Suspending sentence during good
behavior seems to have worked very
satisfactory since Judge McCloud has
been in charge Of the juvenile court.
Three Animas. lads found guilty of
grand larceny and sentenced to the
state reformatory for two years, SEN
tence suspended during good behavior,
and a lad from the Kline section give
en- similar sentence for burglary,
have just completed two years of good
behavior, satisfactory to the court.
Each one of the number has reported
to his honor monthly, either orally or
in writing. Today, in accordance with
the agreement made at the time the
sentence was given, the judge issued
an order suspending the sentence alb
solutely. Had they been sent to the
reformatory, the outcome at best
would have been doubtful. Under ex-
isting conditions they have grown to
be useful citizens, who have learned
lesson that will never be forgot
ten.
