Clarence Adams and Leo Cuyler were tried by the District Court though they were suitable for juvenile court. The Enterprise erred in saying Judge Wallis committed them. Justice Preble was instructed by the district attorney to commit them to the higher court for trial. A juvenile sentence might have spared future reflection on their characters if reform at the reform school succeeds.
