THREE GIRLS IN

Gunnel-Boy With Love for Guns

Three girls, not yet Is years Of
age. are locked in the county Jail
awaiting the action OF the Juvenile
court and it is likely that Judge
Volney c. Gunnell will dispose OF the
cases next Tuesday morning.
Two of the prisoners, Margaret
Hassing- Massey and Myrtle Griffin,
have for n long time been wards of
the court, but the third girl, Marga-
ret King, is making her debut In po-

Sey and Margaret King were arrested
a few days ago for the theft OF a
watch and were turned over to the
juvenile court by Judge Murphy OF
the municipal court In the munich
pal court one OF the girls gave her
name as Massey. stating that she had
been married about four months ago.
Judge Gunnell says that in the mu-
Diclpal court her name is Hassing
and that the court has not yet taken
cognlzance of her precocious matrl-
monial venture. as the action was
taken by the girl while she was Il
ward of the court and without the
consent OF the juvenile Judge
Whether or not the girls marriage
Will take her from the jurisdiction OF
the Juvenile court has not been del-

thinks that the fact that she was
ward OF the court at the time of the
marriage gives his court sort of
prior claim on the girl.
