When Mayberry was arrested, yester-

today, ne admitted that his name is
really Dennis Mayberry.
Chief Of Police Dresser has fnvesti-
gated Mayberrys record and has
learned that the man originally lived
in Westbrooll and that lie was sent
to the state Reform School some
years ago. Mayberry escaped from
the State Reform School and was
later sent to Thomaston for a term
of two years by the late Judge Bon
ney after he had been found guilty of
stealing shoes from a freight car in
this city. After serving two years for
stealing shoes Mayberry received his
liberty, but about four years ago he
was sent to Thomaston once more,
having been found guilty of robbery
in kennebec county.
He was released from the State
prison, last March, and the police be-
lieve that Mayberry has been making
many breaks in this section of the
State during the past few weeks Ar
ticles taken from stores in Gorham
and Westbrook have been collected by
the police department and the police
are convinced that Mayberry has not
told all of his story.
Wher questioned, last evening, by
Asst. County Atty. Parsons Mayber-
ry said that he was willing to tell
all, but he did not mention the break
at Richmond. Chief Of Police Dress
er had A L. Small, the owner of the
store at Richmond, come to Port
land, this forenoon, and many arti-
eles taken from the Small store We're
placed in Chief Dresser's office. May
berry was taken from his cell to the
chiefs office and when questioned
about the Richmond robbery the
young man looked about the room.
We'll, what have you got to say?'
asked Chief Dresser.
II guess there is nothing to say
replied Mayberry, you seem to have
everything on me-
Many of the articles stolen from the
Small store at Richmond were in a
leather hand bag, which had been
stolen from the store and the articles
were easily recognized by the owner
of the store.
