PERKINS WAS RELEASED
The Boy Was Friendless and
Couldn't Give Bonds.
HIS OWN RECOGNIZANCE
Several Inrormations Filed by the County
Attorney - Carrie Lawrence Is
Charged With Having
Vicious Habits.

Harry Perkins, 12-yearold boy who
has been in the county Jail for two
months awaiting trial for burglary,
was released yesterday on his own
recognizance, on motion Of County At
torney Connolly. The latter stated to
Judge Clancy that Perkins and two
other boys had been Informed against
for burglarizing CAROLS grocery store
and that the other two, having friends
in the city, were able to give bonds
for their appearance, but Perkins was
friendless and was compelled to remain
in Jail. Mr.. Connolly said the boy was
sickly, his father having died of con-
sumption. and owing to the condition
of the trial calendar it was not likely
that the case would be reached within
three or four months, it would hardly
be humane treatment to keep the boy
in the crowded jail that long. Upon
the boys promise to be on hand for
trial when wanted the court told him
he could go. 1t was stated that Mr..
Carroll, the prosecuting witness, had
consented to the boys release.
Informations were filed against Ken
meth Haviland for burglary, Eugene
Meller for grand larceny and Dan Sui
livan for burglary. Haviland is the
man who stole lot of cigars from the
Heilbronner company, and who, after
being arrested and bound over to the
district court under a $1,000 bond,
jumped his bail, but was subsequent
ly captured at st. Paul and brought
back to Butte for trial.
Mellier, who is at present out on bail,
is charged with stealing 600 pounds Of
copper from the Anaconda company on
| Aug. q.
Sullivan burglarized the residence of
Ras Rochester on Sept. T.
| Bench warrants We're ordered issued
| for the three defendants. and they will
| be arraigned some time next week.
| The county attorney filed a compliant
against Carrie Lawrence, aged 10.
| charging her with incorrigiblity, and
she will probably be sent to the re-
form school. The complaint relates that
| the girl is not subject to proper paren-
tai care; that her parents are unable
| to control her actions because of her
vicious habits and hayward disposition.
| 1t is alleged that for year or more
she has been guilty of vagrancy. and
| has wandered about the streets at late
| and unusual hours of the night; that
| her habits are bad and pernicious and
that she keeps company and frequents
resorts of questionable character.
About 20 informatons are now on
record against defendants in felony
| cases who are awaiting trial, and Judge
Clancy and the county attorney will
| have about two straight months OF
| criminal work when the trial of the
mining case now--on before Judge
Clancy is completed The Shadwel
murder case will probably be the frs
to be tried, and that will be followed
| by the Hesley murder case.
