   Complaint made before Frank F. Redman, Justice of the Peace. by Laura McKee 
of Braddock, mother of Albert G. Martz, born Dec. 3, 1889. Will not go to 
school, stays out at night, will not do anything I wish him to.  I am greatly 
worried by him starting fires in the neighborhood coal sheds and stables.  He 
is incorrigible.
   George C. Taylor of Braddock, truant officer, deposes that he cannot get 
Albert to go to school; he spends most of his time running the streets.
   John Howard of Braddock deposes that he is Ordinance Officer of the Borough 
of Braddock.  Knows that the boy stays out at night and has taken him home at 
ten o'clock at night, he claiming he was locked out, which was a lie, as the 
door was not locked.
