Through the efforts of Constable Throck
morton, Norman Gaines, colored, aged II
years, of Mount Holly, was located in
Philadelphia, on Tuesday and arrested by
the authorities there. The young man
will be tried by the Burlington county
authorities at the September term of court
on serious charge. Norman has been
living on West Washington street with
his grandfather, Isaac Gaines. from whom
two burglaries netted him about 800
taken in installments of $50 and $40
each. The cash, it is alleged, was
secured by forcing an entrance into the
house and breaking open a trunk, in
which the hard earned money had been
stored away for safe keeping. After the
first robbery Norman ran away and the
matter was dropped, Isaac being glad to
get rid of the boy. On Sunday, August
20, while Isaac was attending church,
Norman came to town and burglarized the
house. This was more than Isaac could
stand, and complaint was made. Norman
is a very bad boy, and will probably pay
for his crime by term in state prison. He
served term in the Reformatory for steal
ing sum of money from the residence of
Robert Street.
