complete, Lambert, went to the depot
and purchased two tickets for Gnf-

) 40 train and returned on the 7;9s.
What their idea was they were I'M
able to explain.
The purse and about $3.50 of The
money was recovered. In police
court Friday morning The boys were
too badly scared togive any explana-
ton of their actions. The ra1yor

sent them to Jail until he consults
their parents as to whether or not
