A Husbands Reticence

1t took some argument to per
suade him that the only way to get
the trouble Strengthened out was to
tell the whole story, but then he ad-
mitted that when he met his wife
she was a street walker and offered
herself to him. He saw her fre-
quently after the first time. She
occupied fat with her sister and
her four children lived with the two
women, who both brought men into
the house for immoral purposes.
The Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children learned of the
case and threatened to take the
children away from their mother.
Low as the mother had fallen, she
fought for her children, but the S.

IN THE evening rush houf
Young woman on crowded
Second Avenue surface car
suddenly raised great outcry,
a.cIarjng she had been robbed. She
vas q poorly dressed woman, sitting
rsa~ the front end of the car with
baby in her arms. The shabby
bag that hung from her left wrist
was open. The woman pointed to it.
Il have been robbed" she
screamed. "I had 50 in my bag and
have been robbed The bag is
oDer and the moneys gone-all the
money had in the world-and me
with a sick baby"
She accused a young Polish Jew
sitting next her Of taking the
money He denied it. and they had
= back and forth. You did and l
didn't at the tops Of their voices.
Woman the One Arrested
It 50 happened that on the back
rlatform Of the car was police
matron. who was on a detective as
signnent. She went forward and
recognized the woman with the child
IS an old offender, one who had been
street walker for several years. 1t
was the woman with the child who
vas arrested instead Of the young
Jew. The impression was that the
woman was playing . species of
badger game, trying to frighten the
Jew into giving her 50, but she was
arrested on a charge of intoxication
and taken to the Women's Night
Court.
The magistrate in the night court
felt little uncertain about the case,
for the woman was not intoxicated.
He changed the charge TO disorderly
conduct and held her for the day
court. The magistrate in the day
court was not so rushed and sent
for the woman's record. There were
eight convictions against her, some
for soliciting, some for intOxication
and some for disorderly conduct. In
the old days that record would have
settled the question.
Ten dollars or ten days. the
magistrate would have said, and the
woman would have been sent back
to the cells and her child taken
from her and turned over to
q protectory. But probation exists
today. A magistrate can hesitate
about separating a mother and her
baby. The magistrate before whom
this woman was arraigned sent for
6 probation officer and released the
woman for two days in the officers
custody.
Never before had the woman
known sympathy from a Judge or
seen anything Ike friendship in an
officer of the law 1t took her all
the first day to get used to the idea,
and the probation officer wisely d
not press her, merely offered to
help. By the second day the woman
was ready to talk She sat in the
front room Of a meanly furnished
twO-room and kitchenette apart
ment. She had been crying plenti-
fully and she cried a good deal
while she told her story Her hair
was untidy, her clothes were thrown
on her and her baby, In a soiled
white dress, rested on her knees.

The Wronged Wife

In a recent case the woman came
to the Domestic Relations Court
with a very dramatic recital of her
wrongs. Apparently these included
everything short Of manslaughter.
1t is true that her accusations
against her husband were indefinite.
The judge asked her if her husband
had ever struck her.
"No,' she replied. "He didn't ex-
actly hit me-"
"Wen, did he swear at you?"
asked the court.
"No," said the woman. "He didn't
exactly swear"
The judge assigned the probation
officer to report on the case. The
woman, after deal of persuasion,
admitted to the officer that her hus-
band had been guilty of only one
wrong act. He had not brought
home all of his money when he was
paid off. She admitted that he
brought home the larger part of his
salary, but his envelope was broken.
He was holding out some.
Then the probation officer went
to the husband and faced him with
this terrible accusation.
"Yes," the man admitted, ~ have
been keeping out some of my money
for several weeks. You see, our
wedding anniversary was about due
and | wanted to give her some
thing
That made the woman admit that
her husband had recently given her
present, and reconciliation was
effected. Both the court and the
probation officer felt that in this case
the man had some sentiment and the
woman none at all. However, they
were kept together and the home
was maintained, which was far bet
ter for the children than had the
home been broken up because of the
unjust suspicion and meanness Of
the woman.

probation officer went around early
and found the pretended husband in
bed. She asked him why he did not
go to work and support his wife ana
child.
Il haven't any money. I haven't
any shoes. haven't even the price

The officer gave him some money
and sent him out for a shave and

for the family to eat. She went out
herself and returned In an hour
with an order for a pair Of shoes
and card that would get him a Job

the officer went around again in the
evening and asked the man II he was

After little hesitation he admitted
that ne was not and then began to
make excuses.

am for probation. There is a chap
up in Harlem who agrees with me.
He was picked up in Lexington
Avenue, between 124th and 125th
streets, for "mashing" a girl. The
girl said in court that she was sit
ting on her front steps when the
man came along and smiled at her
and then tried to get real friendly
The man had no defense except that
he did not mean anything wrong, but
it was the first time he had been ar
rested and the magistrate decided to
have a probation officer look into
the case.
Both Lexington Avenue and
125th Street at that point are known
as a favorite beat for street women.
The probation officer looked the
ground over and found that the
house where the girl lived had a
sign beside the door Furnished
Rooms" He reported to the magis-
trate with certain suggestions, and
when the case came up again the
officer said to the girl in court:
when this happened weren't you
sitting with your back against that
Furnished Room sign?"
II guess l was" the girl replied.
~ generally do"
Maybe you smiled little first, E"
the officer suggested.
Maybe I did," the girl admitted.
"He was funny looking. But I was
only laughing at him."
An Exemplary Record
That's enough" said the magis-
trate. Both the girl and the man
got pretty severe lecture, and the
man was released on probation. 1t
was all the lesson he needed. The
probation officer kept him under OBJ
servation for six months. His con-
duct was exemplary, and he is as
straightgoing a man as there is in
the city to-day.
There is another kind of service
that probation performs. 1t helps
the court to pick out offenders who
are trying to put something over. A
taXicab driver was served with a
notice to appear in the Traffic Court
for speeding. He appeared in the
court the next morning in military
uniform with a sergeant's chevrons.

wound stripes. The magistrate at
once adjourned the case and put a
probation officer to work on it. He
was not going to be hard on a hero
of the war.

probation officer was there with the

Then there is the case Of Jar and
