Rover, Chief Deputy Marshal Stephen | B. Callahan and George A. Sterling, | ss‘:g‘ennbendem of the National Training | 00l for Boys, are entitled to a writ of prohibition against Kathryn Sellers, Jjudge of the Juvenile Court, who cited the of last August for oonkmg! of her court in removing Frederick C. Russell, colored, 14 years old, from the custody of the Juvenile Court. The boy had been held guilty of a misdemeanor before Judge Sellers July | 12 last and placed on probation. On August 6, by direction of Rover, Calla- n took the boy into custody on a felony charge and placed him in the training school. Arraigned in Police Court. The boy was arraigned in Police Court August 10, and pleaded gullty to house- breaking and joy-riding, and was sent to jail to awalt action of the grand jury. Judge Sellers issued her citation in contemp! Peyton . ey, a for the writ of prohibition al:vm Judge Sellers proceeding with citation. The matter came before Justice Frederick L. Siddons, who post- Abpenls should decide. the- qusscior of p) the exclusive right of the Juvenile Court over a juvenile under 17 years of age. That tribunal has since acted in an opinion hol that the Police Court has concurrent jurisdiction over all Jjuveniles with felonies. The application for the writ was then re- newed before Justice Stafford. In a lengthy opinion Justice Stafford holds that Rover and the other officials were maintaining the authority of the District Supreme Court to have posses- slon of the boy while he was awaiting action of the grand jury, since the court could not proceed t him while deprived of his custody, and had never coul:l.\enud to surrender its possession of Not in Contempt. There is no more reason, the court suggests, to hold these officials in con- tempt of the finferfor court than it would be to hold the justice of the Dis- trict Supreme Court that passed sen- tence on the boy. Since the Juvenile Court had no power, the court points out, to interfere with the jurisdiction of the District Supreme Court, it can have no power fo entertain contempt proceedings based Assistant United States Attorney Neil ‘l’!&rkh\shnw argued the case for the BAND CONCERTS.
