DICK HURLEY GETS
BURGLARS, WHO
CONFESSED
Two l7-Year-0ld Boys Made the
Local Breaks.
AT BOTH MYERS AN ] J0SEPH'S
Hard Work of Officer Hurley Landed
Patnode and Stevens Who Are
Sent to State Prison

Leroy A. Patnode and Efford #.
Stevens, both II years Of age, were
this morning convicted OF burglary
and sentenced by Municipal Judge f.
H. Holden to the state prison at
Windsor. Patnode is to serve not
less than three or more than five
years. Stevens sentence was for
not less than two or more than five
years.
The boys pleaded guilty to two of
fences of burglary. The first was
committed on the night of December
80 at the store of II. Joseph on Brad
ford street. The second break was
at the Office of II. w. Myers & Son,
who conduct coal. wod and agricul.
tural supply business at the foot on
School street and occurred on the
night of January 81.
The boys were arrested Monday
aftc noon by Officer Richard Hurley
and Deputy Sheriff Perry B. Gardner
Officer Hurley had been at work on
the Joseph Burglary for several
weeks. He had suspected the two
boys from the first and his suspicious
were strengthened by information
which he obtained from Conductor
John II. Shanahan who runs on one
Of the through cars between this VII
lage and Hoosick Falls. From Cen
Guctor Shanahan he learned that the
two boys took trip to Hoosick Falls
Immediately following the break at
Jcseph's store and that they disclos-
ed an unusually large supply of
nickles when they paid their fare.
They also each had a rife.
VIXEN the second burglary was
committed officer Hurley laid his
evidence before the states attorney
and the two boys were at once arrest
cd. As soon as the suspects had been
rounded up officer Hurley and Depu-
ty Sheriff Gardner secured warrants
and searched the boys homes. Ar
ticels taken from the Joseph store
we're found among the boys posses
sions and their guilt was practically
established.
States Attorney w. j. Meaghe.,

one of the best pieces of detective
work that has been carried out in Ben
nington in number of years and the
most of the credit belongs to Officer
Hurley.
In court this morning States At
torney Meagher gave detailed
statement OF this course in bringing
about the confessions. He stated
that If any leniency were shown II
should, in his opinion, be in the case
of the Stevens boy who had appeared
to realize the seriousness of his pre-
dictament. The state5s attorney said
that he had endeavored to induce the
Patnode boy to tell how he had dis
posed of the $40 gold piece but with
out result.
The Stevens boys father was in
court this morning and seemed to
realize the hopelessness of attempt
inc to keep his son in the right. path.
Both boys have criminal records,
having served terms at the industrial
school for breaking into the store at
the corner of Depot and River
streets. The Pstnode boy is at the
present time on probation.

the charges will be intrusted to the

be taken and a decision reported.
This action followed a conference
at the department of commerce on a
report from r. +. Tapley, the depa t.

The secretary announced that evil

added, however, that it would be
quite improper to pass upon that
question at this time, further than to
decide that there is sufficient evil

ferced against Capt. Berry and that
the question of his innocence or guilt
be made the subject of further inves.

THE MoNTEssoRi METHOD,
interesting Letter From Miss Laura
ROGERS

Rogers
The feature of the Fortnightly meet
ing Saturday was a letter from Miss
Laura Rogers who saw Madame
Montessori when she was in Boston
recently. Miss Rogers letter is as
follows:
On December 18th 1913, Madame
Montessori gave two lectures in Bos-
ton, one in the morning and one in
the evening. She spoke in fremont
Temple, in the auditorium which is
an astonishing compromise between
a church and a theatre, and the place
most favored by the high class lee
turer.
Weeks before the Boston papers
had announced her coming, and popu-
lar accounts of her method had ap.
peared, but there was no extensive
adve 'tising.
Women in and about Boston quiet
ly decided to hear Madame Monies
sori Saturday morning and while they
were about it to do a little shopping
before the lecture which was to be at
eleven o'clock. Consequently at pre-
cisely FIVE minutes of eleven the lady
shopper emerged from West street or
Bromheld street, or walked up from
the Park street subway, rejecting
that on the whole il would be better
to take a seat on the floor well TO the

balcony. But fremont street was
strangely crowded. and there was an
actual congestion in front OF fremont
Temple. Gradually il dawned upon
the lady from bingham o. Allston or
Gainsborough street that two or three
thousand other ladies had acted upon
the very same plan.
In a word a crowd was besieeing
fremont Temple. an orderly well bred
crowd that considered and apologized
the policeman merely made sugges-
tions for conduct. Presently the wo-d
came that there was standing room
only. then il was announced that the
hall was filed to its capacity. and
six OF seven hundred women turned
back down fremont street. all ex-
planning that they had thought that
only school teachers would be there
In the evening the audience was no

before the lecture began the han was

Officer Hurley, Deputy Gardner and
Chief of Police Brazel put in the en-
tire afternoon and evening Monday
with the two suspects at the office O.
the states attorney and when they
took the boys to jail about 10 o'clock
they had obtained signed confessions
that they were guilty Of both bur-
gleries. The confessions are practi-
cally identical. 1t was because the
Stevens boy at last showed DISPOSE
ton to help the officers in their work
and was less defiant in his attitude
that he was given the lighte- sen
tence.
The boys in their confession of the
Myers burglary stated that on Satur-
day night last they went to the house
of Mrs. Thayer on School street
about o'clock in the afternoon and
remained there until about midnight.
Leaving the house at that hour they
went directly to the Myers office ana
committed the burglary. Patnode
broke the window with a stone and
Stevens went through the hole ana
unlocked the door.
They found a $40 gold piece and
two pennies. Patnode stated that he
took the gold piece and gave Stevens
the pennies. They returned by a
roundabout way to the Thayer house
where they arrived about 4 o'clock
in the morning. were admitted and
passed the rest of the night. They
remained in the house all day Sun

node said that he learned Monday
that the Offices were looking for him
and that he hid the gold piece. He
also refuses to tell where he has con-
cealed the piece of money.
The boys signed a joint statement
in relation to the Joseph burglary.
According to their confession they
broke into the store about midnight
where they found three dollars and
fifteen cents In pennies and nickles.
some Lincoln pennies and some new
nickles. They took some stockings
and two rifles. Stevens took one OF
the rifles and Patnode the other. The
next afternoon they took the rifles

At every turn in the lecture came
the plea for the liberty of the child

Gradually a sense of guilt crept
over the teachers OF the audience.
The appeal for physical liberty
brought to mind the familiar rows OF
desks and chairs of our school rooms.
After all. is it the first essential that
the children sit in stationary seats
with their heads turned in the same
direction? There were memories,
too, OF good deal OF insistence upon
hands being folded in particular

that was not really necessary to the
