Judge Lord Tuesday afternoon on complaint OF
Edwin P. Frost for having in his possession a

en- from his cottage in East Belfast. Walter,
, the young son of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter h.
Coombs, saw the coins in the possession of the
Hall boy at the Mcclellan school, which they
lection suggested that Claude sell them to her.

session of some of the stolen goods. Judge
Lord questioned the lad privately and advised
him to tell the truth about the affair. He ten
aciously held to the story of finding them in a
box on the dump at the old rag wharf just af-
ter Christmas. while playing with his little
brother, and said that the coins were in a small
purse and the other articles done up in pieces
of curtains He told the same story at the

to time and place and he was found guilty and
the sentence was suspended until Wednesday,
!. when Judge Lord committed him to the State
School for Boys. but suspended the mittimus to
give time for further investigation.
