WITHOUT A SENTENCE.
Records Do Not Show Why Boy Was
Sent TO Reform School.


Kansas City, Kan, Feb. 3.-Gatchel
Cooley, IT years old, is in the reform
school in Topeka. There is no doubt
about that, but why he was sent the
records of the Wyandotte county ju-
venile court do not show.
Mrs D. P. Cooley, mother of the
boy, wants her son released from the
reform school and John T. Sims, judge
OF the juvenile court, has written to
the authorities there stating that he
can find no record that will show that
the boy was ever sentenced to the
school. The docket of the case is a
blank except for the name of the boy.-
The boy was made ward of the iu-
Venile court by Van B. Prather, then
probate judge, and paroled. There
is nothing among those papers to
show that the judge ever made an
order sending the boy to the reform
school.
L have searched all the records of
the Juvenile court in this office and
can find nothing to show that the boy
was ever sent up on any order of the
court, Judge Sims said. 81 have writ
ten to the school asking that he be re-
leased because nothing is here to
show that he has any business in the
reform school,
I remember the case,'' Van b.
Prather. former probate Judge said
last night. The boy was sent up for
violating his parole. can't under
stand why there is no record on the
docket of it. He has been there a
year, however. and am in favor of
releasing him."
