CONFESSES TO
ELEVEN THEFTS
PERRY PASSES BUSY DAY IN
VARIOUS COURTS
BOUND OVER TO SUPERIOR COURT
ON ONE CHARGE
Writes Complete History of His Mis-"
deeds, Ending with Quotation from
"Thanatopsis" - Desires to
Make Restitution

Robert J. Perry, the young song
writer held in the county JAN on
charges of stealing a number OF horses
and a motorcycle, was compelled TO
hustle yesterday to keep up with ms
offenses. He was arraigned in Justice
Ling's court early in the day on a
charge of stealing a horse and buggy
belonging to ]. Q. Adams of Pomona.
Then he went to Judge Davis de-
partment of the criminal court and
pleaded guilty to grand larceny for
stealing a motorcycle from c. A. Mllls
September 20. At 2 o'clock he was
back in the Justice court for pre-
liminary examination on the first
charge, and after listening to the tes-
timony against him made no defense
and was held to answer to the su-
perior court, his bond being fixed at
$1,000. He was taken to the county
jail and wound up the day with
complete confession of his misdeeds,
ending his statement with verse
from Bryant's "Thanatopsis."
Perry will again appear in Judge
navis' court Monday, when, 1t is eX-
pected, he will be sentenced on the
motorcycle theft charge.
Perry in making his confession pre-
faced it with an avowal of repentance
and a desire to make restitution.
This statement" he says, lis made
after mature deliberation, after hav-
ing resolved to begin a new life. hav-
ing laid my miserable conscience
stricken heart at the foot of the cross,
realizing that true Christianity begins
with confession of sins, repentance
and restitution. In appreciation of the
kindness of Sheriff Hammel and Dep
uty Sheriff Harry Wright l shall do all
in my power to assist them in recov-
ering everything l have stolen"
Says He Stole Eleven Rigs
Perry says he stole eleven rigs. Be
ginning a Christian llfe," he says, Il
pledge my word as such, and a lie
would be blasphemy. Eleven is cor
rect"
He went into detail concerning the
thefts and the manner in which he
disposed of the animals, buggies and
harness, placing harness taken from
one stable on horse stolen from an
other stable and hitching the animal
TO a buggy taken from still another
place, in this way puzzling the losers.
As near as possible Perry gave in
formation concerning the persons who
had purchased his stolen property. and
this information has materially aided
Sheriff Hammel and Deputy Wright in
locating the rigs, some of which have
been restored to their owners. Three
horses and buggles and three sets of
harness are still missing.
Perry in closing his confession says;
Il would consider it a favor if the
sheriff will make a list of every man
wronged and the amount due him in
money, as 1 expect an inheritance of
from $4,000 to $4,000. l hope to return
! to losers or their heirs, penny for
| penny. that my Saviour may say, He
! has done what he could to restore; let
him that is without sin cast the first
stone."
Perry stated most of his i'll gotten
money was spent in pool rooms or in
betting on baseball games.
