YOUNG GIRL IN POLICE COURT
'Til die before I'll leave my mother.

old Peart Matthews In police court Fri
day morning as she frantically clung
to her mother and wept hysterically,
lust after Recorder Broyles had taken
her away from the mother and ordered
her sent to the Home for the Friend-
lees.
"It would very likely be the best
thing for you to die rather than to
stay with your mother," replied the re
corder.
The girl entwined her arms about
the waist of her mother and held onto
her with a vlce-llke grip, and the latter
had to go back Into the prisoners' room
with her, accompanied by Miss Sander
son, the matron. The scene proved one
of the most dramatic witnessed In the
police court tutors In some time.
The mother, Mrs. M. A. Matthews,
nnd the girl came to Atlanta on March
15 from Newberry. 8. C. Probation
Officer Qloer received reports to the
effect that the mother was not the
proper person to care for the child,
and, after an Investigation, brought
both before the recorder.
Judge Broyles placed the girl In the
ime temporr~''“ **“ —" —
that she had
brother In Newberry
rlad to care for her.
Mrs. Matthews denied vehemently she
was guilty of any wrongdoing.
