Police Justice Crutchneld had a very
sad case brought to his attention this

mcnt in Il matter that was extremely
delicate, but as usual he decided in
way that means much good 10 those af-
fected.
kitty Burns, pretty little brunette
Just past fifteen years Of age, but she
Is naughty. The chlld's father died
some time ago, and since then che has
been under the care of her mother Mrs.
Maggie Burns, whose name appears in
the police court records.
The motherly command and eye has
not been operated as 1t should have been
over Kitty. and for the past year the
girl has been rapidly descending into a
life OF shame.
The company she kept was fast and
the hours she stayed away from the
place she called home would have caus-
ed many boy to have been severely
punished. but Kitty was allowed to
regulate her own time.
She frequently stayed out untily an
hour too late for any one to be on the
streets. and she has even remained out
OF the house all night.
She had companions who were known
10 have made regulations and frequent
ly the police have had occasion to tell
Kitty to "move along"
Members OF the force who saw her
out late would caution her against her
actions, and have often warned her
that sooner or later she would be ar
rested.
The girl of late had been seen around
low places, and houses Of tll-repute.
Her mother did not seem to care and
friends at last took hand in her re-
demption.
Tuesday afternoon a sister Of Mrs.
Burns. who resides in Norfolk, came to
the city and called upon Justice
Crutchfield, pleading with him to do
something to save the child. This His
Honor promised to do, and this morn
ing was agreed upon as the time.
y. NJ. Coleman, Of Petersburg, who Is
a relative OF the girl, called at Justice
Crutchfield's office, accompanied by Mrs
ter over. 1t was decided to search for
Kitty.
Detective Tomlinson. at Justice Johns
request, went out to find her and after
visiting several Of the haunts Of the
girl, and falling to find her, went to
the home OF Mrs. Burns on Eleventh
street, where he found Kitty. He re-
ported to Justice Crutchfleld, who direct
ed that the couple be brought to his
office. Mrs. Burns and the little girl
were at once brought to the office. Tis,
Honor talked with the couple, and they
both denied the charges. At last as
policemen and detectives told the most
positive happenings, Mrs Burns weak
ened. She was anxious to see. her siS-
ter and Miss Powell was sent for. The
