Charles Arviso Given Benefit of Doubt
in Regard to Age and Is Sent
to Reform School

SANTA ANA, Dec 1O.-Charles Ar
viso, who was recently arrested on the
charge cf stealing money and a re-
Volver from his employer Henry Sci
del of the Gem meat market. was
taken to the Whittier reform school
yesterday, after a narrow escape from
the penitentiary.
His escape was due to the fact that
his parents declared in the superior
court that he was but Il years old in
stead of is years, as he had been
taken to be. Their testimony was not
very stable, as they were not entirely
sure of the date of the boys birth,
but made guess at it from the time
when they had moved to Mcpherson,
near here, in either 1889 or 1890. Judge
West gave the boy the benefit of the
doubt and sent him to Whittier.
The boy was q probationer having
some months ago forged his fathers
name to a check on the Orange County
Savings bank. 1t was on the forgery
charge the boy was committed to
Whittier, the recent charge of burg
larry being dropped. The probation
order was resCinded.
