With The

A Cross Section of the
Daily Grind in Judge
Mattingly’s Court.
Read ’Em and Weep.
By DONALD M„noUOAL.
A Hard Task.
“At ten-thirty Wednesday night,
your honor, we had a look-out
Tor a stblen car. About two
hour* later, I spotted the mo
chine at Twelfth street and'Mary
land avenue, and ran him to the
curb at Eighth street. He said
he was fourteen years old. but
he. didn’t have any birth.. cer
tificate with him and I took him
around to Number Nine.”
The court: “How old are you,
boy?”
“I!J1 be fourteen next January,
your honor." ' ' ’
Just oht of curiosity we drifted ‘
around to the Juvenile Court th
see how'they handle traffic cases
there, as follows:
into my. Dodge coupe about ten
fifteen Wednesday night, your
honor, when a friend of mine
called, ‘Hello. W 1 turned
around to reply, and I didn’t-, see
my coupe again until ten o’clock
. the next morning, at Number
Nine.’
“Was your oar
“No damage, your honor?’ .
Defendant: “Guilty." - .• .
“Why did you take a machine
that did not belong to you?"
•'“I wanted to see if I could op
erate a gear-shift car.”
“Do you know how to operate
a gear-shift mop—the kind that
has the gear-shift on the side of
a pail?” - .
■i “No, ma’am.”
“They have several out 'there
at the Industrial Home School.
If you learn to operate one per
fectly within ten days, you won’t
have to take a three months’
course In wood-splitting.”
(Exeunt seven assorted relatives,
all with the sniffles.)
After Adjourment.
Alibi Man: “Do you have many
scenes like that here?”
"We have them all day long—
and this is a comparatively peace
ful one. The man’s car wasn’t
damaged, and he is kindly, sym
pathetic, and ready to co-operate
with the court, as too, were the
boy’s parents, if they did have
the snifflee. The boy was straight
forward and apparently repentant
—if he mops floors and shovels
ashes for ten days the repentance
may be permanent. But some
times we have heart-breaking
scenes here.”
‘From what I saw whle I was
waiting for this case to come up,
it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have
One' of those gear-shift mops here.
You must have some very un
pleasant moments. What is the *
average life of a juvenile court
judge? I remember that for sec
ond lieutenants during the war it
was twenty-eight days ”
“That was a temporary condi
dition. But for troublesome chil
dren and unfortunate parents,
there is no Armistice Day.”
I; "Sometimes the troublesome
child makes - the most- worthy
citizen—l was a troublesome child
myself."
“So was I.” And what do you
suppose was the great longing,
the heart’s desire of Judge Sellers,
when pig-tails were in flower?
I She wanted to throw a cobble
stone through a plate glass win
"dow —a cobblestone tied up tn
green silk ribbon. With a big bow
knot on it. How’s that for 100
per - cent feminism? We’ll give
her about 90 on it-'-she’U have to
throw the stone and miss before
she gets the other 10 points.
But she never got that far.
She knew it was wrong, she
said, and so she overcame the
impulse. We used to sidestep
things like that because we knew
they were wrong, too, and be
cause we knew a' good fat licking
was waiting for us at home.
Our ambition was to hold a
kitten up by the tail and hear it
spit—and watch its paws wiggle.
But we never did it because we
were too tender hearted —we
never could bear to see animals
Suffer. Once we climbed a sleet
covered tree to rescue a scared
kitten, and got scratched on the
nose byway of thanks, and fell
and hit our head on a rock.
We’ve never been the same since...
Once we were really overcome
by temptation—we saw the
loveliest kitten for swinging pur ?
poses—but when we went to pick
it up, it was a Manx kitten and
didn’t have any tail. There sure
is a destiny that shapes our ends.
Traffic court must have ad
journed by this time—all the
exciting cases are cleaned up
anyhow. Guess I’ll go home and
see if I can write something
sensible.
