Slippery Youth Goes
Off to PruntytoWn

Lorence Patterson left at noon today
chained fast to the wrist of trusty
from the Pruntytown Reform school.
Quite a group of interested people
watched from the court house steps.
Patterson has been rather a slippery
customer, twice nearly eluding Off
GERS. The trusty who came for him to-
day was about his same size. The two
went down the street to the train on
good terms, talking and smiling. If
Patterson tries to get away. he'll have
to take the trusty with him. Proba-
tion Officer Musgrove followed behind
TO the train. The handcutr was PLAIN
to be seen though Patterson tried to
conceal his share Of 1t under his coat
sleeve.
