LASH FOR ToUon BOYS.
Police Judge Says He VIII Follow His
Predecessors Plan.

Evansville. Ind. May 31.-POlice
Judge Clifford T. Curry has announced
that he will follow in the footsteps of
his predecessor, Judge Winfrey, and
will order young boys whipped when
brought before him. He thinks the pol
ley of Judge Winfrey good one.
When Judge Winfrey went 10 the
bench four years ago he often had to
deal with boys of tender age. and he
did not like to send them TO Jail, where
they would become the associates of
hardened criminals. During his term
as judge he ordered about 300 boys
whipped in the corridors of the lock-
up.
The judge was severely criticised
for his methods of dealing with the
boys. and received letters from various
parts of the country. One woman
wrote him from Boston in these words:
You are certainly brute You
should be given the boys place, and
the dose should he double Your
course is one that would have been
indorsed in the dark ages" The peo-
pie of Evansville, however, indorSed
Judge Winfrey's methods. and his
whipping post was recently establish
ed in other cities.
