TRYING TO REFORM
A YOUNG CRIMINAL
JUDGE FEAGlN ENDEAvORlNG TO
GET WEIGH IN REFoRMATORY.
YOUTH PLEADS GUILTY OF
GRAND LARCENY.

Judge Feagin had an interesting case
Yesterday in G. M. WEIGH, white boy
who was arrested on charge OF grano
larceny and carrying concealed wea-
non. and he is holding the case up to
see If he can get the young man In
reformatory.
WEIGH is only 1s years old and came to
Birmingham year ago from South
Carolina. He has been rooming on Eigh-
teenth street, between Second and Third
avenues, and recently his room mates
missed ring and two pistols. They had
WEIGH arrested Wednesday night at the
union passenger station as he was leay-
ing for New orleans. In his pocket was
found one of the stolen pistols, and other
property was also recovered.
In court yesterday Welch pleaded guilty,
and told a rather pathetic story. He
said that he had been living here for a
year, and working in a foundry. He Is
a machinist. He said that he lost his
position recently and that he had no
money and was driven to stealing the
things in hope of getting little money
The boy said this was the first time In
his life he had ever done anything like
this, and that he was sorry and wanted
to lead q better life.
Owing to his youthful age Judge Feagin
held the case up until he could see If
there was room for the boy in the re-
formatory at East Lake. He told WEIGH
that if he was bound over he would be
sent to the mines for a long term, and
when he came out he would probably be
a criminal for the rest of his life. Judge
Feasin said:
IF L keep you out of the mines now
you may reform and make a good citi-
zen. II would be much better to have
you a good tax paying citizen than to
have you a burden on the tax payers,
and that is my object in not sending you
to the mines. u the legislature would
appropriate more money for a reforma-
tory like the one In Nashville there are
many young men like you who could be
made useful citizens
Young Welch is not related to G. NJ
WEIGH of Ensley, employed in Birming-
ham.

generally firm, notwithstanding lower
cables on reports of too much rain
in the central belt, covering by shorts

Shortly after the opening there was
slight decline under liquidation as a
result apparently of the increased
