When Orvin Beagle, the 17-year-old
white boy,a,who plead guilty to grand
larceny was called, Judge Johnson
gave the lad lecture ON the great
wrong he had committed and admon-
iished him to take heed to his steps,
saying to the boy, you do not look
like a thief, nor even bad boy" The
Judge said that the law left some dis
cretion to the Court in such cases,
and while he would have to send the
boy to the penitentiary if he pro
nounced sentence, he would avoid do
ing that by suspending sentence until
next court, with the distinct under
standing that if the lad kept bad com
pany, or in any way led an immora
life, he would pronounce sentence
then. 81 will give you one more
