The case Of Ollie Taylor is attracting
nation wide interest Letters are pour
ing into The Georgian office by every
mail protesting against further punish
ment of this thrteeny year old boy at
the Industrial farm. Mayor Woodward
Is receiving letters OF the same nature
from all over the country, These pro-
tests are largely based on misappre-
hensIon of facts.in the case.
Briefly, the case of Ollie Taylor is
this He was arrested when he was ten
years Of age for the larceny of a five
cent bottle of soda water He pleaded
guilty and was convicted. He was SEN
fenced to an indeterminate term Of
eleven years. TO carry him up to the
period Of 81 years Of age. He was or
dered confined on the industrial farm.
The case was appealed and finally
reached the state supreme court The
court passed on the law. but not on
the facts, and decided that the law
under which the boy was tried and
convicted was constitutional. The su-
preme court did not touch upon the
merits Of the case or the sentence.
that the boy has been placed at the In
dustrial farm, and as soon as the super
intendent of the farm decides that the
boy is not incorrigible he will be set
| free, This freedom may be given to
him tomorrow, next week, next month,
next year, or whenever the superinteHd- =
ent of the farm considers it advisable
to do so. And if the superintendent of
the farm does not consider II advisable
to free the boy. under the law he must
remain at the industrial farm for eleven
years or until he becomes Il years OF
age. t-.....
Case Not Novel
The case of Ollie Taylor is neither
novel nor unusual, for there are 2O4
other boys now at the industrial farm
whose Grimes" were of about the same
enormity as Ollie Taylor's and whose
sentence runs to approximately the
same length of time as the sentence Of
the Taylor lad
The idea of the indeterminate SEN
tence is that youngsters who are in
corrigible may be held under the law
until they have learned to become bet
ter boys and that their freedom is a
matter entirely Of their own record as
to good behavior.
w. w. Tindall. chief probation Off
Ger for the Juvenile court, today issued
an explanation of the case of Ollie
Taylor, agreeing with what has been
set forth. Mr.. Tindall declared the
boy is not being punished. He is in a
house of correction, sent there after a
thorough investigation ana for his ben
eft, according to the probation officer.

Washington, June 23.--Judges, law
yers, policemen and spectators were
sent scurrying to cover in the Grim
inal court when Ray NJ. Stewart, Is,
fired three wild shots in an attempt
to "shoot up the court.
At the first crack Justice Stafford
disappeared beneath his desk and out
into a court room.
There was wild scramble for safe
ty.
Some of the people leaped to the
ground, Is or 20 feet below.
Stewart was seized by witnesses
and disarmed and sent back to a cell.
Justice Stafford had just refused TO
release Stewart on probation, after
a conviction for attempted highway
robbery. The boy whipped out 81
caliber automatic pistol and fired
three shots, two Of which narrowly
missed assistant United States Attor-
neys Samuel McConas Hawken and
Harvey Given, and Policeman Moffit.
He was in an attitude Of turning to-
ward the Judge, as il to shoot, when
Ia witness, Edwin Blaine, sprang upon
him and choked him into insensibility.
In the confusion that followed many
thought Judge Stafford had been
struck by bullet, but the Judge
emerged from his haven without a
scratch.
Stewart had been convicted recent
ly of holding up negro In a Wash
ington suburb last December. He ap-
piled for probation as a first offender
and Judge Stafford had been hearing
the testimony of witnesses for and
against the applicant. ....
Stewart lay Unconscious for sever
al minutes after being disarmed. Lat
Ter he was removed to a cell in a room
beneath the court room, where he re-
fused even to admit he did the shoot

youth was unbalanced as result of
