when arraigned before Judge Mann
of the police court charged with
the theft of watch from Clark
Brown. He declared a third party
named Smith, whom he and Walter
Dunn, his friend, met on the way
here from Seattle, first took the
watch from Brown and that he got
it away from him, but as he denied
having 1t when Officer H. c. Rolf
was called into the case and it was
afterward found in his possession,
it looked bad for him.
The judge was impressed with
his story and continued the case
for one week to look up the young
prisoners standing in Seattle.
Thull claims to be supporting his
mother and several younger chill

freight trains from Seattle, and
Irene Hartman, the boys sweet
heart, brought his trunk here on
her ticket, according to the boys
story.
