William RyIe, Jude Milton and
Jim Allen Charged With
Theft of Fish.
EVIDENCE Is DAMAGING.
VARIOUS HOUSES IN THE
NORTH END - HEARING DE-
LAYED TO MONDAY.

William Ryle, colored, Jude Milton,
Thursday evening by the police on
the charge of stealing the pond at
Reid Memorial hospital grounds. All
three men when arraigned in the city
court entered pleas of not guilty and
their cases were continued until next
Monday. Owing to the fact that the
lawmakers of this state carelessly
neglected to classify whether the
stealing Of body of water constitut-
ed grand larceny or petit larceny the
men were arraigned on the charge of
stealing fish from the pond, which is
regarded as petit larceny.
After their hearing Ryle, Allen and
Milton were put through the third
degree by the police in an effort to
secure confessions but all three men
refused to have anything to say The
police are confident that they have
arrested the guilty parties and state
that they have enough evidence to
convict them.
Evidence Damaging.
After stealing the fish Tuesday
night, the police state, Allen, Ryle
and Milton organized themselves in
to a fish market and distributing COM
pany. They peddled their wares in
various parts of the north end and
Wednesday noon many thrifty
housewife provided her lord and mas
ter with toothsome meal of fried
bass or trout. The police state that
they know of forty or more homes
that We're supplied with fish by the
pond thieves. They also state that
the purchasers of the fish all identi-
fly the three men under arrest as those
who sold the fish
May Have Been Benefit.
Health Officer Young was called to
the site of the late lamented hospital
pond TO inspect its sanitary condition
1t is evident that some people who
live in the vicinity of the hospital had
been in the habit of dumping all sorts
of refuse into the pond until it be-
came regular cess pool. Mr.. Young
is of the opinion that the fish thieves
conferred benefit on the commun-
ity in letting the water into the riy-
err. 1t is probable that hundreds of
fish escaped from the pond into the
river but if these uufortunates at
tempt TO exist in that part of the river
between the c. c. & l.. and the Main
street bridge, their lives will be short
and unhappy.
