Officer McLsndon found Albert Smith.
13 years Of age, who claims to reside on
Monument street, in Boston, yesterday,
near the slaughter houses at the head OF
Smithfeld avenue, feeling about as bad
as was possible for lad OF his years TO
feel when such lad had slep. out all
night, was hungry and had been mesnly
treated by companions. He took the boy
to the Second Police Station, where he
was kindly treated and given something
TO eat. The story told Dy Smith is that
with twoI other boys whose names were
Sullivan and Devine, aged IA and Is years,
he started to walk TO this city; that when
he and his two chums got about one half
the distance between the two places one
OF the boys who had some money pur-
chased tickets for the three and they rode
to this city. When they arrived here his
two young friends gave Smith the slip
and as he had no money and night was
coming on he did not know what TO do.
Afraid 10 go TO a police station, he claims
TO have slept in doorway the previous
night and said he felt pretty cold before
morning. Smith said he lived with his
grandmother, both his parents being dead,
and bad comfortable home but that
the other boys induced him to 60 with
them and see the world.
Smith was taken by Captain Baker to
Overseer Cummings sent word to the boys
relatives in Boston, but up TO this noon
no word had been received from them.
The boy will remain at the charity build
ing until his yarn is proven true or false.
