that his peculiar actions are the re
sult of an unbalanced mind.

after his mother had adjusted the
difficulties into which the boy had
become involved and after employ
ment had been found for him. How
ever, when he was taken home and
learned that one of the neighbor
children was ill, he immediately an
nounced that he could cure the little

a taxlcab and sped out to Riverside
where the boy was taken into custody
again.
