CHARGE OF
BURGLARY
PERCY ALLEN AND ARTHUR FER.
GUSON TAKEN BY POLICE IN
ACT OF ENTERING STORE.
Admitted They Had Intended Robbing
Peabody's and Were Caught by
Police as They Were Making Way
Through SkyIieht to the Build
ins-Are in County Jail.

Percy Allen, 10 years old, and Arthur
Ferguson, II years old, were arrested
at midnight last night by Policemen
Bateman, Negus and Matheson in the
act of burglarizing the A. S. Peabody
company's store, and are now in the
county Jail, awaiting arraignment on
the charge of burglary, which will be
preferred Monday. The boys admitted
that they were after money and in
tended to get it if they could in the
store.
Officer Bateman, who lives in the
Balsh block, adjoining the Peabody
company's building, heard the sound
of breaking glass about midnight. He
made a search for the locality of the
sound, but, having no light, could see
no one. He hunted up Messrs. Negus
and Matheson, on duty at night, and
with the aid of their electric search
lights succeeded in locating the
young men at a skylight on the roof
of the building. The boys were in
side, but one of them had one leg
outside, n this the officers saw.
They had broken the glass and had a
rope with which to descend to the
floor and rob the cash register and
money drawers.
The boys have been under suspicion
for some time, and about a month ago
Marshal Sigman "sweated" them for a
Job" he believed them guilty of, but
he could get not enough evidence to
convict, and SO let them go. Young
Allen is said to have served a term
in the reform school, and both have
been more than once warned by the
officers. The relatives OF young Allen
declared this morning they could do
nothing with him.

New Theory Of Crime.

Mrs. l.. S. Bartlett OF this city is

the girl afterwards. She says Smith
was a very nice young man when She

was not always above suspicion. HIS
wife was also an actress.
A press dispatch dated yesterday
says of the latest phase of the Pat

to undergo trial for conspiracy with
J. Morgan Smith, her brother in-law,

District Attorney Jerome has an en-
tirely e theory of the crime. He
will allege that Mrs. Smith demanded
money OF Young just before Young
was killed. He expects to show a con
spiracy involving Nan Patterson and
the Smiths, ending in murder by the
show girl. The district attorneys Of

of murder in the first degree and
should receive the death sentence.
The grand jury has indicted Smith
and his wife, Julia, who were arrested
in Cincinnati yesterday, and Nan Pat
terson, charging them jointly with O n
spiracy. The indictments are based
on a letter alleged 10 have been writ
