TOTS PLEA Saves
DAD FROM PRISON
City Judge Wouldn't Let
Law Take Burk's
Last Cent
LITTLE FAMILY
IS HAPPY AGAIN

Moved by the sobbing appeal If the
10 year cid son OF John and Mary
Burk, Judge Churchman, after finding
John guilty in City Court this morning
OF keeping a disorderly house and fin
ing him $50 and costs, RENTED the
fine when it was found the family had
nothing in the house to eat and no
money beyond that which would have
been taken to pay the fine.
When asked about the matter this
morning Judge Churchman said he was
moved not only by the appeal OF the
child but also by sober second thought
which in spite Of the testimony OF
witnesses that Burk abused his wife,
seemed TO indicate that the wife was
apparently more TO blame than the
nan.
"Burk has been working for about
80 years and supporting his family,
said the Judge. Additional evidence
showed that the woman has not al
ways. been as good as she might be.
There seemed 10 be every reason to re.
consider the case and when the child
told me there was nothing In the house
but the money that would have gone Ia
pay the mans fine, believed the wis
est thing would be TO remit both fine
and costs"
Burk was released and went home
TO his little family grateful for the
spirit Of Christmas which fills the city
at this time.

CHURCH RECORD NOT IN
Itself LEGAL EVIDENCE

A mild sensation was. caused in
City Court this morning during the
hearing of the case of Leroy Goslee,
charged with a statutory offense
aga INST girl under is years of age.
when a young woman arose in the
court room and announced that she
knew when the girl was born and
could prove her statements.
I'VE shall have to start all over
again with thzs case" said Judge
Churchman. This case already has
been continued to permit preparation
OF the case and II comes into court
only partly ready. 1 cannot hold
this defendant any longer. ] shall
have to smiss the case"
Goslee was aires ed last week and III.
case was continued at the request Of
the Stale to permit investigation of the
girls age. which was declared by hei
aunt TO be under Is years, but wa'
sta ed by the girl herself 10 be over Is
wears. In court this morning, an at.
tempt was made to prove the age Of the
girl by introducing as evidence ID par
ish register of st. MichaePs Church
where the girl was alleged TO have been
christened.
Judge Churchman ruled that the regis
ter could not be admitted as the record
was in the nature of heresay evidence
because it might have been made W
from statements told by other parties
and consequently did not constitute con-
elusive evidence.
As there was no other evidence e

crowded that standing room was at
premium and trains reaching Will

night, were jammed with passengers.
Train officials stood on the steps of
some trains as they pulled into the
station here and informed prospective
passengers that there was standing
room only. Even through trains
were filled with passengers who occu-
pied every available space, hundreds
standing in the aisles.
The train leaving New York Friday
night at $50 o'clock, was two hours
behind schedule, on account of delays
occasioned by heavy express traffic.
Trains leaving Wilmington early
Saturday morning were crowded and
in spite of every effort of railroad OFF,
Gals to care for traffic. many passen-
gers had to stand IN the aisles OF
trains.
