STARTLING CONFESSION MADE
BY YOUNG BURGLAR ATHERT0N

Coming to Spokane, Bradley sold
the $50 worth of stun to the second
hand dealer for 81.
When the store was robbed about
100 pennies in the postoffice TIL were
taken and through this the case be-
comes federal matter.
After the money was spent Bradley
set out to turn another trick" This
time he left Atherton behind and
held up the Norden bar single handed.
So far Bradley has refused to con-
fess, but has amused the police by
Offering alleged Hypothetical cases Of
robberies he knows of I'm which he
cunningly tells his own experience.
Atherton will be held until after
the arraignment of Bradley before
Judge Hinkle this afternoon and then
will be turned over to the federal
authorities to be tried. Owing to
the fact that the police have .
stronger case against Bradley for the
holdup with a certain conviction and
a long term the federal authorities
have agreed to have that case pushed
against him.
