HW Mr. Padilla 12-2-15

A.

According to neighborhood legend, when the younger Radley boy was in his teens he … with some of the Cunninghams …formed the nearest thing to a gang ever seen in Maycomb. They did little, but enough…they hung around the barbershop; they rode the bus to Abbottsville on Sundays and went to the picture show; they attended dances at the county’s riverside …they experimented with…whiskey. Nobody in Maycomb had nerve enough to tell Mr. Radley that his boy was in with the wrong crowd.

One night… the boys backed around the square .. resisted arrest by Maycomb’s ancient beadle, Mr. Conner, and locked him in the courthouse outhouse. The town decided something had to be done; Mr. Conner said he knew who each and every one of them was…so the boys came before the …judge on charges of disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, assault.. and using abusive and profane language… The judge decided to send the boys to the state industrial school… it was no prison and it was no disgrace. Mr. Radley thought it was. If the judge released Arthur, Mr. Radley would see to it that Arthur gave no further trouble. Knowing that Mr. Radley’s word was his bond, the judge was glad to do so.
