SERIOUS CHARGE
AGAINST A BOY
Escaped From Reformatory, but
Won't Return Without
Requisition Papers.

Charles Williams, white boy
fifteen years of age. was arrested yes
tcrday afternoon by Detective L. l.
Krcngel. and charged with having
escaped from the Republic Guardia n
Association of Maryland Being less
than seventeen years of age, the boy
was sent to Mrs. Cleary, COZ West
Broad street until such time as he
could be delivered to the Maryland
authorities. Mrs. Cleary having been
designated as temporarily matron to
take charge of juvenile delinquents
until a permanent place could be de-
cided upon.
Last night 1t was learned that the
Williams boy was accused in his ma
tive state on a serious charge and
that he would refuse to return to
Maryland without requisition papers.
Captain of Detectives Mcmahon COM
municated with Chief of Police
Werner asking that he be placed in
that he might get away from Mrs.
Cleary. Major Werner stated that on
account of his age the boy could not
be removed, and Mrs. Cleary, who
was then acquainted with the facts in
the case. said that she would watch
him all night and deliver him to the
officers this morning.
1t Is understood that Williams is
one of the worst of the inmates of
the Maryland institution, which in its
work is similar to the Laurel Re-
formatory in this state. and that this
is the third time he has succeeded in
making his escape. When she Is
turned over to the officers this morn
