Youthful Robbers After Candy
Two bright faced but diminutive lit
tie chaps are behind the bars because
of their desire to launch upon career
of crime and emulate the notorious
bandits and yeggmen whose thrilling
escapades have been heralded in
newspaper headlines. They are Ralph
and Glen Fish, aged 10 and 6 respec-
| lively, residing at 1920 Brady street.
Although mere children in years, the
tiny lawbreakers are apparently well
versed in the ways of crime. When
arrested yesterday morning the older
| boy had in his possession a kit of
burglar tools and a big collection of
! skeleton keys. according to the po-
! lice They will be tried in probation
! court. Their case is knotty one, and
it may be that their extreme youth
will preclude the possibility of COM
hitting them to a reformatory. The
kids have confessed to the police that
they burglarized the Place grocery,
1901 Brady street, Sunday night. The |
job was far from amateurish in eXecu- |
ton, but the spirit of youth predomi- |
mated in the selection of the swag, |
which consisted only of candy. About |
SIS or Sc worth of confectionery was
taken. A portion of it was eaten while
the remainder was planted in a va
cant lot at the rear of the grocery.
