Franklin Murray, tho young follow who was recontly committed to the Ke-form Ke-form school, was the solitary occupant of tho cage, iu the marshal's ollioe today, to-day, the prisoner having been returned from tho Keform school at Ogden with the citation that he Was incorrigible. Marray, who is a smooth faced youth with a penchant for cigarettes, has a complaint to lodge against .Superintendent .Superin-tendent Parton, whom he alleges is guilty of some very eccentric practices. It would appear from tho prisoner's story that the superintendent hits a detective system by which he seeks to keep the inmates under close vigilance and complitiuts, upon the authority of Mnrrav. cenurallv na-s through tho boys. Murray says he refused to join the forco and for this reason he was pronounced incorrigable. "The liarton case," said ho, "is stirring stir-ring up a big stink, but then I guess they'll bust it up. You see Maggie Faulkner is old enough to be her own boss ifow and Clarence Goddard, the fellow who ran away with her, is way up in the twenties. Oh, there is going to be some fun before it's over, and 'tween you an1 me I'd rather be in my shoes than liar-ton's liar-ton's " . "How's that?" ' "Well, one of the boys told me he had confessed to Maggie's mother and said hu did it because he loved her. Well, that's a funny thing to tell a mother. Hut I s'pose they're goin' to send me up, an' I. wanler tell you I'd rather be id the pen than in that place up there." Murray pleaded guilty to burglary some two months ago aud at the suggestion sug-gestion of the prosecution he was sent lo the reform school. .. a . |
