part of the time and when he was away the boy got into bad company Ho concluded with the statement that ho thought the industrial school the proper place for the boy Judge Groff stated as there Vias no proof that young Cover had committed any crime he would not be justified in sending him to the reform school The boy was then asked by the court if he took the money and he replied in the affirmative 7 Upon this admission the court made tho order that he be sent to the indus trial school with the proviso however that if his conduct was good he need not stay there until he had arrived at his majority The boy protested against going to the reform school and when the sentence was pro nounced burst into tears He continued his sobbing until after the remaining juvenile offenders had
