NO ARRESTS MADE
HrrCHCocK's CONFESSION NOT RE.
 GARDED BY POLICE.
Chief Rondeau Says that No Case Could Re Made Out on Word
 Self-COnfeased Crook.

Mobile, May 3.-(Special.) Contrary to expectations, no arrests were made today in connection with the confession of Sharp Hitchcock of. the robbery of the Sandoz Jewelry Company in De- cembcr last.
 Chief of Police Edward T. Rondeau, in conversation, stated this morning that he could not arrest anyone on the facts as stated by the boy in the con- fession, without any one verifying them. Besides, the Chief states that the boy Is self-confessed crook and he could not make any arrests on sus- picion, with only the word of a criminal to go by, He states, however, that if the county authorities, who have un- earthed the confessed robber, will swear out warrants against the people whom the boy names as being impli- cated in the crime he will arrest them.
 United States Postoffice Inspector E. L. Kincaid, who Is in the city to- day, in talking of the confessions of Hitchcock to robbing mail boxes, states that Hitchcock was first arrested by county, officials on a minor charge. but was later turned over to the Federal authorities on charge of forging postoffice money orders and opening United States mall boxes.
 Inspector Kincaid states that Hitch- cock was brought before the Govern ment authorities several days ago and confessed several charges of violating 6 United States Federal laws.
 Inspector Kincaid states that not un- til the Federal authorities are through with the boy will he be turned over to the State to answer the number of charges against him.
 Hitchcock is crazy,f in the opinion of Postoffice Inspector Kincaid, who has been working on his case. Others who know the boy believe this way. Even if he should De unbalanced, it is conceded that he Is a clever crook. AL though he has been weil-kept up with in the records of tho police court here, and has many times received small fines for petit offenses, he has been well-posted on thievery. It is said that one day while prisoner in the police station he told the police the Pollock building would be robbed that night. No attention was given to his statement, but the Pollock building was robbed that night exactly as the boy told the authorities.
