Justice Crutchficld regarded three
youthful culprits severely from the
bench OF the police court Friday. He
seemed on the point of sentencing
them for life when the police declared
that they were three very bad boys
and had gone straight from an en-
tertainment in the Y. NJ. c. a. 10

The trio were very repentant Young
Irving Dawes shed tears as he gazed

Campbell looked resigned and War
wick Thomas as If all hope had fled.
The two latter are aged fourteen.
Dawes Is only thirteen.
According TO the story told in court
the three boys went to the Y, VI, G. a.
10 see a moving picture entertainment.
depicting religious scenes. This was
not sufficiently exciting. They wanted
action; pictures of bold bad burglars
and hoid-ups and other scenes taken
from the pages of cheap literature.
The " NJ. c. A. entertainment did
not appeal 10 them. They left The
building and started toward Main
street. Then brilliant idea occurred
to young Campbell. according to the
other boys. He proposed that they
burglarize the Bell Book and Station
cry Company's store and with the pro-
ceeds OF the loot go see real live NOV
ing picture shows. The suggestion
was acted upon but the loot was small.
1t consisted mainly Of a few fountain
pens and pocket knives. The money
they realized was small.
Detectives Arrest Boys.
Detectives Wiley and Kellam traced
the burglary to the boys and they
were arrested at their homes. Camp
bell lives with hts mother at $40 East
Leigh street. Dawes lives at 500
North Eighth and Thomas at 10 West
Cary street.
The fathers of the two latter boys
were In court Friday. and so was
the mother OF young Campbell. She
was plainly distressed. The Rev. Mr..
Morris. OF the Monumental church,
was present to plead for the boys
Gilbert Pollock also spoke for them

said Mr.. Pollock. Two of them, at

like this" replied the court, MY

The boys began to look terrified.
Mrs. Campbell was pathetically down.

continued the case to March 80.
which meant that the boys are prac-
tioally placed on probation.
