The latter examined Daitt , in the county jail a week ago. Joslyn is also waiting a report from Dr. Benjamin Boshes, psuehiartrist at the department of public welfare, who. examined Dain at the same time Dt. Dulsky did. When these reports are received, » date will be arranged for either a. trial by jury or a hearing before the icourt. whichever is decided upon at the time.

Allen pleaded guilty, through his ^attorney J. J. McCauley, to the charge. V Attorney McCauley was appointed by, the court to defend Allen when C.: Russell Allen of Cary withdrew from the case.

Attorney McCauley asked time to prepare a ppition to file in. behalf of Allen asking that he be placed on probation. Judge Pierce said he would allow the Harvard lawyer such time but that it would do no good because he would deny same after learning that Allen was in on the plan to escape jail. Judge Pierce said jails were fcuilt to house criminals and not to ' be torn down by inmates of same. Judge Pierce said he would hear argument on the petition on Wednesday before he passed sentence on the youth.
