WILEY HILBERT IN
 SUPERIOR COURT Question of Jurisdiction Over Youth Not Yet
 Passed Upon LAWYERS IN DOUBT

Disposition of the case of Wiley Ebert, 15 year old Negro youth. who has confessed to the assault on the maid in the Hillisde avenue home and to half a dozen breaks in other homes in that section, was still undecided at press hour today. Judge Frederick M. Peasley, who presided at the hearing in superior court late yesterday afternoon when Ebert was brought in on < bench warrant issued at request of States Attorney Lawrence L. Lewis. whether the superior court has raignment and sentence, at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
 In the meantime the youth is confined under bonds of $25,000 at the New Haven county jail, where he was taken last night after the court session by Deputy Sheriff John L. Gray. High Sheriff James Geddes, in charge of the county jail, hesitated at first to admit El- bert, because of his youth. but when Sheriff Gray informed him that Judge Peasley had ordered that Ebert be confined until bail was raised, the high sheriff ac- ceded.
 The hearing was called at 4:45 p. m. yesterday afternoon. States Attorney Lewis claimed the su- perior court has jurisdiction over the Ebert case, notwithstanding the statutes of the state which read that 6 person under 15 shall be classified as a juvenile and that juvenile court shall take Juris- diction.
 The question as to the jurisdic- tion of the superior court was raised by Attorney W. w. Gager, public defender, who was appoint ed to represent the youth. It was his claim that the statutes speci- fcally state that youth under 16 shall not be classed as criminal and that the action in disposing of his case shall be classed as a civil action and not a criminal.
 Attorney Gager argued that FL bert should be turned over to juvenile court here, which is the city court.
 Mr Lewis pointed out in his ar- gument that should Juvenile court take over the case, the most severe sentence would be a con- finement in reform school until he is 21. When he has reached 21 he is automatically freed. He classed the law as being nonsensi- cal in relation to the case in ques- ton. He said he did not believe the legislators of the state when putting that law on the statute books. desired that person under 18 could commit murder and rape and only be punished with a six-year sentence in a reform school. He pointed out that an older person who wanted a mur- der committed, could hire some youth under 18 with a promise of a large sum, to commit the crime and then explain to the youth that the most the state could do would be to confine him in a school for six years. He argued that the whole question depended upon the Interpretation of the statute. l Lawyers around the court house to-day iu discussing the case, point out that the supreme court has never passed on the question. insofar as deciding whether the superior court can take Jurisdiction in a serious crime by a youth un- der 16.
