ARREST IN RIVER
Charged With Robbing Freight
Cars, He Is Sent to House
of Correction

One of five boys alleged to have
robbed freight cars was arrested while
swimming in the middle of the Schuyl-
kill river today. He had jumped into
the water, it is said, when he lost
ground in n chase made after him by
Railroad Detective John Murphy.
The boy is John O'Neill, who gave
an address in South Hollywood street,
below Federal, as his home. The police
doubt his statement that he is only
sixteen years old. He was sent to the
House of Correction.
Detective Murphy, detailed to rail-
road yards located below South, street,
on the east bank of the Schuylkill, is
alleged to have found five boys robbing
freight car containing packages OF
shoes. AS he approached they fed,
and when he gave chase they separated.
The detective chased O'Neill, and
just as he was about to catch him on
the river bank, the boy leaped into the
water. The detective obtained row
boat and padded with one oar to the
middle of the river, when he forced
O'Neill to climb into the boat. He
then proceeded to the west bank of the
river, and took him prisoner to the
Thirty second street and Woodland

ARREST THREE MEN
FOR ROBBERY PLOT
Butchers Boosting of Large
Profits Said to Have Caused
Conspiracy

\ chance remark made in a barber s
chair led to an alleged robbery con
spiracy which was checked by prompt
action on the part of three detectives
and resulted today in the holding of
three men in $500 bail for further hear
ing by Magistrate Pennock, at Central
Station.
While getting shaved one day last
week the proprietor of butcher shop at
Fifty fifth street and Chester avenue
remarked that he had made $1,000 in
his shop during one evening
The police claim that it was because
of this remark they overheard that
three men-Iouis J. Moore, alias Regal,
a sailor stationed at League Island :;
Joseph Blees, of Gordon City, L. L.,
and Edward birmingham. of Buffalo.
plotted to rob the establishment.
Lieutenant of Detectives Wood re.
ceived information of the plan and put
Detectives Clark and Hodge on the
trail of the men. They were arrested
Saturday night. Moore in the Broad
Street Station and the other two on
Twelfth street near Market.
The police declare that all three
men admitted conspiracy to rob, but
at the hearing this morning Moore
absolutely denied the whole thing.
"All l said" declared Moore, was
that $1,000 would come in handy to
any of us.
Blees was in the army during the
war, but has been out of service for
eight months. In the possession of
birmingham, who was also a soldier,
were found the discharge papers of sew
eral other soldiers.
Five other men were arrested in the
same connection on the technical charge
of "corner lounging,' but they were all
released with lecture by the mag
istrate.
