BOY BANDIT, IS, CoNFEssEs TWO
BANK HoLDUPs.

For FIVE hours Thursday night Willie
DOody, Is, entertained Chief of Detec-
tives Hughes and others at the bureau
by eonfessing details of several hun
bred crimes, including the $4,000 ron
berry of the Summit State Bank. April
70, the shooting of Policeman Thomas
D. Fallon the same day and the faseo-
holdup of the Cicero State Bank April
Is.
Doody, who admitted being leader of
gang, confessed that he and his
men all about his own age-had
robbed scores of Standard and Sinclair
Oil Company filing stations. He told
of dozens of highway robberies and de-
seribed a number of holdups in tea
stores operated by the Atlantic Pa
cife Co.
He Dragged of the method by which
his gang" had beaten their helpless
victims. He mentioned innumerable
automobiles which he and his associates
had stolen.
Police Believe His Story.
And the strange part of his eonfes-
sion is, according to Chief of Detee-
tives Hughes, that every word of it is
true. Detail by detail his stories were
checked against complaint records.
There was absolute coincidence.
Joseph Brennan, one of DOody s pals,
was arrested Thursday. Within two
hours Peter DOnOvieh got out of a
taxieab at the Detective Bureau and
asked to see Brennan.DOnovieh, wanted
for the theft of his fathers automobile /
and $500, was arrested. Detective
Sergeant Aleoek, who recognized in
Donovieh an associate of an unknown
criminal wanted for many crimes, hur-
RED to the street and found Doody
peeking from behind the taxieab. This
was at O'Clock Thursday evening.
Boy Puts Up Fight.
The boy bandit, recognizing the de-
teetive, put up tearful struggle Z,
Hundreds Of men and women, passing
the bureau on their way home, eneir-
lied the .battlers. Sergt. AleOek tried
TO use his gun, but did not dare be-
cause of the throng. He subdued the
prisoner only after taking a severe
beating himself.
''I stole the automobile we used in
he Summit Bank job from the West
Park Commissioners, Doody Dragged.
Besides myself there were three 9th
rs in the gang. Remember. there were
hree employees and four customers in

1t cannot be possible that Chicago
has not awakened to the attempt to
renew interest in the important and
necessary work of the N. A. A. c. P.
Last Sundays meeting, at the large
Pilgrim Baptist church, where the
management had assembled a fine
array of platform talent, such as
Eugene ]. Marshall, Capt. R. A. J.
Shaw, DR.. S. E. ]. Watson, Hon.
Adelbert H. Roberts, DR.. Carl G.
Roberts and Charles Satchell Morris,
Jr., the attendance was not in keep
ing with the importance of the occa-
sion, though ample advertising pre-
ceded the meeting. 1t seems that the
charge of dynamite at the residence
of former Aid. Oscar De Priest and
the advent of the Ku Klux men above
the Mason and Dixon line, has not
sounded loud enough to arouse the
people.
Chicago Challenged!
1t is hoped by the officers of the
Chicago branch that what &as lack
ing in attendance last Sunday will
be made up in manifold measure as
the drive" progresses and that at its
close the 10000 memberships asked
for will have been enrolled. Such
fine workers as DR.. !. H. Holloway
on the west side, Mrs. Georgia De-
Baptiste Ashburn on the north side,
William H. Sheridan in Englewood
and Miss EsteIle Arnold on the south
side, in charge as majors in the vari-
Gus sections, must certainly bring

them. The general headquarters of
