HELD IN DEFAULT OF BAIL
WARD PLEADS GUILTY TO THE
CHARGE OF HOUSEKEEPING.
Other Offenses of a Similar Nature
Laid at His Door-Says He
Wanted Money to Marry.

Marion F. Ward. the former Signal
Corps soldier, who told the authorities his
principal purpose in stealing was TO get
money enough to marry, was arraigned
before Judge Mullowny of the PoIice
Court this morning. charged with break
ing into the home of Samuel A. Jones, on
Ridge road, November and stealing prop
erty valued at ST.. Ward pleaded guilty
and was held in default of $1,000 bail for
the action of the grand jury
Besides the Jones case there are four
other charges of a similar nature against
Ward as the result of Investigations by
policemen of the seventh precinct. 1t is
alleged that Ward robbed the homes of
Arthur +. Plenkowsky; Weston avenue
and SD street; VIM. L. Brown. Wisconsin
avenue extended: Earl b. George, Pierce
near 9th street. In all it is charged that
Ward has stolen two hundred dollars
worth of property.
1t is said by the authorities that Ward S
method was to personate an insurance
agent going from house to house, and
when he found good opportunity he
would enter the premises through Win
dow or rear door and then help himself
1t is charged that he committed his crimes
only when he found a house temporarily
deserted.
Since his arrest by Policemen McLucas
and Scherer of the 9TH precinct it is de-
clared that Ward has made "a general
confession of the charges, and in one or
two instances assisted the authorities in
recovering small quantities of the stolen
property.
