The Juvenile Court Puzzled by a Precocious Boy. Everett PHILLIPS of 5808 Perry avenue, 6 years old, bright eyed and smiling, was in the juvenile court yesterday afternoon. "Is he a bad boy?" Judge GOODRICH asked the boy's mother. "Well, at home he's no worse than any other boy, I suppose," the parent replied. "He's been in several homes and nurseries, and I hear he's a terrible fighter in those places." "He's too young to be responsible," said E. L. MATHIAS, probation officer. "Better make him a ward of the court." His mother was willing and the boy became a ward. (I have no connection with any of these people but let me know if you do.) neirbo
