who was in trouble and wanted help.
While there Mr.. Stephens saw boy
and found, upon inquiry, that he was
Eugene Long and that he had been in
jail about three months. The lad was
bound over by the county court await
ing the meeting of the grand jury. At
the time of his arrest it was brought
out that the lad had broken into a
store in order to get something to eat.
He claimed that he was hungry and
that there was nothing to eat at home.
His mother is widow and works, as
do her daughters, for the maintenance
of the home. Mr. Stephens does not
approve of the method the boy pur-
sued in order to satisfy his hunger,
neither does he approve of sixteen
year old boys being kept in jail away
from home influence and often thrown
with hardened criminals. Conferences
with the jailor, the county Judge, the
states attorney and the circuit Judge
resulted in the release Of the boy yes

Made his exit from the place,
With the big stick on his shoulder
And a smile upon his face.

You could hear his footsteps fall
