IS NOT A GOOD SPLINTER
Otherwise Dennis Barrett
Might Have Worn New
Clothes Today.

Dennis Barrett. resident of Essex
court. was dressed in a new suit of
clothes. new shoes, new undergarments
and a new hat last night for a few min
utes His failure to settle for the outfit
resulted in his arrest and detention at
the sixth precinct police station.

shown a suit of clothes. He was not
long in getting what he wanted. Then
he asked to be shown undergarments. 1t
was an easy matter for him to go to the
rear of the store and put them on.
Hat and Socks Next.
Barrett thought he needed socks to
match his suit and he told the dealer also
he would not be satisfied until he got a
hat, thinking his old chapeau and new
suit would not present an attractive ap-
pearance when viewed together. When
Barrett was logged out from head to
foot he complimented the dealer upon the
excellence of his stock and asked the
amount of his bill.
WaSco suspected nothing, but as soon
as his back was turned Barrett did the
disappearing act. He was not good

of Catch him. overlook Barrett and
sent him to the station.
Merely Joke, he Thought.
At the police station Barrett did not
seem to realize the seriousness of the sit
uation. He looked upon the affair more
as joke than anything else, but when
Wasco appeared with the old clothing he
had left behind him when he ran from
the store the affair took ON another
aspect.
And can't I wear these good clothes
any longer?' he asked.
He was told he could not. Slowly he
removed the clothes he had not paid for,
put on his old garments and was soon
asleep. Tomorrow morning he will tell
Judge Aukam in the Police Court how
1t all happened.

GEORGE MOy IS MISSED

Officers and Clerks Liked
Youngster Who Kept Things

Officers and clerks at the house of
detention sat about in the office and
sergeant's room wearing depressed looks
last night. There was something miss
ing at the institution, the voice of a child.

ing trial on a charge of theft which, she
says. she did not commit. and 1t was

Little George the brightest and most
responsive child that had been cared for
at the place during the existence of the
institution. ii Is said, was able to stand
and push himself about the rooms holding

those who noticed him. and te officials
say nobody ever passed him without

Of causing the death of the feline mascot
at the institution.
1t was when the cats loud cries rang
through the house that attention was
directed toward the little boy who had
frightened the institution and made it
pleasant for both officers and prisoners.
The officer who went to make an investi-
cation found the son of the Chinese man
and American woman holding the cat
about it's neck. He probably thought he
was caressing pussy. while in reality the
cat was almost strangled
Mrs Moys case was finally called for
trial in the Juvenile Court, being called
there because the wife of the Chinaman
is a mere child. her age being sixteen
years. She demanded a jury trial and
was released on bond, and she no longer
had to remain as a guest of the District.

1t is our purpose to tell

our customers, what we
have to offer our custom

strength Of our lines and our
management, the patronage
of discriminating buyers
and automobile owners in
Richmond and the State OF

We want you to have an
opportunity to know us bet

to say that our business
