COLLEGE BURGLAR
WITHHOlDS NAME
Roy T. Caller Refuses to Tell
Parents Names and Would
Rather Go to Jail

BERKELEY, Oct. 1T would
rather spend 20 years in the peniten-
tiary than have my family disgraced. "
declared Roy T.. Caller, aged 20 years,
said to be the scion of a wealthy st.
Louis family, who was arrested here
on a charge of burglary brought by
Nish & Mcneil, local haberdashers.
Caller maintains a discreet silence
and none of the detectives here has
been able to discover anything Of his
family except that he says he is from
st. Louis and is graduate of the
University of Missouri.
The police are inclined to believe
that Caller, who said he came to this
coast short time ago, is travelling
under a fictitious name. He appears
to be well educated and mis- employers
in the Western laundry and machine
company of San Francisco think
highly of him.
Young Caller, who has fine voice,
has been heard frequently in musicales
in the bay cities and has lately been
singing at an Oakland cafe. He
spent money freely and was unable to
live so elaborately on his salary as
clerk. He is know nto have borrowed
money from friends here and this as
sisted the police in making the arrest.
Caller employers are making an ef-
fort to have him admitted to proba-
tion on account of the fact that he is
a minor. The police, it is understood,
will not oppose this and some such ac-
tion will be taken when the case
comes up Wednesday morning.
