waited trains. During this time they
subsisted mainly upon peanuts and
gum, which they obtained from ele-
waited station slot machines.
Had they travelled westward in a
straight line over the miles they
covered on the elevated roads they
would have rached California Mon

end when suspicious passenger

dition and notified the police.

not want them as they were incor-
rigible. 1t was learned they had
been i'll custody of probation officers
