Judges bench She was n good actress.
She pretended not to hear word. IL she

BUSY IN BACK ROOM
She was noticed by the court. Then the
Judge came down TO cases again. Another
trip to the back room, and something was
agreed upon A trio came forth from that
room and all trooped from the courtroom
to come back Saturday for hearing after
the constable does his work.
That was the way 1t was all morning.

If one strolls casually into the room at
1928 Girard avenue, where Magistrate Joseph
Call has his office, listens for a while, then
strollsN out, the impression that will lodge
in the visitors mind is that the atmosphere
of the magistrates office Is not so much
iuridcal as IL is profane and that the
Judge himself is not so much juristic as he
Is explosive.
A stenographer's report of what an
EVENING LEDGER reporter heard yesterday
wouldn't be fit to print And there were
ladies present too! But the magistrate
probably had this fully in mind and was
simply living up to the letter of an office
maxim that held a prominent place on
wall. Said the maxim;
"Profane language is expected-especially
If ladies are present"
1t was reasonably early in the forenoon
and the Judge wasn't shaved. Maybe that
was why he was in a bad humor. He was
exercising n good deal, too, for he had to
make many trips from his desk where he
dIspenses justice in public to the back room
marked private" where he fixes up justice
TO be dispensed
But all at once below stiled conversa-
ton Women who came for justice had to
wait The Court was arguing with an Office
satellite.

IT, Not a - nickel The lawyers
got $425 and we amt got - -. I'll

with this"
The satellite tried to spit manfully, miss
ed the cuspidor tried again, and made 1t.
He returned to argue obseuuiously. He
spoke low. and hatteringly, but the Judges
anger wasn't appeased. He laid down the
Call law on such cases the satellite spat
again. and departed on his assignment.
Then the Judge delivered a monologue,
spoken so all could hear, but meant for
himself alone

LOOK TO BOYS FOR CLUE.

With what small clues they have had
run to earth and found OF little worth,
the police have cast an eye back upon the

demeanor Of each OF them has been above

the mystery may not be entirely unknown

Here IS what the police say may have
happened:
The boys, out for the lark OF frightening
one OF their circle employed at the Phila-
