Show HABITS CORRECT, INSISTS GIRL Emily Knox Taken Before Juvenile Court on Her Mother's Complaint. "I have always been a lady, but I ain't going to be now," was the statement state-ment made by sixteen-year-old Emily Knox of Murray to Judge Brown of the Juvenile court yesterday afternoon. The girl was taken before the court on the complaint of her mother, who stated that she could no longer control her. The girl was arrested Wednesday by the police at 79 West Third South street, where for two or three days she had been occupying a room with Albert Tryon. Tryon is now in the city Jail on a vagrancy charge. When the girl was taken before Judge Brown yesterday afternoon she defied the court i and refusedU to answer any questions ques-tions put to her. She was finally ordered removed from, the court. When the officer offi-cer undertook to remove her she shrieked and cried until she was placed in a hack at the north entrance. Her cries . attracted at-tracted a large crowd, which thought that something awful was happening. She was taken to the Deaconess home for the night, where she remained in charge of a woman probation officer of the court. A physician declined to examine ex-amine the girl on the request of the court. The girl insists that her relations with Tryon have been absolutely correct. Should it prove otherwise, a criminal charge will be preferred against Tryon. Tryon himself says he merely gave the girl protection from her mother, who had driven her from home.
