WORK
LIKE OLD
CRIMINALS

Caves, search lights, coin bags
hush money, guns etc. were among
the things that had part in the
events that led up to and followed the
burglary of the Arthur Waite homo,
which resulted in the two lads guilty
of the act being sentenced to the
State Industrial school until they are
81.
A few weeks ago two 1b-year-old
boys met near the Park school and
discussed the pleasure that would
be theirs if they only had the coin
to buy the things that to them rep
resented luxury. How to secure the
money was discussed at length. At
last one of the boys suggested the
Arthur Waite house was a promis
ing place. The occupants worked at
the picture show in the evening and
always brought the proceeds homo
with them. He argued it was JUS
possible the might leave money IN
the house when they went away at
night. he other agreed he was prob
ably right.
Deciding the game was worth all
the chances involved they determin-
ed to find out if their theory was cor
rect. Patiently waiting night fall
they stationed themselves near the
Waite home and watched the family
place the door key where no one
would expect to find it. As soon as
they were gone the boys took the
key from its hiding place, entered
the house and with the aid of a
searchlight hunted until they lOcat q.
coin bag. Opening it they found
it contained more than $50. Before
taking their departure they added
two guns and knife to their store
of plunder. Fastening out they wend-
ed their way to an unfrequented spot
near the railroad track where they
hid the money and the guns under a
rock.
Day after day they visied the
scene of the hiding place, opened the
money bag and each took dollar or
two as his portion. A "pal" who
watched them closely discovered their
secret and warned them they must
pay him hush money or he would re-
veal it. First dollar was required
Semi-weekly herald., 1916-12-28

then two dollars and then larger
sum and at last a gun was demanded
as the price of silence. Shortly two
other boy friends discovered the sec-
ret and they too required hush mon
ey.
The hiding place no longer proving
a safe one. and the lads decided 10
move their treasures to a cave, shar-
ed in common by bunch of boys
who were congenial spirits. 1t ap-
pears the knowledge of the burglary
did not spread beyond the inner circle
but all profited by it as the holders
of the sacks spent their money for
delectable eats which were prepared
and served in the cave.
Shortly the youthful burglars de-
cided their travels were confined to
an uncomfortably limited area and
they planned trip. They journey
ed to Pennington, where they tarried
at the Allen hotel until the fathe
Of one Of the boys located them and
brought them home.
Officer Garbanati, meanwhile hal
been closely following the case had
decided they were the guilty parties.
When he placed them under arrest
he succeeded in getting a compete
confession and also securing s35.5S,
the money that had not been spent.
The boys told their story in county
court yesterday afternoon as they had
told it to their fathers and to the
officers. This being the second of
fense on the part of both, they We're
sentenced to the State Industrial
school until they are 81.
Their respective fathers and the
mother of two of the boys who secured
hush money reimbursed Mr.. Waite
something over twenty dollars and it
is understood the parents of the
other lad who received coin for his
silence will make up the remainder.

MOVIES MAKING GOOD
SPELLERS OF CHILDREN

COLUMBUS, Dec. 27.-The movies
are producing good elementary school
spoilers here today.
Pupils at Grandview Heights school
who spell correctly every word of 20
lessons receive a certificate which en-
titles them to admission to a special
movie show in the school auditorium.
And the kiddies are making good
Two hundred and fifty of the 289 eli
gibles won admission to recent

The school faculty has become so
enthusiastic over the benefits obtain
ed in the spelling via the motion pic
ture route they're planning to extend
the show tickets to other studies.
But the movie is not the innova-
ton that's been in vogue at the
Grandview school. Second graders
often bring their pet dogs and cats
to the school room and are permitted
to play with them during the regular
play hour.
These tots also think its lots Of fun
to get their spelling lessons by tele-
graph Morse code. The teacher
clicks off the dots with her ruler and
the pupils "pick up" the words.
