Willie Smith is Is years of age, but he
looks more like 10. His mother lives at
I'll State street. and she had him arrested
for vagrancy. He appeared before Judge
Campbell yesterday morning, and his
mother said she wanted him sent to the
Whittier Reform School, as he was a bad
bov. who ran away from home and refused
to go to school. She was a widow, and had
no means OF making him behave himself.
He spent his time reading dime novels;
and when arrested, three lurid publica-
tions, revolver and package of cigarettes
were found in his pockets.
Judge Campbell said he was sorry he
could not send Willie to the Reform School
on charge of vagrancy, and Mrs. Smith
remembered that Willie, while she was
correcting him with piece OF wood in the
yard, seized Ratchet and tried to strike
her with it. The Judge advised her to
swear to complaint charging Willie with
assault with deadly weapon, and then he
would send him to the school. The com
plant was sworn to, and Willie was booked
on the charge.
