Docket Kept
Fire Suspect.
Out of Court

A crowded Juvenile Court
docket permitted only two of
four previous cases involving a
13-year-old boy-now accused
of setting fire Tuesday to Hine
Junior High School-to be re-
ferred to the courts judge.
The boy, scheduled to appear
soon in a preliminary hear
ing before court aides, first
appeared before Juvenile Court
Judge Orm w. Ketcham in
March, 1858. The boy was
charged by postal inspectors
with stealing a package the
previous fall from a neighborS
mail box.
In October, 1858, he was
placed on probation for this
offenSe, court records show,
after admitting the accusations.
Last February the boy was
brought in again, on a COM
plant he stole SIG and a purse,
but John Larkin, director of the
Juvenile Courts social service
staff, closed out the case, noting
the 13-year-old was already
on a probation, which would
continue.
Then, last June, Judge
Ketcham had the lad before
him for the second time on a
charge of the theft of $3.50 and
a purse from the House Office
Building. The judge ordered
probation continued.
1t was at this time that the
boy was started on a course of
treatment under guidance of
the courts clinical psychologist.
With the boy apparently re-
spending favorably to this ap-
iproach, court aides decided not
to refer to the judge a COM
Iplaint the juvenile had thrown
a f1recracker at another boy.
Police records reflect the 13-
year-old'S statement he hadn't
intended to hurt anyone, that
he merely threw the f1recracker
down an alley.

heJcnam-dgreeS WIN uelLLer
opinion.
Judge Ketcham believes the
waiver rule, as authorized under
the Juvenile Court Act, should
be applied to individual cases
as they appear in his court
The two waiver cases that
have stirred up critical COM
ment in the past weeks origi-
mated from Judge Ketcham's
court, although he personally
waived only one of them. That
was the case of an 18-year-old
boy, accused of housebreaking,
which was denied juvenile
court treatment yesterday by
United States District Judge
Charles F. Mclaughlin on the
grounds the judge was not
sufficiently grounded in child
psychology.
Precedent Set
The other case. originally
waived from Juvenile Court by
Judge Austin L. Fickling, in
volved a 17-year-old youth
charged with purse-Snatching
In a precedent-making action,
United States District Judge
Luther w. Youngdahl decided
to conduct the case as juve-
nile proceeding in his chambers
Both incidents illustrate the
opposite extremes in judicial
thinking on the waiver prob
lem.
Judge Ketcham is not
swayed by either of these poles
of thought" a juvenile spokes-
man said yesterday.
In handling those felony
cases, involving 16 to 18 veal
old youths, which legally coulo
be waived to District Court
Judge Ketcham apparently is
more concerned with the indi-
yidual merits of each case
rather than rubber stamping
them simply because they fall
within the waiver category.
Factors to Weigh
The bulk of potential waiver
cases involves such adult-type
felonies as housebreaking, rob-
berry, aggravated assault ano
auto theft. The cases can be
waived only after the Juvenile
Court has conducted a full in
vestigation based on its socia.
service reports.
In appraising such cases
Judge Ketchum must consider
the boys age, previous record

tion," the type of adult he as
sociates with, the seriousness o.
the offense and, not least i'm
portant, the Juvenile Court

facilities for handling the
youth.
OF the 103 cases waiSed to
District Court last year-out of
some TOO potential waiver cases
the majority involved youths
in the II to 18 year old bracket.
Court officials admit that the
older a youth is the more likely
his case will be waived. to Dis
trict Court. The reason is that
the court cannot provide the
rehabilitation facilities for the
older youths bordering on the
statutory age limit of 18.
Facilities Around 16
ION the other hand, in cases
where the youth was just over
16, the Juvenile Court felt it
had the facilities to help" said
one official.
Judge Ketcham believes in
the present jurisdictional limit
of 18 for his court. He opposes
those critics who call for an
age limit of 16, which in effect
would eliminate the waiver
issue entirely. The waiver
statute applies only to juveniles
between 16 and 18 years who
have committed a felony.
To those critics, particularly
the police, who believe that
waivers should be the rule and
not the exception. and to
their opposites, Judge Ketcham
maintains this position:
AS. long -aS the waiver rule
provides him with a discretion
ary authority to send cases to
the upper courts. he has some
measure of "flexibility" in
treating the more serious
offenses. And he likes that.

in which the company was fined
500 for transacting business on

The Supreme Courts refusal
to hear the case, however, came
as a disappointment to many
Northern Virginia merchants

on the constitutionality of the
laws which had been questioned
by attorneys for Georges Ware
house.

At the conclusion of the Com

fendant moved that the trial
court strike the evidence and
dismiss the defendant on the
ground that guilt had not beer

The trial court overruled the
motion. After the jury re-
turned a guilty verdict the
defense attorneys asked the
trial court to set aside the
verdict, and that motion also
was overruled. At that point
the case was appealed.
