Three boy burglars-A. Cerrianteis, ].
Monterichara and NJ. Rosenstine-all of
tender years. were arrested last evening
by Officers Robl. Barry and GlIlen and de-
tanned pending an investigation at the
California street police station. The
youngsters, who were very systematic in
their labor as criminals, entered the con-
fectionery-store of Louis A. Grade, 539
Washington street, but before they sue

they were captured and, notwithstanding
their tears and pleadings, were placed be-
hind the bars.
Special Gillen, when passing the con-
feotionery- store about 8 o'clock, thought

informed Officers Robl and Barry. On
investigation the policemen found that
the door of vacant store adjoining the
confectionery esta blishment had been

surprised to find two OF the youthful
house breakers. On being questioned, the
boys said that they had entered the build.

little confessed that they had entered for
the purpose of gaining an entrance to the
candy-store, as they called it.
The ofhcers then went upstairs and
found window between the stores open
and rummaging around in the confection-
cry establishment third youthful
breaker was found. All the
papers in the office were strewn
over the floor, showing that the
boys had searched in vain for money after
satisfying themselves with candy Sew
eral boxes of candy were piled near at
hand, evidently by the boys, who un-
doubtedIy remem bered that an appetite
for confectionery does not long remain
appeased, and they wished to be ready
for any emergency. Their dream OF
future pleasure was rudely ended, how
ever, when they found themselves con-
ironted by the officers, and especially SO
when the doors of prison cell closed be-
hind them.
