An unciean and altogether wretchedly
looking little nine-year older pulled him
self up on the witness stand in the Po-
lice Court this morning, and made a
frank statement to the effect that he and
companion named Curtis, about the
same age, were put up to tapping the
till of e. Bloch & Co.'s store, at the cor
ner Of Eighth and Main, last Saturday
morning.
The boys who put up the job, accord
ing to the little rooster, are named Tim
Woods, aged ten; Ed. Brown, thirteen,
and Cornelius Kean, about fourteen;
and as Duffy and Curtis went for the
till, the other boys stood watch. When
little Duffy emerged from the store with
his ill-gotten gains, Woods pounced
upon him and took the money away
from him, and was in turn bounced by
Kean, who wanted the swag himself.
This raid netted the tender thieves
81 50 in money and two bottles OF whisky.
Thinking that they had "soft thing" ol
1t, three of the same gang returned to
the same place in the afternoon, where
they were arrested by Officer Higgins,
who had been posted as to now the rob-
berry was committed by the little Duffy
boy, who made a clean breast OF IL, and
gave his "pals" away. He was not ar
rested.
The other three, Woods, Brown ant
Kean, were sent to the Refuge by Judge
Lindemann this morning. AS clear cast
