STOLE TO KEEP ALIVE
PLEA OF GERMAN YOUTH IN
POLICE COURT CONFESSION.
Was Trying to Go West to Escape
Detectives, But Gets Long
Sentence.

81 stole because / needed the necessities
of life and had no money. l was trying
to go west, away from this part of the
country, where detectives know me for
having served a prison term for stealing
in New York. L wanted to begin life over
again. 1 wouldn't have done this had !
not been forced to it,
This was the plea Of Paul c. Werner, a
German youth. i'm the Police Court today,
in explaining the reason for thirteen
charges of petty larceny lodged against
him. He pleaded guilty in all of the cases
and Judge Mullowny imposed sentences
aggregating twenty-six months in Jail.
One year OF the sentence is absolute and
the remaining in default TO fines totaling
$3.50.
Il was destitute a little over z year
ago. he said TO the court land l stole.
They gave me- eleven months in prison at
New York. and when I came out not long
ago l secured a good position in a Grand
street store. / was not there two weeks
until detective recognized me, and l was
discharged. 1 came here on my way west
to get away from these detectives, and
was forced to steal to keep alive.
Call Him Expert Thief.
Detectives Baur, Cornwell and Berman
explained to the court that Werner had
been in the city since April ID last and
bore the reputation of being an accom-
plished roomiEg-house thief. His method
was to rent quarters in a rOoming house.
and when an opportunity came he would
rifle several rooms of their vaiuables and
disappear.

The defendant was arrested on ID street

W stigation the thirteen charges were
filed. On account of the pleas of guilty

killed him. and then started on the war

They killed ali of the Americans in
