POETRY PLAYS PART
IN JUSTICE COURT
Lawyer Appeals in Verse
and Judge Replies
In Kind

Departing mOmentarily from the
usual forms Of court procedure, JUS
tice Z. B. McCiintOck's court was the
scene Of a touching incident during
the trial of a Mexican boy named
GambOa GyciendO on the charge of
malicious mischief.
The mother of the lad was present
in court on behalf OF her boy, who is
about 8 years old. He was defended
by James J. Murphy. In making an
appeal for his client, referring to the
presence Of the mother, Mr.. Murphy
repeated the following verse.
Remember, I'm a widow,
And the prisoner here, my son,
And. your honor, please remember
It's the first crime that he's done.
Don't send my boy to prison,
For that would drive me wild:
Remember, I'm a mother,
7 am pleading for my child.
Justice McCuntOCk considered the
case for a few moments, then turned
to the young defendant and delivered.
at once, an admOnition and his decis-
ion, as follows:
MY boy, you're in the wrong today,
BY others don't be done.
No matter what your faults may be
You are your mothers son;
Her prayer is not unheeded,
The court will mercy show,
But never bring dishonor
On the best friend men may know

of the plans are unfinished. 1t is stat
ed, too, that considerable business
building is being talked, and while
just at present very few have reached
the figuring stage, the men who are
doing the talking are said to be easily
able to build anything they plan and
have been identified in other similar
transactions.
During the past month, say some of
the land men, the demand for city res.
idence property has been very brisk,
without any particular choice as to To-
cation, the activity being pretty gen.
eral and covering all portions, even to
the farther out suburbs. 1t is believed
that the placing on the market of 9th
er additions will stimulate the city
property feature, and especially in
those places where the tendency will
be to cater to the middle class, Offer
ing moderate price stuff.
