and pleaded with tho girl to submit

her mother then returned to my cham

she would not have objected to the ex-
animation 10 prove her innocence had IL
not been for the following facts VIZ.
That her mother lied about her; that her
sister abused her, that her clothing was
unclean and that no one could make her
do anything but that she was perfectly
willing to submit to an examination un-
der conditions that she thought would be
congenial
Returned to Court.
Mrs Young accompanied the girl to
the Deaconess Home, where, after pre-
pairing herself. she willingly, IL not nnH-

girls story to be true. Mrs. Young then
took the girl to her home where she

say that this case shows tho necessity of

Investigation OF all cases OF boys by

WILLIS BROWN
One Of Main Issues.
statement Il proceeded In my usual way
to conduct the case and to question the
girl relative to her conduct" This is one
OF the main issues and one Of the mat
ters that has caused the expression of in
dignatlon and aroused the question as to
whether Judge Brown is In the habit OF
way and using the language he used on
this occasion
Language Used Was Vile.
with the exception of Officer Stains.
every one Of the witnesses stated to the
commission Thursday that tho language
the Judge used was, vile. When ques-
toned by the commission, Mrs. Young.
probation officer In Judge Browns own
court admitted that the language used
by the Judge was uncalled for: She was
also asked IL she had been conducting the
case II she would have used different
language She said that she would not
have used the language that Judge Brown
used
What Probation officer Lucas Says.
Probation Omcer Lucas, also of Judge
a sI,af 1o,
used In questioning the girl had been bad;
He was also asked II he would have used
similar language II he had been conduct,
ing the case and he replied that he did
not think 1t would be necessary to use
the terms that Judge Brown had used.
Differs From Brown.
This evidence by officers OF the Juvenile
court does not coincide with the further
statement Of Judge Brown that 1T would
be impossible for me or anyone else to
have used milder Language or to have put
my questions In a more delicate manner"
The next point in question Is the state
ment made repeatedly 6y pan Jndss EFT. SroWn ,n
take the girl to the physician to be ex-
arnined
Officer Stains Is Positive.
Officer Stains stated plainly that he re-
ceived orders from the court TO take the
girl to tho physician and later stated that
he regretted having TO be mixed up IN the
AFFAIR at oil and that he would have with
drawn II he had not been acting under
orders from the court,
Brown Contradicts Himself.
Judge Brown further states. "she in
sisted with so much vehemence on her
chastity that I was forced. having no
other alternative, to inform the girl that
II she would not assist the court In es-
tabishing her Innocence In face OF all tho
damaging testimony there was but one
way for the court to ascertain tho real
facts and that was to have the court
physician make an eXarniha'ioh' IL her
mother was agreeable
Girl Declared Her Innocence.
The fact Is that the girl was doing all
tablishing her innocence by protesting her
Innocence at the time the court was tudg
ing on her. Had she testined that she
was unchaste Brown would have accepted
her testimony without question and with
out any further Idea of having her ex-
amined. That ie II she was a pure chaste
70 make her out, then her word was as
good as gold with him.
Tried to Scare Girl.
Judge Brown knows. and all of those
who have followed the case have ex,
nressed the idea that no possible good
could come from tho examination. as IL
would be impossible to prove the guilt
of the girl In this case or the quit OF
Trycn either AS shown by the testimony
taken by the commission. none of the
questions put to the girl by Judge Brown
would lead her to think that he was try
ing 70 prove her innocent but rather that
| he believed her guilty and was trying his
hest TO scare her into admitting II. and.

But Was Mother Willingp
Tho next clause in his statement Gays,
