Eight year old Clarence Taylor told Judge DeLacy a harsh life story of being abandoned by his mother and father and forced into begging and petty theft from age three. He described being taught theft by guardians in Washington and St Louis then West Virginia, found in a cave hideout, beaten and starved, and finally caught while snatching a pocketbook on a street corner.
