A Lively Experience
While in Richmond.
GOT ALL BUT TEN CENTS.
BOATFIELD WAS SHOWN LEN
IENcY IN COURT BECAUSE CT
SYMPATHY FOR HIS WIFE AND
CHILDREN.

John Boatfield of Dayton was In
Richmond Tuesday. He met with
some old friends, got drunk for the
first time in his life, lost all his mon
ey but ten cents, tried to whip a
bartender and ended up strenuous
day by insulting a policeman who was
giving him friendly tip on the prop
er method to employ in escaping ar
rest. AS a result Boatfield was pinch
cd and said ''howdy-do Judge" in the
city court.
Boatfield told a straight forward
story. head down, and asked for len
iency. He said that his wife and child
were in Dayton and they needed his
assistance. TT was the first time that
I ever got drunk, and 1t will be the
last time. Judge" The officer then
told of Boatfield's escapades and as
a result Judge Converse assessed
fine of S. and costs. This complete
ly crushed the young man.
After imposing the sentence Judge
Converse decided to investigate the
case more thoroughly, so he made
personal investigation. Reputable cit
liens who knew Boatfield spoke well
Of him so the judge had the young
man brought before him again. He
told him that, in the absence of the
prosecutor, he could not dismiss the
case but that he would indefinitely
suspend the hearing of 1t. He told
Boatfield that he took this action be-
cause he believed him to be telling
the truth and because of the pity he
felt toward the wife and child.
Court Gives Lecture.
"You have spent all your money
with so-called friends Perhaps they
took some of it away from you. New
err regard such men as friends in
the future and give them a wide
berth. Your wife and child need all
the money you can make for them
so don't spend your money foolish
1y." said Judge Converse.
NOW, before I allow you to go,
want you to promise on your word of
honor that you will never get drunk
again." added the court.
Il give you my promise and it will
be an easy one to keep said the re-
pentent Boatfield. He then thanked
Judge Converse for this kindness and
stated that he appreciated more than
he could tell the lecture he had receiv-
ed. Judge Converse believes young

Gifted by the milk of human kindness
than by prison bars and whenever he
has the opportunity he dispenses this
