FIVE YOUNG ROGUEs
PILFER RALEIGH STORES
They Are White Boys and Their Ages Are
From to l6.

AS the result of reading blood and
thunder novels of the Jesse James type,
five white boys, ranging in age from
eight to sixteen are now under arrest in
Raleigh. charged with entering stores
and stealing money and goods from
them.
The boys are Claude Kimball. age 8;
Clarence kimball, age IL; Ira Kimbali,
age Il; Fred Crowell, age a. and Her
bert Crowell, age 16. They will all be
put on trial this morning before Mayor
Powell, but yesterday afternoon each OF
the boys admitted to having taken part
in severa! small robberies.
The detection of the young gang or
criminals is due to Mr. Fred Woolcott
Monday night at about $50 o'clock, as
he passed the Baptist Book Store, he
saw some one move in the back of the
store He peered into the store and saw
a little fellow get out the back door
Running around to the back of the
store he saw two boys getting into the
next building, and later discovered them
hiding money in a hole above their
bed.
Yesterday morning the two boys,
Claude anG Ira Kimball were arrested
and the Crowell boys, who were also
arrested Ira Kimball has gone no
boing" as far west as Kansas City and
is the jockey who rides Mr.. Ed " Den
toms MY Vic" Hubert Crowell is the
office boy for Messrs Hinsdale and
Lawrence at S1.25 week, while Fred
Crowell does similar work for Mr.. Armi-
stead Jones at $100 a week.
L. Nf 1,o
boys Yesterday afternoon and develop
ments show that they formed young
pilfering society, led by Ira Kimball
and that they had pledged, in dime
novel style, not to tell on each other.
The boys, each of them, have con-
fessed to various thefts from Dobbin and
Ferrall, Baptist Book Store and Roy
sters Entrance to Dobbin & Ferrals
was gained through the skylight, the
boys going UP through a building and
working downward from the roof
In getting into the Baptist Book Store
brick was thrown through transom
and Claude climbed through.
Various amounts have been missed
from Dobbn and Ferrall's, one robbery
of last May going up to SAL. The boys
deny that they got this but suspicion
points to Ira Kimball, as about this
time he went west. He says he dor
rowed" pass from man named Peter
son. however. AT the Baptist Book
Store 1910 was stolen and S7.20 has been
recovered. The smallest theft was thir-
teen cents. While at times collars, sus-
penders and stockings were taken
Ira Kimball is the coolest of the lot
and appears thoroughly hardened.
ing about unconcernedly and carelessly
about how he stole articles. He, as we'll
as the others, say that they got their
ideas from the dime novels they read.
A favorte sport for Ira last summer
was under a tree on the lawn back of
the postoffice, where he read novels.
The robberies have been going on reg
ularly for a month past, on Sundays,
and the young rogues have had plenty
of change. The case is a sad one and
shows how very badly a reformatory is
needed in North Carolina.
