had been arrested at State aud WASH
InEton streets.
Garland told the police ne was the
son of Augustus III. Garland. former
United States attorney general. His ac-
tions had aroused the suspicious OF two
detectives. and when they searched
him they found a piece of stone
wrapped In "A stocking concealed under
his coat. He had been lingering near n
large jewelry store Tor several hours.
When taken to the central station he
made the following confession:
II simply was down and out. and L
had hunted for work without success.
Then I read I'm the papers OF the easy
way In which holdup men had smashed
jewelry store windows and got away
with the goods and decided that would
turn robber.'
When the police went TO Garland's
rooms 10 search them. they found sew
cral unfinished stories. which evidently
he was preparing for a magazine. A
college diploma also was found IN the
roon.

-esult OF tn" work OF squadron OF de-
,eCtlycs detailed TO guard the Jewelry
