RECOMMENDATION THAT HE BE
PLACED IN SOME PRIVATE
SCHOOL.
Leonard Vogel, youth Of 16, orig
inally charged with delinquency baset
upon an allegation of petit larceny
/ was tried Monday to jury in Judge
Roy Ayers court under an amended
complaint which alleges burglary
! 1t seems that. last December the
! defendant and Stanley Sievers, who
is several years older, went to Mr.
Roehls auto establishment on Main
street along in the evening. The
doors to this garage are never locked
They went on to the second floor
where Sievers took a set of shock
absorbers and some inner tubes
which they tossed out of the rear
door and then went down in the alley
picked them up and took them to
Siever's place to put them on Sievers
Ford. Later both were arrested. Slew
er's case was disposed of while Vogel
was held by the probation officer
The fact OF the taking of the things
was established by the testimony of
Mr.. Roehl, Chief e. w. Ray and others.
Mr.. Roehl testified that the shock
absorbers were defective and had
been taken off car and thrown in
this upper floor They had practically
no value. The inner tubes had been
used and spoiled by blow outs, being
| in the same class as the shock alb
sorbers.
| 1t was shown that the youths ad-
! mitted the taking of the articles In
his own behalf Vogel testified that
Sievers told him previously that he
had purchased the stuff taken from
one of the men at the garage and
when Sievers asked him to go along
while he got them he thought it a
very unimportant matter He had no
interest in the articles, did not profit
from them in any way and supposed
Sievers had right to them The de-
fendant is an auto machinist and a
good one, according to the testimony
OF prominent garage men and he was
able to establish an excellent char
acter, all things considered, by reliable
witnesses.
One of the points the state, repre-
sented by Assistant County Attorney
Raymond Dockery, laid stress upon
was that the defendants mother is a
woman of bad repute, having figured
i'll court here on charges of keeping
disorderly house. Young Vogel,
+, who came out from st. Louis, his for
mer home, with an older brother to
join their mother at Roundup a few
years ago, had lived with her but lit
tie in Lewistown and he denied pre-
vious knowledge as to her vocation.
The taking of testimony and argu-
ments occupied the entire day and it
was $50 when an adjournment was
taken until this morning.
The jurors are S. l.. Pratt, William
Hanna, G. W. Eastman, l.. W. Royce,
y. X. Cherrington, j. w. Maddox, L. G..
Clark, e. J. McCullum, Jud McWil-
1iams, Phil LauX, c. E. jackson and
w. d. Marvin.
The delinquency case of Leonard
Nogel, the l6-year-oid boy, was argued
to the jury Tuesday morning by
Assistant County Attorney Raymond
Bockery for the state and c. J. Mar.
shall and J. c. 'Huntoon for the de-
fense At about 4 O'Clock the jury
returned with verdict, finding and
recommendation. The jury found
the defendant not guilty of either
petit larceny or burglary, upon which
the delinquency charge was chiefly
based; that owing to his mothers
character and vocation he was in an
immoral atmosphere and that she
was not a fit person to be his guar
dian; that it would be better if he
We're taken from her guardianship
and placed in some private school,
other than the industrial school, if
that could be arranged.
Judge Ayers stated that the recon-
mendation of the jury would be car
ried out if the means for it were pro-
yided. This it is understood has
been promised
c. j. Marshall and J. C. Huntoon
