Boy simuIates Crazy Man

The detectives have negro boy in their
hands that is a remarkable prodigy. The
negro says that he is crazy, although
when observed alone acts nationally.
When with anyone the boy gives a real
live imitation of a contortionist, twisting
his body and face into outlandish shapes.
The little negro, who is about 10 years
OF age, has been perpetrating numerous
thefts In the city during the last few
days, and when arrested by Detective
Chiiders the. boy turned sullen and re-
fused to talk When arraigned before
Mayor Lewis this morning the boy re-
fused to talk only maintaining that Use
crazy. has fits," following this state
ment with one, much to the amusement
Of the court officers, who were fully
aware of his shamming. He was sem
fenced to 40 days hard work, which the
officers believe will cure him of his crazy
spell for quite while.
The most amusing incident in the whole
affair occurre dthis morning in the
mayors court. When the boy, who gives
half a dozen names, but was docketed
as Douglas Monroe, refused to respond
to the questions of the court, his step
father, who is an old-fashioned negro, be-
came provoked and started for the boy
with upiifted hand. meanwhile expressing
his opinion of the boy in forcible lam
guage The old man was afterward or
dered to apologize to the court for the
language used. The old negro's apology
was extremely funny, and the courtroom
rocked with laughter as he made it. An
other young negro arrested for petty lar
ceny was Sheridan Davenport. He is
charged with numerous thefts from the
Reeders hospital. His case will come up
in the morning.
