Youths Outburst to the Bench
“WHY THE H—” NO FRIENDS OR MONEY “THE last time I was here you told me to get to H—; — out of Court. Why the H don’t you do what you want to do, and give me three months now. This was the gentle answer that Mr. W. R. McKean, S.M., got in reply to a quiet question in the Police Court this morning. It was Robert Alexander Andrews, aged 20, whose sudden outburst startled the court. He had pleaded guilty to a charge of being idle and disorderly. Senior-Sergeant Edwards said that the young man had been found sleeping in a boat. On arrest, he told the police that he had been sleeping out all the week, and was without friends or money. Captain Davies, of the Salvation Army, said that he might be able to do something for Andrews. The Magistrate (to accused): Well, will you work if employment is found for you? This was the question to which Andrews made his fiery retort. Mr. McKean: I don’t think you will be able to do much for him, Captain Davies. At Senior-Sergeant Edwards’s request accused was remanded for a week for medical observation.
