At length he concluded that walk
in the brisk night air would be good
for him. and so he put on his over
coat and crept noiselessly down stairs
and out on the stoop.
As he neared the street he noticed
a faint light coming from the hen
house, in the rear of the Hooper s
yard, and, wondering who could be in
there at that time of night, decided
to investigate. He walked noiselessly
to the house and opened the door
carefully and slowly There among
the chickens calmly conversing were
two colored men in prison suits. whom
we have met before, namely, Gym
Phyz and Milk Shake, who should now
be in jail.
The taller, or Gym, was speaking.

Just then Milk heard a board creak,

Sentence CHICKEN
THIEF TO "A YEARS
Police Gain Conviction
Against John Ellis for the
Theft of Fowls.

A policeman takes as much pride
In the capture of notorius criminal
as a fisherman does in landing five
pound bass. Therefore, there was
noticeable spirit of elation at local
police headquarters today over the ap-
prehension Of John Ellis, colOred, bet
ter known to the underworld as Node
Mitchell, the most notorious chicken
thief in Indiana, whom eleven years
of confinement in two state prisons
has failed to cure of the habit of pill
fering fat pullets.
This time Ellis adopted a new plan
for conducting a chicken raid. He
stole a horse and buggy belonging to
Everett Gilmer. 612 South Twelfth
street, to go after the fowls, but its
success was marred by the falling OF
the horse while Ellis was being pur'
sued by irate farmers.
When arrested at his boarding house
612 South Thirteenth street, Ellis de-
MED the crime, but late Saturday after
noon made a confession. Ellis pleaded
guilty to grand larceny today for the
theft Of the horse and buggy and six
teen chickens when arraigned in cir
cult court, and was sentenced to a
term Of from one to fourteen years
This time he probably will have ia
serve full time because he was re
leased on parole from the Michigan
, City prison only last February.
F. J. Prince, state parole agent, was
in Richmond at the time of Ellis ar
rest, and he congratulated the police
on the apprehension of this incorrigible
criminal.
