Justice crutchiield was the pos
SCISSOR OF a grtat big heart What
,plways impressed me most was the
way he handled the cases in Juvenile
Court. After sitting on the bench in
criminal cases he would come over
into the Juvenile Court with whole
~ different attitude. Always willing
to help the weaker persons he would
assist III every way possible tie
younger persons who were bciIS
tried in Juvenile Court"

Il learn with the deepest regret Of
WAS the first Juvenile Judge OF Nir-
mia. presiding over the court for
four years. after which limo tho
.iuvcnil" and Domestic Relations
Court was esta blished. During this
Time served as probation officer

'sincle John.' as he was afect!onate-
~ termed by his conferccs in the
Juvenile work lie was indeed "a man
of rare Judgment, and full OF kind
for one holding, the Office which he
