 Thoughts of home and mother caused Jay William Boon, charged with forgery, to break down completely in the police court yesterday and weep bitter tears of repentance. He admitted his wrong-do- ing and told Judge Feagin he was ready to go back to the old home at Camp Hill and lead better life. Wade Wood was in court to speak for the youth, who was charged with forging his fathers name to check for s9o. MT. Wood said he and his partner, B. F. Crabbe, who vouch- safed for the endorsement on the check, had no desire to prosecute the case and that the youths father, Alonzo Boon, had written him a letter agreeing to make everything all right provided the boy would return home. It was during the reading of the letter that Boon showed deep emotion and wept. The father said that he would have come 10 Birmingham in person but for the fact that his wife is desperately IL He told of how she longcd for her boy to come home and set tie down. and agreed to pay the amount of the check if his son would accompany Marshal Jenkins of Camp Hill back home and agree to never leave again. Marshal Jenkins was in court, having brought the letter from the father.
 Judge Feagin admonished the boy to let his arrest be lesson, and told him he would mol pros the case If he would agree to the conditions in his fathers letter. Between tears and sobs Boon quickly answered In the affirmative and he left on the first train for the scene of his childhood.
 Boon has been playing ball in North Carolina and only recently came to Bir- mngham. He knew MT Crabbe in a business way and asked him to endorse a check supposed to have been drawn by his father on the First Nastional bank of Opelka. MT. Crabbe stood good for the amount at local bank and when the check reached Opelika it was pro- tested. The arrest followed.
