Probation officer Purcell had an un-
usual experience Friday when a boy
came to him to confess to misdeed.
1t appears that the boy entered a
building with the intention of stealing
what he could find. He secured one
article when, persons connected with
the place coming in, he hastily con-
cealed himself Discovery that things
had been displaced being made, a
search was started and the young cul-
prit found.
He was told that a report would
be made to Probation Officer Purcell.
Before such report was made to the
officer, however, the boy himself came
voluntarily to Mr. Purcell and told
him what he had done, saying that he
thought he had better come and tell
it himself.
Contrition was expressed for the
misdeed and the boy was permitted to
go after being given some kindly
counsel and advice from the officer.
