THREE BOYS IN ROBBERY
Confessed to Breaking Into Solomon
Drug Store Sunday Morning

Drug Store Sunday Morning
Three boys, all about 16 years of
age, were arrested in Salina Sun
day afternoon by Sheriff Sherman,
following the robbery of Harring-
tons drug store at Solomon early
Sunday morning. Two of them,
Lawrence Writ and James Marine
gave their home as Kansas City and
the third, Jack Cruise, said he
came from California. They are
held on charges Of grand larceny and
burglary In the second degree.
When they were first questioned
by the sheriff and county attorney
Jack Cruise said that he broke
into the store alone, took goods and
then divided up with the other boys.
However further questioning brought
confessions from all three that they
had all been in the store and gath
cred up articles Of an aggregate
value Of $SS. They said that they
broke in the back door of the store
with the use of screw driver.
Everything went well until they
took three manicure sets which were
part of their loot, into Salina drug
store and asked the clerk to wrap
them up so that they could send
them to their girls. The clerk sized
up the boys and deciding something
was wrong, notified the police. Their
arrest followed. They told the sher-
If that they were with circus for
while but they left that at Beatrice,
Neb., went to Junction City where
they were told to move on and then
decided to stage the robbery at Solo
mon.
They were bound over for trial
and are In jail.

spectator, counting his pile, finds tha,
one has gone.
