Nathaniel was hired as a delivery
boy by ODonnell on Wednesday. Yes
tcrday the youth was sent out to de-
liver some hats. In leaving the
store he went in the opposite direc-
ton from which the deliveries were
to be made.
O'Donnel decided to do some "Old

In a few minutes the boy came down

in paper.
O'Donnell accused the boy OF the
theft of the hat and had him ar
rested.
In City Court today Nathaniel said
when caught by ODonnell he was on
the way down 10 the store to ask
him for the hat. as his father was
