Philadelphia, April Am amaz-
ing story of alleged dishonesty in the
police department of this city was
told today by Harry Rothenberger
aged nineteen years, who was ar
rested charged with larceny The
youth made a confession in which he
says he was aided and abetted in a
number of robberies in the wholesale
district of the city by four police
men. These policemen, John Kelly, G.
NJ. Leckenbill Albert Il. Sithens and
John w. Strab, were arrested and
probably will be given "a hearing TO-
morrow.
Rothenberger said he was the tool
of the policemen who made it easy for
him to commit robberies.
Most of the time" he said, II
would meet the policemen in front of
the places and they would let me in
the door. One of them would stand
watch outside while | got the stuff,
and | would carry 1t out to cart and
take it away
1t was announced late today that
two of the accused policemen had
made confessions of their completely
in the robberies. While admitting
their guilt they did not incriminate
the other policemen,
