The two boy tramps, Frank Lockhardt
and Joseph Ladd, who were concerned in
the robbery of house in the Sixteenth
ward some months ago, were arraigned in
the Third District Court this afternoon, and
both entered pleas of guilty. 1t will be
remembered that after the boys were cap
tured, Ladd escaped from custody by throw
ing cayenne pepper into the eyes of his cap
tor, but was retaken when about to board
train at Beck's Hot Springs. On account
of the extreme youth of Lockhardt, sentence
in his case was suspended. Ladd was asked
to tell his story, and with fearful eyes he
related how he had departed from the paths
of virtue and dropped down pretty low.
The Judge considered Ladd's youth also,
and gave him the minimum punishment,
which is one year in the penitentiary.
