Last Night.
Two Of the freshest boys that the bluecoats
at police headquarters have seen for long time
were taken there last night by Policeman
Bernard Nevins of.the Elizabeth street station,
says the New York Herald today. They were
two Of three runaways from Washington, d. c.,
and one Of them is said to be guilty of forgery.
Capt. Creeden of the Mercer street station
was in charge at headquarters when they were
brought in. Veteran Sergt. O'Toole was at his
right and Policeman Brady Of the information
bureau at his left. When arraigned before
the captain the two boys presented a marked
contrast The elder and taller boy had n low
brow and dull but sly look. and while being
questioned he never smiled. The other was q
short, laughing-eyed boy Of apparently more
than average intelligence. Both were respecta-
bly, dressed.
''what is your name?' asked the sergeant of
the older boy.
James B. Garry, otherwise Frank Bayard,"
came the reply in a dime novel tone which at
once attracted attention among the loungers in
the building.
"where do you hve?"
"Where?"
YES"
ain Washington"
"What street,
1.-THE National Hotel"
'.Why, at No. 60 Pen nsylvania avenue. Every
body knows where that is. It's the biggest
hotel in the country. SeeI'
You don't say" smiled the sergeant.
Garry's companion gave the name of Carroll
ton Wright. He said he lived at No. $50 @
street northwest, Washington.
The boys were arrested in the Bowery, SAYS
the Herald, on general alarm sent out by the
police yesterday afternoon on the strength of
dispatch from the chief of police in Washing
ton asking that q search be made for three
youths, aged eighteen. sixteen and fifteen years,
respectively, who had run away from Washing
tor and come 10 New York. The dispatch said
that some one Of the boys had forged his fathers
name and obtained $50.
Nevins heard the alarm read at o'clock roll
call and a few minutes later, while standing at
Canal street and the Bowery the two bows ac-
costed him and asked him the way to the Penn
sylvaIia depot, saying they wanted to go to
Washington. He at once concluded they were
the runaways and arrested them.
When searched at headquarters Garry was
found to have a loaded revolver, a box of cart
ridges, box of patent collar buttons and a
brass baggage check from the Eagle Hotel. in
the Bowery. On Wright was found s24. 81 and a
big clasp knife.
Garry said in plying tone in response to
the sergeant's inquiries that until lately he had
been employed in the Agricultural Department
at o salary of $50 month. The sergeant said
he would put him down as a clerk.
The pair could give no account Of the third
boy. They said he left them to mail letter at
the post Office In the afternoon and they had
not seen him since. They were sent upstairs
to Matron Travers' nursery and will be held I'M
til advice concerning them arrives from Wash
ington. The Gerry society was notified.
The runaway boys were sent for today. It ia
said that no charge has been made against the
