Judge Howard Kennedy Explains and
Defends Juvenile Court Proceedings
i
Text of Letter Written to Mrs. Draper Smith in Response to Request for Information About
Recent Scandal Case.
"My Dear Mrs. Smith: 1 am wrltlnsr In
response to your request "oi" a statement
from me with reference to the action
taken In certain cases recently heard be
fore the, Juvenile court. These matters
have received bo much publicity and have
been the subject of so much discussion,
much of it basgd upon a misapprehension
of tho facts, that I am glad to have this,
opportunity to place before you tho
actual situation, so fur as It Is within my
personal knowledge.
"I was In Lincoln tho first few days of
hast week In attendance upon the sessions
of tho state conference of Charities and
Correction and returned home Wednes
day morning, going directly from the
station to the court house. Shortly after
my arrival there I was called upon by a
group of parents who were greatly con
cerned for their sons, tho latter being
Involved, together with some young girls.
In certain cases filed In tho juvenile
court. I stated to them that I would not
hear tho cases of the boys until after I
Some Growing Children

usually the cause.

ruddy and rosy bubbling with energy

had heard those of the girls, and that I
would be glad to have them present so
that they might themselves hear the
evldenqe.
"The session pf the Juvenile court are
held usually nnd regularly on Saturday
of' each week. In view of tho fact that
it seemed apparent that the evidence In
these cases would be of a delicate char
acter and In order to secure as much
that of the community requires that they
ba reached and corrected. Ono of tho
most wholesome laws wo have Is that
which makes every person who con
tributes to cause delinquency or depend
ency In a child guilty of a misdemeanor.
The proceedings against adults who "aid
and abet" delinquency are In the hands
of tho county attorney. It Is of the ut
most importance, therefore, that he. ffr
privacy as possible In a proceeding which hls dtputy. be present and hear the evl
must (and should) be, open to any reput
able citizen of mature years, I arranged
to have the hearing that afternoon at a
tlmo when no persons other than those
concerned In the cases would be likely to
be present. The only persons notified of
the hearing wero tho girls, their parents,
tho parents of the boys, nnd oi.r cf
flcers. The reporters of the thr.o da'iy
papers, over on the alert to discover
whatever will make a "good story" and
especially watchful for things sensa
tional, In some way learned or guessed
that a hearing was to be had and wero
present In the court room. Besides these,
there were, I think, threo members of
the bar present as counsel. If thero wero
any other persons In attendance they
were there by chance. There were 3evun
girls and as they were mutually Involved
the cases were heard as one. The par
ents, attorneys and court officers together
mado up rather a numerous company,
but each one of them wat there right
fully and properly.
"The examination was conducted, as
usual, by tho deputy county attorney as
signed to duty In tho Juvenile court, Mr.
Noble, a young man of good Judgment,
of honorable principles and much Inter
ested In the work of the court, llo is
married and Is himself the father of a
little girl. The first step In any such
proceeding Is . to learn the truth. Until
we know the facts as fully as wo may,
we cannot know how to deal with a
situation. Moreover, tho law of the stats
as well as the law of God and the good
of society recognizes no difference be
tween man and woman, the boy and tjie
glil, In a matter In which both partlcl
pate. Indeed. I have always thought tho
greater duty and the larger reiponslbllity
i est upon the man and the boy to honor
nd to protect the girl and the woman.
"To ascertain, therefore, who alio LH
Involved In any particular delinquency,
as a participant or as contributing to
cause such delinquency, Is a jSart of tho
purpos of the hearings. Ifvothers are
Involved, their own wtlfur u well m
dence In the case ot tho child so that
he may determine whether the facts will
warrant his proceeding against tho adult.
And no better way has yet been devised
by which to discover tho truth than by
question and answer. The process may
be painful and distressing, but it Is neces
sary and wholesome. The examination
In these cases was necessarily long and
searching. It was not elthor cruel or
"gruelling, and there was no cross-examination.
It Is truo questions wero
asked and answered which would not be
permitted In a criminal case, but theso
are not criminal proceedings. Tho pro
cedure Is Informal, parental quite as
much as Judicial, and the end sought Is
correction, not punishment, Tho parentu
of the children were there, and tho
matron of our detention home and a
woman probation officer, to aid the Judge
by suggestions and advice.
"After the hearings the girls wero re
turned to Illvervlow Home to wnlt until
after the cases of the two boys could be
heard, and until It could be determined
what would be tho best course to take
with each ono under all the circum
stances. Tho character of Ulvervlcw
Home under the kindly and efficient
supervision of Mr. and Mrs. Thompson
Is too well known to you to require com
ment. "The hour was too late to hear the case
of the boys on that day, and owing to my
duties In connection with my equity
docket, It was' a day or two later before
I had time for them. Kor the same
reason as before, I heard these cases be
fore Saturday, and as before, no one was
notified of the hearing except those "In
terested. Tho hearlrg was no more pri
vate and no less so than In the case of
the girls. The boys were brought Into
the Juvenile court from Illvervlew Home,
where they had been placed temporarily,
Just as the girls were. At the closo of
the hearing, the facts having been
brought out fully, the boys were finally
disposed of.
"TU court Is not ut ui'limlted powers-
there are only a few things which may bo
done; n child may be placed on probation,
paroled to some one, temporarily detained
at Illvervlow, or placed In a stato Indus
trial school and maintained thcro at tho
exponBO of tho stato. Ono Important
thing to accomplish was tho breaking up
of tho group tho separation of tho Indi
vidual meiuhers so far ns pratlcablo and
tho placing them In environments whero
they should bo under strict discipline nnd
supervision. In the enso of tho boys
this was secured by their parents plac
ing them In schools npproved by tho court,
and In tho case of tho girls by placing
them, somo In schools, soino with cap
able relutlvps, somo with their own
mothers under a readjustment of condi
tions. AH remain under tho Jurisdiction
of the court and accoiiptalilo to It.
"In tho caso of one of the boys thero
was reason for special urgency on ac
count of the serious Illness of his mother
nnd ho was, thorcforc, brought to mo nt
my chambers on last Thursday morning
nnd, ns he admitted tho fncts with which
he was charged, the formal order In his
case was thereupon entered and he was
at onco taken away by his father and
placed in nn approved school.
"This, I bellevtf, covers tho facts ns I
know them. If thero Is anything kjIho
concerning which you desire Information,
I shall bo glad to respond to any Inquiry
from you. HOWARD KKNNBDY.
