89. Said probation officers shall be known as "Probation Officers for
Delinquent and Dependent Children." They shall be at all times subject
to the orders and directions and shall be under the supervision of the
appointing magistrate. In the execution of their office they shall be vested
with all the privileges and authority of constables. In any proceeding
before any magistrate for juvenile causes involving a hearing, trial, deten-
tion, the custody or commitment of any minor, one or more of the pro-
bation officers provided for aforesaid shall make such investigation and
make return thereof as may be required by said magistrate and shall exe-
cute such further orders or directions as such magistrate may from time
to time require. The probation officers herein provided for shall have
the power to bring any minor or minors who may be on probation as afore-
said before the juvenile court by a process of warrant duly sworn to,
charging him or them with violation of the terms or conditions of their
probation, or by subpoena directed to them for further proceedings, and
when such action is taken the magistrate aforesaid may continue the pro-
ceeding and finally dispose of the same as fully as could have been done
had there been no suspension of sentence or proceedings in the first place;
provided, however, that in any case where full trial or hearing has not been
held and the charge of crime has not been fully shown, sustained or deter-
mined before suspension of sentence or further proceedings the magistrate
shall hold the case under consideration before sentence is passed or a final
disposition of the case is made. The magistrate aforesaid shall have the
authority to extend the term of probation for any time and such addi-
tional period as may be deemed proper and may attach thereto the same
or additional terms and conditions as were originally attached or may
at any time dismiss the probationer and the proceedings in which sentence
or further proceedings were originally suspended.

1931, ch. 323, sec. 88.

fere with any probation officer for delinquent and dependent children in
the proper discharge of his or her duties, or may interfere with any person
or persons in whose custody any minor may be placed as aforesaid or who
may interfere with or attempt in any manner to entice any minor from
such custody shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction thereof
shall be fined not less than five nor more than fifty dollars for each offense.
