Atwell Wins Confi dence of Men He Sends to Pen and Helps Them Go Straight NEW YORK, Sept. B.—“ While you_are spending these 13 months at the penitentiary, I want you to be thinking right. Tnen when you come out and meet your old gang, tell them all to go to hell and say, ‘l’m going straight’.” It is Judge Wiliam H. Atwell of Dallas, Tex., temporarily assigned to the United States District Court here, passing sentence upon a law breaker. “Now give inc your hand before you go,” says the judge. “And promise me that you will try to re member what I have told you.” By this time the judge’s kindly eyes and sympathetic voice have brought the convict almost to tears. He thinks the judge is his friend and has at least a momentary resolve to make good for the judge’s sake. ' This is a sample of Atwell justiee. Its author has faith to face a na tional outcry over a crime wave and say his methods are practical. He keeps up the friendly interest after the men pass out of sight, writing to them and even visiting them in prison. The judge happens to be the grind exalted ruler of the order of Elks, and he carries over into his courtroom a good share of th<- “benevolent and protective” doc trine of the order. For 1G years r.e was a United States district attor ney. All his life he has been culti vating his human contacts to learn people. “I used to think that when a man committed a crime, he ought to be hit pretty hard.” Judge Atwell tells a visitor. “Finally it dawned on me that one great purpose of society in dealing with a lawbreaker was to try to make him a good citizen. You can’t reach him by hurling denunciation at him. That keeps him in his old attitude of a warrior against so ciety. “And so it came to me that the wyiy to do is first make him see that he is wrojjjr and deserves punish ment. Then hit him a little les hard than he thinks he edsem es. You have a chance this way of touching that bit of him which gavs ‘ I want to be right,’ and which I believe it in every man. no matter how deeply! buried, * . .x. a- • ’BOBBY* WOOLEN SERIOUSLY HURT IN PLANE CRASH Local Flyer Falls On Simon Island; Left Americus Sun day for Home Robert L.
