STRANGE ACTION
LEADS TO ARREST

John Regan, a tall young man with
a gaunt face and long hair. was ar
raigned in City Court this morning IN
charge of vagrancy. Patrolman
Bowman arrested him yesterday after

the police station from Chief Just ce
Lores residence that a strange man
was there who appeared 10 be de-
mented
Regan had gone to the house TO ask
for something to cat and had walked
into the kitchen. His talk aroused
suspicion and It was thought best TO
notify the police. Regan has been a
telegraph operator, but for some time
he has been out Of employment, he
said. The matter probably preyed on
his mind. The police will have him
examined as to his sanity.
When his name was called i'm court
Regan stood up and asked If he would
be permitted to employ counsel. The
situation was explained to- the court
and Judge Cochran romanded him for

BRADLEY CASE
IS CONTINUED
Hea.in5 Of Young Man AC.
CuSed Of RObberieS Goes
Over Until Thursday
POLICE LAY MANY
THEFTS TO HIM

Neatly groomed and with a grave
man-of- the-world expression in his
face Lewis Bradley, the latest alleged
Rafles character to come to the atten-
tion Of the police. faced Judge Coch-
ran in City Court this morning. He is
TO answer charges of breaking and en-
tering, and according to a confession
which the police say he has made, sew
cral robberies of dwelling houses are
laid to him.
Bradley was represented in court by
William II. Cooper. Jr.. who asked for
a continuance Of the case until he had
time TO inquire into the facts. Brad
ley, the police say has confessed to
robbing several houses. He is but 10
years Of age is of medium height and
has a very pleasing face.
Bradley was arrested at midnight
Thursday by Patrolman Samuel Ford.
who found the young man in the shop
of John +. lie Carpenter, at No. 1907
Pennsylvania avenue.
According 10 the confession which
the police say young Bradley has made.
he has been engaged in the business of
robbing houses since last January. on
the eighth of that month, the police
say, the young man entered the house
of IL. ]. Ellis. No. S14 Van Buren street,
and stole $3.50 in cash, a gold watch
and a chain and gold charm. on
January 10 he robbed f. b. Baker s
house, southwest corner of Sixteenth
and Broome streets, and got SS in cash
and nine silver spoons. On January u
the house of Mrs. Henry Wenninger,
No. 1927 West Sixth street. was en-
tered and SIS in cash taken from a
sideboard. This robbery was made
during the daytime.
Other Alleged Robberies
on January 10, the police allege, he
entered the house Of William NJ
Truss, Of No. 9O9 West Seventh street
and on the same night visited Samuel
G. Truths home, at No. 915 West Sew
enth street and also the residence OF
Charles White, at No. T07 Adams
street. These three places visited
within one night returned no haul as
in each case, the police say, the young
man was frightened away.
Mr.. lie Carpenters shop was ars
visited by the young man on Angus
"a. when he took the contents Of the
pay telephone, shotgun and som'
tools. The second visit to the shoI
was made Thursday at shortly before
midnight and few minutes after tina
Patrolman Ford came along, saw there
was something wrong, and by thu
clever ruse already told of captured
young Bradley.
Bradley was unaffected in court thu
morning when he faced Judge Coch
ran. The police suspect that the younl
man is addicted to the use Of som'
kind of drugs. He is a smoker Of Gig
arettes.
Mr.. Cooper, the young mans counsel
asked that the case be continued unit
Thursday. Judge Cochran granted tn
request and a hearing will probably b.
given at that time.
