Boys say they stole so they
could go to training school
Two juvenile boys, who said
they committed burglaries just
so they could be sent to training
schools did not get their wishes
in Spalding Juvenile Court.
Instead, Judge Andrew
Whalen, Jr., gave them
probated sentences under the
supervision of Juvenile
Probation Officer Ed Crawford.
The boys, ages 13 and 14,
turned themselves in to the
Spalding Sheriff’s Department
several weeks ago and admitted
burglarizing Moore Elemen
tary, Spalding Junior High
School Unit 111, and the
Broadway Service Station.
They said they committed the
crimes because they thought it
would be nice to go to a training
school. In fact, they took two

ball bats from one of the schools
just to prove they were the
burglars. Two candy bars were
stolen-from the service station.
The two also were charged
with criminal damage to
property, as they broke win
dows entering the buildings.
Judge Whalen told them he
was going to disappoint them by
giving them the probated
sentences. He advised their
mothers to “take ’em home and
beat their bottoms.” Both
mothers said they already had
done that.
A 14-year-old girl also was
given a probated sentence for
reporting a false crime.
She and another girl were
spending the night with a sister
and slipped out of the house to
meet their boy friends. They did
not come in until the wee hours
of the morning. So, they made
up a story and told the sister
they had been abducted by
three men driving a van truck
with an out of state tag. They
managed to escape after being
driven around for several
hours, they said. The sister
called their parents who
reported the abduction to the
Spalding Sheriff’s Office.
Investigators there worked
all night and into the next day
checking out the story which
they determined to be false.
The second girl is from
another state and will be tried
for the offense in her home
town.
Three boys, two 16 and one 14,
were sentenced for violation of
the Georgia Drug Abuse and
Control Act by possessing
marijuana. The younger boy
was sent to a training school, as
he had committed a number of
other offenses. The 16-year-olds
were given probated sentences
and ordered to attend the
monthly drug abuse classes at
the courthouse.
A 15-year-old who did not
steal anything when he broke
into the Salvation Army
building and was accused of
taking money from a residence
he burglarized was committed
to the Department of Human
Resources. He will continue to
live at home but will be under
intensive supervision.
A 12-year-bld who committed
a strong-arm robbery by for
cibly taking money from
another boy received the same
sentence, as well as two 16-year
olds who stole motorcycles. The
16-year-olds also were ordered
to make restitution.
A 15-year-old was ordered
held in the Spalding jail until the
out of town victim he robbed is
able to appear in court to testify
against the youth.
Probated sentences were
given to two 16-year-olds who
damaged and burglarized three
or four local businesses (they
also will make restitution), to a
girl, 14, who got into a fight with
another girl, and to a boy, 16,
who was caught shoplifting
some cigarets.
A 16-year-old who was caught
shoplifting and stealing both
here and in Atlanta was sent to
training school under the
Georgia Department of Human
Resources.
The case against a 14-year-old
charged with discharging a rifle
on a public road was dismissed
for lack of evidence.
Five custody cases involving
18 children were heard.
Five of the children were
removed permanently from
their parents’ custody and will
be eligible for adoption through
the Georgia Department of
Human Resources.
Four of the children were sent
to the Georgia Baptist
Children’s Home for temporary
custody and the others involved
were placed in temporary
custody of the Department of
Human Resources.

Pistol ban suggested
ATLANTA (UPI) - Atlanta’s
new public safety commissioner
said Friday he would like to
ban all pistols in the city, which
for the second straight year
topped the FBl’s murder statis
tics.
“I just want to get guns out
of the hands of people,” Com
missioner A. Reginald Eaves
said. “I’d like to get rid of
guns, period, especially hand
guns, so that only officers of
the law are carrying them.”
Eaves said he is not sure
whether a ban on pistols would
be constitutional, or whether it
could be made retroactive so
persons owning guns now would

looks like ordinary measles, are
up 19 per cent this year, accord

Control (CDC).
Seven deaths have been re
ported across the nation from
the fever so far this year.
In its weekly morbidity and
mortality report, the CDC said
Friday part of the increase in
reported Rocky Mountain Fever
cases is attributable to im
proved reporting methods.
“But, it appears that there
has been a real increase in the
incidence of the disease in re

There were 668 cases of the
fever all last year. So far this

Georgia and Atlanta have
topped all other states and cit
ies in per-capita murder rates
for the past two years, accord
ing to the FBI figures. Eaves
said easy accessibility of a gun
in domestic spats is often a fac
tor in the murder rate, and
burglars often use stolen guns
for other crimes.
In an interview with the At

“I was looking at yesterday’s
crime sheet, and at least 15
guns were stolen from homes.
The risk is that someone will
break in and steal the gun
along with other things.”
