VAGRANTANDDUMB,
YOUTH IN THE TOLLS
Bertram Jeter, Twelve Years Old,
Tells Pitiful Tale to Judge
De.Lacy.

Struck dumb as the result of blow on
his head last Christmas. Bertram letter.
twelve years old, Of Milford. Va. was
brought before Judge De Lacy in the
Juvenile Court yesterday afternoon on
charge of vagrancy. The youngster
was sent to the House Of Detention,
where he will remain while attempts are
being made to locate relatives.
The boy called at the home of Police
man Martin e. Horne. of the Eighth pre-
cinct, 25 c street northeast, Tuesday
night and handed the officer a piece of
rumpled paper on which was scrawled in
juvenile hand:
Dear Friends: VIII you all do some
thing for me? 1 am hicted and cannot
talk and the lord win Bless you. Amen.
Bertrsm Jeter. Give me a few pennies,
please"
Homeless and speechIess.
The policeman took the boy into the
house and questioned him at length. Ber-
tram took a pencil from his pocket and
answered the questions in writing. Ac-
cording to the story of the youngster,
he formerly lived in Baltimore. About
three years ago he went to live with his
uncle, Gus Jeter, of Milford, Va. The
boy says that his mother is dead and
that he knows nothing of his father.
Last Christmas while returning from a
river on a farm wagon, the vehicle over
turned. Bertram was caught under the
wagon. his head being crushed. Since
then the boy has been unable to talk.
During the latter part of February the
uncle died, and the boy started for Bal
timore, where his aunt, Mrs. Sarah
Green, Of Beiarter street, resides. Ber-
tram had a dificult time and was COM
PEELED to beg to obtain food. Policeman
Horne had the youngster sent to the
Juvenile Court on charge of vagrancy.
Bertram had much TO tell Judge De
Lacy and his pencil was kept busy. He
told the court that he could talk in a
whisper. but that the effort caused him
great pain on the top of the head and in
the temples. The boy was clad In rus
tic costume, consisting of overalls, an old
ragged jacket. a heavy cap, and large
and worn shoes.
Judge De Lacy ordered that the boy
be sent to the Emergency Hospital for
physical examination. Every effort will
be made to restore the boys speech. In
the meantime court ofiicials will attempt
10 get into communication with the
youngsters aunt in Baltimore.
