8=Year=Old Henry
Trial "GetS His.

The checkered career of Syear-old
Henry Trial, son of jerry Trial, Water
street, was, for a few years at least
brought to close, Friday, when JUS
tce of the Peace Frank Plumstead
sentenced him to the State Reform
school to remain there until he is u.
The crisis of Henry's career came
about through a charge of breaking,
entering and larceny from the Wins
low store of Proctor d Bowie on
the might of Oct. "a. He, together
with Henry Bernard, an 11-year-old
companion, forced an entrance to the
store through a window and stole two
% caliber reyolvers, one 81 caliber re-
volver, two air guns and a box OF
cartridges. Yesterday, they were ar
rested by Special officer Fred Simp-
son.
For the third time within as many
months the little Henry has been a
defendant in the local courts. He Gre
atcd sensation the later part of the
summer by stealing a horse from the
city hall yard ami running him to
Benton with the police giving chase
in an auto. A few weeks later he was
charged with the larceny of five dol
lars. And there are still two other
serious misdemeanors of Henry's that
have not found their way into tho
court. The daring and bold act of the
young desperadoes of Tuesday night
convinced the police that the reform
school was the safest place for Henry.
The other Henry-Henry Bernard-in
view of its being his first offense. was
placed on probation for two weeks,
and at that time his hearing will be
continued. His father, Louis Bernard

Townsend SCudder Faces Court
Order Obtained by Lawyer.
ATTACKED IN DECISION
Plaintiff Resents Allegation;
Made in Davis Case-Bar
Association May Act.

An unusual proceeding was started in
Brooklyn yesterday. when Robert II.
Wilson. a lawyer, asked the Appellate
Division OF the Supreme Court to in
vestigate the statements made regarding
him a short time ago in a decision by
Justice Townsend scudder. OF the su-
preme Court
Mr.. Wilson obtained from the court an
order directing the justice 10 show cause
why he should not be compelled 10 give
his grounds for taking the lawyer 10
task for his conduct IN the case OF Buell.
G. Davis The order is returnable Mon
day. In the same decision in which he
attacked Mr. Wilson Justice Scudder
scored the Appellate Division for per
hitting Mr.. Davis to he sent to jail and
deprived Of his property. contrary TO a
decision Of the Court Of Appeals.
The litigation involved the disposition
Of the estates OF William Il. King, OF
Greenport, Long Island. and his widow.
Mrs. Mary +. Davis King. Mr.. Davis
was the woman's executor. After CON
siderable litigation the Court Of Appeals
decided that Mr.. King had left his money
absolutely 10 his wife. Later the lower
courts held that she had only a life in
terest, and demanded that the executor
account for the property which came into
his hands, at the same time appointing
George II. Seward as the administrator
Of Mr.. Kings estate. under the assump-
ton that Mr. King had left his widow
only a life interest.
Mr.. Davis failed TO account, and was
sent 10 Jail from which he was only re-
leased after he had given up his last cent
and was broken down in health. This.
Justice scudder pointed out. was wrong
in view Of the decision Of the highest
court in the state. and he advised Mr..
King 10 take the matter formally before
the Court Of Appeals. His suggestions
are now being carried out.
In his decision Justice Scudder stated
that Burr. Coombs and Wilson were at
first attorneys for the King family and
later the attorneys for Mr.. Seward. Mr..
Davis hired Frederick H. Tasker as his
lawyer. and an effort was made to get his
fees away from him. This effort was
blocked by Justice Scudders decision
Mr.. Wilson is vIce-president OF the
Brooklyn Bar Association and did not
care to start proceedings through his
own association, so applied to the Appel
