it is because attics already told them to leave boo radley alone so if they told the truth Mr Atkinson would have told attics . that's way dill said they played strip poker and that's how jem did not have pants.

The kids find out that Atticus had been aware of what happened the night Dill lied about Jem losing his pants playing strip poker when they are discussing the events of the previous night in Atticus' office. Atticus tells the kids that he knew the truth the entire time and that he was not fooled by Dill's lie. He goes on to explain his reasoning behind not telling them the truth that night. He says that he wanted to give them the opportunity to tell him the truth on their own and that he was not going to force them to admit the truth if they didn't want to. Atticus also says that he wanted them to learn from the experience and to understand the consequences of lying.Atticus' explanation reveals to the kids that he was aware of what really happened that night and that he was not fooled by Dill's lie. This shows the kids that Atticus is wise and that he trusts them to tell him the truth even when it is difficult to admit. It also teaches them to be honest and to accept responsibility for their actions.

Well, honey, Dill tells Scout and Jem that his father is the president of a railroad, but it turns out he's just a good-for-nothing man who doesn't pay much attention to him.
