PhilDps, and some Of Their
Plumber Recovered.


Six burglaries have already been traced
to the doors OF Chris Scott, aged Is. and
Charlie Philips, aged IS years. who were
captured by Harry Bayi.s while they were
bufg.arixirx his residence at 2ii2 Third
avenue Wednesday evening.
I. u evident that the clever young
thieves have either secreted q good por-
ton OF their iu-gotten gains or have been
operating through "fence." They claim
that they threw into the bay gold hunt
ting case watch. lady's necklace set with
diamonds, . ring set with one diamond
and two blue stones. last Tuesday, In or
der TO escape. as they imagined. arrest at
the hands OF Detective cudihee. They
said they were on the water front when
Cudihse appeared and that they were
afraid he was going TO take them In.
They had the jeweiry Oh their persona. 80.
rather than Be caught with evidence. they
threw everything away.
After a long series Of cross questions
the burglars told Chief Of Police Reed
that they had been living In room %. Pa
cific house. corner Of Washington street
and Occidental avenue. Sergeant Temple

room and found . miscellaneous lot OF

This list includes only q portion Of tho

said that the actual value OF the remain

IL IL probable that Scott and Philips
VIII be arraiwned before Justice Neil
vain this afternoon. This action Is con-
tsngent on the fiiing OF the complaint.
Scott and Phillips are already figuring on
the sentence they will get.
II suppose we viii ne gray-headed be-
fore we get out remarked Phillips 70
Chief Reed yesterday afternoon.
II give Il up. RENTED the chief.
i, viii be noticed that the name OF Char
he Philips Is the same as that OF one of
tire detectives TIE truth OF the matter
Is that Scott and Philips know The names
OF every detective and most OF the officers
on the force. When Phillips name vas
asked, he looked up and replied Make II
Charlie Phillips" The detective was there.
so II ss easy 20 be seen rflat he dld not
give his own name. He was simply play
ing ,oke on the detective force by taking
the name Of one Of It's members Just as
the New York hohos ala when they gave
the names OF William Mckinley. Grover
Cleveland. etc.
Some people have the idea that because
these prisoners sre young. they canno,
know anything shout the art" % house

preach any horse II II IN occupied they
either ASK for Assistance or inquire fer
imaginary people.
