valued at s25. In making an investiga-
tion Of the defendants past record the
fact developed that he had been a ward
OF a Maryland school for boys some
time ago. Accordingly a psychological
test was made OF the boy by DR.. Spies
man, OF Philadelphia, who comes 20
Wilmington every Saturday IN connec-
ton with Juvenile Court work. The
boy and his parents feel that he has
not had q fair chance. The boy was
placed In charge Of Z. Ross Farra. chief

crap at the foot OF East Third street,
near an old oyster wharf. Ofilcer Hyn-
son made the arrest The boys were

one. who was remanded 10 the House
Of Detention until a suitable home can
be found for him. His parents were
from Salisbury, Nd.
One particularly dihlcult case was
that Of a girl OF II years who was sc-
oused Of being incorrigible. She was
placed on probation. She was told that
she must not 80 on the street without
her parents until the court changed the
order, and she was not 10 work except
at home on account OF her condition.
and she was 10 receive no callers. In
three days the chief probation officer
learned that all these orders had been
disobeyed, so her probation was broken
and she was taken into custody and
brought before the court and commit
ter TO the Delaware Industrial School
for Girls.

is similar in many respects to that
of William Harvey, negro, who died
several weeks ago from the effects of
gun shot wound inflicted by
James Polk, negro.
Shields was shot by Lena Ward,
negress, who told the police when
arrested the day following the
shooting that she had shot Shields
for interfering with her while she
was attempting to pack up her be-

She was bound over to the grand
