The article which appeard in this
paper yesterday rejecting on Justice FL.
I'll. Rose made several statements which
have been investigated by the HERALD
representative, who finds that the facts
are as follows: For some time past a
gang of youthful thieves, eight in num-
Der, has been stealing chickens, lap
rob,s, whips, candy, cigars, etc. Rob-
ert Hestin and Sam Seaman, the boy 8
referred to as having been sentenced to
the boys and girls home at San Fran
cisco, were the leaders OF the gang. JUS
tice Roses docket shows that on Janu-
ary 22d, Fred Meeks and Ed. Snyder
were arrested ON and pleaded guilty to
the charge of stealing figs from B.
Dennis. On January 23d Sam Seamans
and Robert Hestin pleaded guilty to
breaking into Chappell's fruit stand and
stealing candy and cigars. Sentence
WAS suspended as to Hestin and Sea-
mans was sent to the reform school
with the consent of his parents.
On January oath Hestin and
Meeks were again arrested for
stealing chickens from Mrs. Dexter.
Meeks was fined $40, and Hestin sent to
che reform school, his parents agreeing
to it. On January 26th Fred Meeks, M.
Salcedo and w. Turner plead guilty to
stealing whips, and sentence was sus-
pended. There is yet another case
which has not been fully investigated.
This record shows that Justice Rose has |
been remarkably lenient with the boys |
concerned. In the case OF Seamans, his |
parents desired that he be sent to the |
reform school, and it was not until Hes
tin had been arrested a second time
chat the justice sent him to the same
place, his parents also giving their con-
sent. This action was taken chiefly in
the hope of breaking up the gang and
giving the other boys, who are younger,
