GIVES VERDICT
nemusin
Jury Decides That the Boy
' ' Homicide Is a "Delin
quent Minor."
! The Juvenile court jury In the case
of Jackson Held, the 12-year-old boy
who killed George V. De Mars on Au
gust 4, returned a verdict yesterday
i afternoon declaring young Reld to be a
delinquent minor. The jury was out an
hour.
. This verdict came as a surprise, not
only to the defense, but also to the at
torneys representing the state, who had
virtually declated that thev did not
expect such a verdict. The defense
. had proven that young Reld, whn h6
; , nhot De Mara dead with a huge 45
callber revolver, thought he w.is !n
danger of his lift, or at leant . rinns
bodily Injury at the lianos in
furiated man.
It hid been prettv !: rl - proced that
f Mara was running to the attack
armed with an oar, and was about to
chastise, not the tog as the prosecution
claimed, but the boy.
Attorneys Idleman and Ksterley for
the defense confidently expected a ver
dict of aci"l'tal. and the best that the
state hoped for was a hung Jurv.
But the Jury evidently took other
things Into consideration, particularly
the Influences by which the boy is sur-

rounded at home, and concluded that no
hoy of 12 years has any right to be as
ii e to use a aeaaiy weapon as cnase
Jackson Reld had demonstrated himself
to be. The fact that the boy's step
father had Instructed him to shoot and
shoot to kill on at least one occasion,
if he were molested, was probably the
determining influence on the verdict..
Bchemp, the stepfather, when on th"'e
witness stand yesterday gave testimony
which will probably either send the boy
to the reform cohwil nr rAflult in hla
betng placed on trial In the circuit court
ror murder. Hchemp swore, as If It
were the most natural thing In the
world; that he himself had instructed
the boy to use the revolver If any man
miempiea to enter tne nouse.
"I told him to shoot, and shoot to
kill." Bald Schemp. "I told him he
must not wound a man, because the man
might stll be able to do him some In
jury. He must kill him."
Schemp added that he had given the
boy no Instructions in the use of the
gun which was kept where the boy
could get it at any time.
Other testimony as to the home sur
roundings of young Reld was of such
a nature that the Jury probably con
cluded he would be better off In the
reform school than at his home on
Uovernment Inland.
It Is nroh.ltll- that lh. ntHtiwl.
1 of the boy hims-lf had a good deal to
uo wnn tne vfrdlct. He exhibits no
remorse whatever for his act. seeming
ratherproud of what he has done and
carrying himself as a hero. An acqult-
in mown prune oiy nave confirmed him
n iiiin iniuua.
The attorneys representing the state
wtin wen- Dfputv District Attorneys
Moscssolin and Vreeland and special
lounne. jonn ii Stevenson, expressed
n-pret thut thTe is no statute under
which thi-v .-an prosecute Schemp. the
hoy's stepfather, whom they hold to be
mi- one really responsible for the trae
edy. rhey think It' was undoubtedly his
teachinKS and instructions that made
joung H'-j i so ready to tae a human
j 1 1 e.
J he verdict rendered carries with It
no punishment. It merely places the
imiv nnuer tne jurisdiction or the Juve
nile court as a delinquent bov." Judge
J;mtenb'i'i mav sentence him to the
reform school. (he thinks best, or
niy release him with a warning, or
may order mat the bov be thrashed bv
his mother, or may hold him to the
circuit court for trial under the Ir
illctment which , hargeg him with irar-
ucr in ine rirst degree.
The attorney for the defense moved
for a new trial, and this motion will be
argued thiB afternoon.
Charge Against Schemp.
A charge of contributing to the de
liniiuency of a minor child Is to be
placed against Charles H. Bchemp. the
stepfather of Chase Jackson Retd. A
statement, to that effect wa s made this
morning by leputy District Attorney
Mnsessohii, who said that he would him
self make the charge.
This becomes possible through the
verdict rendered yesterday by the Jury
in ma irmi oi young rteia ror oenn
quency through the killing of George F.
De Mars. Schemp testified yesterday
that he himself had Instructed the boy
to kill a man if he tried to enter the
house. Schemp's whole testimony was
such as to make it apparent that ihe
boy would probably never have thought
or snooting in oiars k it nad not been
for the teachings of hf. stepfather and
the general nature of his home sur
roundings. Contributing to the delinquency of a
minor child may under certain circum
stances become a serious offense, pun
ishable at the discretion of the court
with Imprisonment In the penitentiary.
