Willie Jones, aged 14, colored, was given a hearing Saturday in juvenile court following his theft of a bicycle several days ago, the bicycle belonging to Hubert Terrell, white.
Willie evidently was born a merchant for he immediately sold the bike for the sum of $4. This resulted in his arrest and trial. He will now have to appear before the juvenile court judge each month to show that he is behaving. In addition to this, he was ordered to pay for the damage done to the wheel and to refund the money to the person to whom he sold the bike.
