Mangum Monitor: The court room is
often the scene of dramatic and touching
occurrences. One of the most touching
things that happened at this term of
the district court was one in which
Judge Burwell played the leading part.
There was a boy-a Swede, VINO hal
been confined in the county jail for sew
eral months on the charge of being
a horse thief. When this young man
was brought in before his honor to plead
guilty or not guilty. the judge looked
him over and had a whispered converse
ton with County Attorney Matthews,
and turned to the boy in a fatherly way
and asked him If he had an attorney,
how long he had been in jail If his par
ents were living, his age, chances OF
schooling, and where he was born. These
questions brought out the information
that the boy was born In Sweden, had
never been to school and his mother was
dead The judge told him in a simple
manner that if he would 90 and be a
good boy and not take peoples property
without their consent, and go to school
and try to make a good, useful man, a
good citizen out of himself. and give a
good report of himself at the next term
of court, he could go on his own recog-
nizance; that he would do everything IN
his power to help him out, and not
have a blight cast upon his young life.
You may go now, and be good boy
said the Judge. There was many a m ist
eye in the audience, and all agreed il &
most gracious judgment.
