 CHARGE UNDER NEW JUVENILE COURT LAW-lS RELEASED ON
 RABEAS CORPUS.

Anniston, September tSpecial)-The juvenile court law recently enacted by the legislature of Alabama became ef- fective yesterday and had it's initial infiu- ence here, when 1t was the means of securing the release of Ira Perryman, q 13-year-old boy who was languishing in jail in default of s75oo bond for fatally shooting Phil Crook
 The juvenile law provides that no of tried in the regular courts of the state, but provides a special court for such cases Hence the city court room was cleared of persons except Mir. and Mrs Perryman, the boy. witnesses and counsel and young Perryman was ar ralgned on haheas corpus proceeding.
 Judge Coleman released Perryman and placed him in the custody of his father until Saturday, when he will likely be sent to reformatory, the only available punishment or means Of cor rection under the juvenile law.
 The attorneys for the state, however. may rcrew their efforts 10 prove the boy over l. years old. which would, if sue cessful, reopen the case and make cf- fective the indictment of the grand jury which is now sitting.
 There is considerable objection to the juvenile law here, as il eliminates all punishment for boy criminals. no matter how grave their offense.
