What Browns Action Means.
1T may be a fiction OF law but a mans
house is no more his castle than his BODY
is his own. No person under the consti-
tuition OF any state can be made TO give
evidence against himself But let us pass
over this phase OF the matter. Just stop
and consider what this action on the part
OF the Juvenile Judge means. The drag

In almost every quarter the action OF
Judge Willis Brown OF the Juvenile court
In the case of Emily Knox Is severely
condemned and the injured child has GER
tainly enlisted the sympathy of all
classes. The case Is freely discussed and

Brown Is mathematical and his right to

Railroad Man Severe.
One gentleman, Identified with one of
the leading railroads. was particularly
severe In his criticism OF Juvenile court
methods. What is needed there" he
said, is more kindness and less severity.
The Judge of the Juvenile court should
be m elderly mana man OF family, OF
wide experience In dealing with children.
Forensic knowledge is not an essential.

with kind generous heart. one who can
win the confidence and trust OF the young
Offenders, is what is needed. and a man
of these qualities can accomplish much

elements OF mercy, forgiveness and kind

whatever he renders both himself and
the examining doctor liable to heavy

language In condemning the act Tho
concensus OF opinion was that Judge
Brown had no right in law or civilized
breeding 10 order such a brutal thing,
and that such an act reflects on the men
and women of Salt Lake; therefore, all
should resent 1t.
Tryen Is Released.
Tryen was arraigned in the Police court
Saturday morning, plead not guilty and
was allowed TO go on his own recog-
nizancc This action was taken on motion
of Assistant County Attorney Hansen,
who stated that. In Wow of the fact that
through the physicians examination, there
was no possibility OF securing conviction
In the case.
Hansen's motion to release Tryen was
supplemented by two appeals TO the au-
thorities from the mother of tho girl one
addressed TO Chief of Police Sheets Friday
right and the other TO Judge Diehl Sat
urday morning. Investigations started by
this unexpected action Of the mother
brought 20 light a few interesting facts
hitherto kept In the background
Mrs. Knox and Tryen were Intimate
friends for long time and he declared on
Saturday that her whole conduct In the
case, from first to last, had been caused
by a senseless jealousy.
No Thought of Evil.
Tryen recognizes the fact that his record
and reputation are bad, but he asserts
with a positiveness that carries conviction
with It, that he has never had an evil
thought In connection with the little Knox
girl. Thus, II would appear, in view OF all
the developments In the case that the
whole malodorous hullnbaloo was caused
by the foolish jealousy OF the girls moth
