CARS. cigarettes and razors from the West
x Burke barber shop Feb. 2. This
made a dozen or more burglaries which
had been committed in Rutland within
the last month or six weeks without any

cleared up Feb. by the arrest of Herman
Lavanture, aged 20, and David Sherman,
aged 10. large quantity of stolen
pipes and tobacco were found in the pos
session of the boys. Layenture was
sentenced to the house Of correction for
not less than two or more than three
years and Sherman not less than three or
more than five in the state prison at
Windsor for burglary. They confessed
to being implicated in a series OF burg
laries covering two years. Sherman has
already served a sentence in the house Of
correction and Laventure has a court
record. The officers visited the boys
homes and found the plumber hidden un-
der floor in the garrett Of the Sherman
house. There was also an electric search

vas really responsible for the arrest, as
he went to the barber shop where they
made their last haul and told them not to
feel blue as they would get some Of their
razors back.
