Asks The Evening Journal to Deny
That They Have Been In Any
Trouble, Except Recent Case.

Mr.. Show, the aged father of Albur-
It's and Brantner Show, the boys who
were acquitted in Justice Felker's
court Monday of the charge of enter
ing a Baltimore & Ohio box car with
intent to rob, called at the Office Of
The Evening Journal and entered a
protest against the use of the term
"Biddle brothers" in connection with
the boys. He says this is unfair to
the boys. lie also stated that the
boys had not been iii any trouble, with
the exception Of the recent case, when
they were acquitted.
Mr.. Show stated that he had the boys
sent to the reform school because
they would not attend school here, and
that. they were released for good beha-
vipr, and have been behaving them
selves since they returned.
The parents Of the boys are highly
respected By all who know them. and
no one has ever blamed them in the
slightest degree for anything the
boys might have been charged with
and no one surely can blame them for
trying to protect the lads as far as
possible.
