LATER DEVELOPMENTS IN THE cAsE-TwO MORE
WHITE BOYS IN THE aANa-THEY ARE ARRESTED
AND coNFEss-rHEY AND HUNTER SENT TO THE
REFORM scHooL-wHERE Is THE PLUNpER2
Last night was an eventful one in the history
OF Washington Cinnamon, and in many of the
laundries The Stars account of the shooting
Of BLACK Tom" was read by Lee Quong, to the
perfect satisfaction of the celestial residents.
Lee Quong held a reception and received the
congratulations Of many white citizens, as well
as his own countrymen. From the facts de-
veloped in the case il is safe to predict that
there will not be another Chinese laundry
robbed in this city for many months to come.
The Cinnamon compared notes last night and
twas learned that eight of their establishments
were robbed Sunday night. A singular thing
about the robberies is the fact that not single
victim of the burglars shows any sign Of anger,
but, on the contrary, they speak of the robbery
OF their places as though it was joke on them.
HAD THE BURGLAR MORE THAN ONE AccoMpLIcE?
Notwithstanding the declaration of the dying
burglar that Joe Hunter was the only person
who worked with him the latter still declares
that there was another white boy in the party
Policeman J. c. Daley, who investigated the
whose name was mentioned. What puzzles the
police is where the stolen money was placed
BLACK Tom" says he gave it to Hunter, but
the officer recovered less than 81 from him.
Whether third party acted as "fence" is not
known, but the officers have an idea that Joe
Hunter probably buried the missing treasure
TWO MORE WHITE BOYS IN TIE GANG.
This morning Lieut.. Heffner obtained infor-
nation that other boys were connected with
the operations of George Carter alias BLACK
Iom," and he sent Officer Daley out
to continue the investigation. The
officer returned to the station about noon with
two fourteen.year-old white boys under arrest
They were Harry Jeffries and Charles Saxty
These boys made full and open confession,
corroborating in part the confession made
by the Hunter boy. According to their
statements Joe Hunter was not in Lee Quong's
at the time OF the shooting, but had left BLACK
Tom" after he had committed several burgla~
ries. After Hunter went home these boys
say they continued on the rounds with
BLACK Tom" going to laundry near
9Th and & streets. Before getting in that
place they were frightened of. They after
ward went to Sam Lees place on ~ street,
southwest, and when they arrived ut Lee
Quong's the boys remained on the opposite
side OF the avenue until they heard the
shooting. Then they went home. The boys
deny that they got near as much money as the
Cinnamon report. According to their stories the
few pennies that were obtained were divided
between them and they spent their share.
THE THREE BOYS SENT TO THE RHToRM SCHOOL.
The three boys were taken to the Police
Court, where three informations for petit lar
ceny were filed against them. Judge Smell
plead guilty for the Hunter boy and the other
boys also plead guilty. Judge Miller sentenced
them to the reform school during minority.
This action will probably end the burglaries
and shooting 80 FAR as the courts are concerned.
Additional Railroad Facilities.
A committee consisting Of Gen. Urich, Capt.
Salisbury, Dr.. @. A. Max Wishl and Mr. NJ. E.
Church, representing residents along the line
OF the Washington and Ohio road, called on
Capt Green, the superintendent Of the Mid

and Ohio division which would come to Wash
ington early in the morning and leave about
$50 in the evening. Capt Green promised to
consider the matter carefully and il found
practicable to grant the request.
