Last evening the police officers had

in this city during the past few months
He said that they had made their rem

beside RI +. Clark's feed store on Pros
pect street. He took the officers 70 the
barn and they found a pile Of snavings
there. whore the boy said they had slept
several nights and buried up in the shay
ings a biz and bitstock. small knife and
a lantern were found These things,
the boy said, they bad used IN making
their breaks
The bit and bitstock, he said. had heen
used when they attempted to break into
the fve-nnd ten-cent store. Galray said
that they went to the rear Of the store
about 1880 o'clock on Saturday night,
and while be kept watch at the end Of
the building on Keith avenue, Raymo
bored holes through the rear door Of
the store with the bit making a hole

to turn the lock on the inside; but il
so happened tnat they lock worked with
key and the key wasn't there, and
they gave UP trying 70 get ~. Raymo

actions ii connection with these breaks
shows tnat he was evidently trying 70
initiate the heroes IN the stories he had

he was with Raymo, but he said Raymo

from Bugbee's shop off Summer street.
The lantern, the boy said, they stole
from the street department Of the city,
which mad been left out for a signal on
some street The hoys used the lantern
in the barn to see to divide mp their
spoils. The knife which was found on
tie shavings was used to cut the putty
away from the window glass on some
Of their breaks
The officers feel considerably worked
up over tne fact that Raymo did not
receive a heavier sentence, as everything
connected with tho case shows that he
was the ringleader and made all the
plans and got the Galray boy to 60 in
with him. Raymo. being nearly two
years older than Galray, really got a
lighter sentence, as both were sentenced
for the remainder Of their minority,
which is five years Tor Galray and three
for Raymo.
