Atwell of Dallas, Tex., yesterday brought a philosophy of friendliness for criminals into Fed- eral Court, where he is sitting tem- porarily. He said that he liked to make cul- prits who were brought before him “feel at home,” and by talking in kindly fashion to them to cause them “to love the law."” “I believe,” he said, “when a man breaks a law he should realize that he has broken something that is his. When he steps .on another per- son’s foot, he apologizes. When one bruises his Government, he makes his’ apology by settling. When he has settled, he is just as good as he was before, if he keeps himself good.” ‘When two young men pleaded gullty Federal Judge Gives “Love of Law” Talk -Before Fining Rum Runners before him of transporting, liquor the Judge said: “It is no pleasure to sentence young men such as you are. I can fine you a small sum or a large sum,.-but what is the use of fining you at all if you are going to pay your fine and go right out and do the same thing over again? The law which you have vio- lated is not very popular, I imagine, in certain sections of the country. But whether popular or not, it is the law of the land and must be obeyed. I would like to have you men say, after I have finished with you, ‘I'm done. No more violating my country’s laws for me." " ‘The judge closed his remarks by saying: “I now fine you the small sum of $100 each.” The young men left after promising to obey the law in the future, and others who followed them and were similarly fined made like promises.
