While this is no place to go into the jail records for the 
entire county, it is interesting* to note that those people who 
are charged with the most serious crimes, as well as those who 
are arrested most frequently on such charges as intoxication 
and disturbing the peace, are not those persons listed as feeble- 
minded nor are they relatives of mental defectives. Many of 
them in their sober state are high-class workmen commanding 
good wages and never out of work except as a direct result of 
intoxication. 
The Juvenile Court Records 
Since its establishment in 1908, 142 cases have passed thru 
the hands of the Juvenile Court. Of these, 13 are on the list 
of County H. mental defectives, and 17 are related by ties of
