Establishment OF a 1910 tax rate

CASE IN COURT.
Prosecutor, State School
for Boys Official at Odds
in City Court

System Of Connecticut state insti-
buttons, with particular reference to
the Connecticut State School for
Boys at Meriden, was vigorously
criticized by Prosecuting Attorney
Michael J. Galullo during q city
court trial Of a moral delinquent to-
day.
Addressing Thomas r. Morriss,
field agent for the Meriden
school, Prosecutor Galullo charac-
terized the state institutional sys-
tenn as very, very bad" and
added:
'There Is no justification for such
a system"
The prosecutor gave vent to his
rebuke OF the institutional system
when NORRIS implied that the Mer-
iden school did not wish to reas-
sumo responsibility for q youth who
was discharged last week and ar
rested three days after his discharge.
Same Old Problem
Said Morriss: IF we were to
take the youth back there, the prob
lem would only arise again at a
future time. While in the institu-
ton, the youth lived under ideal
conditions. He Is perfectly adjusted
to the life there, aside from a few
infractions. But II we should take
him back, he would only get into
trouble again, after his discharge"
Galullo thei. asked Morriss
whether the youth could be COM
mitted TO state institution for men,
tai cases.
HE could :. II a private psychia-
trist should recommend the action"
Morriss replied.
How about the psychiatrist at your
placer" asked the prosecutor.
"No," said Morriss. "Our psychia-
trist Has examined the youth, but
aside from the irregularity in ques-
ton, he found him normal"
