made the following wise ana touching
remarks
Il cheerfnlly agree "a commit this UNI
fortunate boy 10 the Reformatory OF the
Prison Association Of Virginia, and
CONGRATULATE the people that there is such
an Institution I'm our State. 10 commit. IN
proper cases. youthful offenders. 10
sentence Arthur Bcvin 10 the peniten-
tiary would he TO make him, in ninety
nine cases out Of q hundred. a confirmed
criminal. and in his particular case, IL
would be 10 break the heart Of most
deserving woman, a widow his mother
whose heart bleeds for his thoughtless
act. All the circumstances connected
with the arrest and confession OF young
Revll., taken together with his subse-
quent conduct and demeanor yesterday
in the witness-box, convinces me that
his mind Is only the weak mind or
child. with immature and imperfect per-
ceptions Of right and wrong.
In this connection. desire TO say
something with reference 10 the Reiorma-
tory. 1t has been I'm existence only
few years. but the good IL is doing to the
State and society cannot be over-esu-
mated. Since | have been judge Of this
court. personally there has come under
sf..., n a
thoughtless youth. who had committed a
crime. was sent to this school Of reforma-
ton. and the care. the kindness ana
Christian influences thrown around him
whilst there have resulted in making
man Of probity OF him. and he Is. | am
informed to-day. useful and respected
citizen Then men who have I'm charge this
ReformatOry are gentlemen OF the highest
character. and devote their best talents
in making this great work Of philan-
thropy success. In its management
the efforts Of Major Stiles. Of Mr. Caskie,
and Of the Rev. w. y. Williams, and
others are worthy Of the highest need
of praise. and and should commend the
Prison Association Of Virginia to the
people OF the State and to the Legisla-
ture i'm session.
And before entering the order in this
case, what shall ] say 10 you, poor, UNI
fortunate boy? That YOU did wrong.
there Is no doubt. That you committed
a crime Is fact. but as | look at you,
mere mite Of a hoy. ] confess TO no feel
ing but that OF sympathy, and TO no
sentiment but that Of pity. In the Re
formatory you will have the best care
and attention: you will be taught by
competent teachers you will be under
systematic religious influences.
'sprofnfca mo 70 make "A man of VO1Ir-
self. and the act Of the Court and of the
Commonwealth Attorney viii be just-
fed Promise me that YOU will do
this by the love you bear for your low
ing mother. whose anguish bears so
heavily upon her.
May God. in His infinite wisdom and
mercy. aid you in the glorious work of
reformation"
