thwarting every effort made by the
court officers 10 learn his identity. HIS
age and where he lives. With Spar
tan-like determination he has so far
opposed his will 10 those who havo
questioned him, but whether he will
be able 10 hold out much longer on
his diet Of bread and water and soli-
tary confinement cannot be foretold.
The boys age is apparently about
13. and he was anprehended by a C IL
zen this morning near a factory along
the Christiana for the alleged larceny
of copper. After his arrest Miss Myra
Runyor. asF~,gant chief probation
officer Of the Juvenile Court, was told
that the boy had been playing
hockey from school for three months
unknown to his parents. There are
two more boys implicated in the al
legged theft OF copper but the little
prisoner maintains his uncommuni-
cative attitude when he Is asked 10
tell who hey are Miss Runyon said
that the boys diei OF bread and water
would be cont nued as long as he re-
fuses to divulge his name and age.
