No Remedy.
How He Tries to Show Boys
Result of Evil Course.
A TYPICAL CASE PRESENTED

Juvenile day was held this morn
the case reiterated the need In Nc
Cracker county of facilities for hand
ling incorriglble boys. Oscar Roberts,
Z years old, sat in his mothers lap
while Judge Lightfoot attempted to
Iextract a statement from him as to
why he steals, lies and does other
criminal things. Lizzie Roberts, the
child's mother, who lives near
Twelfth and Burnett streets in "Tin
Can" alley. was taken before Judge
whipping the boy. but Judge Light
foot had issued this warrant princi-
.pally to get the mother into court
She had whipped the boy because he
had worried the whole neigh borhood
by his vicious pranks. until Judge
Lightfoot ordered Detective VIII
Baker to bring him to court. Whim-
perngly he told how he was lead
into wrong doing by his older COM
paniOns, some of whom have been
evident that Oscar must have been a
good follower If not a leader in any
devilment suggested.
Judge Lightfoot did the only thing
he could under the circumstances and
ordered the boy sent to the county
sanltarium on the Lone Oak road.
to be kept until he shows improve
ment in character He said it would
be criminal to send so young a child
to the state reformatory. where he
would be thrown with Older boys
with confirmed bad habits The case
shows. Judge Lightfoot said, the cry
ing need of a school or institution in
this county, where such boys could
be sent to be under the care of a
person who had his heart in the work
and who would teach them right
principles before it is too late.
Bert Roberts. who has been in the
reform school several times. is a
brother of the child in court this
morning. They seem to have had
poor home training, and have given
the authorities no end of trouble.
Oscar is not old enough to know the
difference between right and wrong,
and Judge Lightfoot gave him an i'm
pressive talk about his life at the
county poor farm, telling him of the
penalty of running away.
Another Case.
Willie McRay. a companion of
Oscars. was before Judge Lightfoot
yesterday, and il is thought he was
strongly impressed by the sights he
saw. Judge Lightfoot took him over
to the county Jail and through all the
cells. having him see the criminal.
there and lecturing him on the sure
end of bad life He was introduced
to Jailer j. w. Eaker and told the
county officials that he would reform.

help these boys" Judge Lightfoot
said this morning, "but without any
place to send them, my efforts neces-
sarily are limited In effect. We are
allowing boys to grow up into crimi-
mails, to handle whom will cost the
state large sum later on, and they
could be saved to useful lives by the
proper effort. If the good people of
the county could see one or two of
these trials they would not be in
different about this urgent need"
