Myers Robbery
Confessed By
Ex-Conyict

]. A. Lawrence, alias Car
michael, alleged by the police to
be the man who robbed the home
of w. S. Myers, 400 North Cove
ST., a week before Christmas, and
stole a watch and chain valued
at 500, after choking and NAL
treating 7-year-old Lulu Myers,
who assisted him to enter the
house, was arrested last night by
Patrolman Angus.
This morning Lawrence admit
ted the crime when the police
identified a chain found in his
possession as the one stolen from
the Myers home.
Lawrence is also alleged by the
police to have confessed to a
number of other North End rob-
berries. The police are question
ing him closely and expect to clear
up wholesale thefts which have
long puzzled the department.
According to Detective Captain
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1912-01-08

Darnell, Lawrence is a "two-tim-
er," having served a term in the
Walla Walla and Salem, Ore,
penitentiaries.
The valuable watch stolen
from Myers has not been recov-
cred.
Lawrence has confessed to eight
different 'burglaries in different
parts of Tacoma. One of those
committed was that of the John
son residence at Ruston, where
Lawrence gained entrance by
climbing a tree and crawling
through window. He took two
Christmas packages containing
silverware.
Lawrence is thoroughly penit-
ent as he knows he will have to
serve a life sentence. He said
that he intended to live a Chris
tian life from now on. He will
be tried under the habitual GRIM
inal law.
