Joe Costello Who Has Been
on Probation Admits
Forgery of Check.
TWO BOYS IN TROUBLE
Frank Cross of Same Age Ar
rested with Costello When
One Tries to Buy Rifle.

Two boys, Joe Costello of Maplewood
avenue, and Frank Cross, of SOL Mid
die street, who have appeared in the
police reports from time to time, and
with whom the authorities have had
continual trouble, were once more
placed under arrest when they were
taken into custody Friday evening in
connection with forging the check of
priest and with attempting to pur-
chase rifle. Both of the boys were
placed upon parole when they were in
difficulty before, but this time the po-
lice were disposed to urge stringent
measures.
Both Considered Hopeless.
Both Of the boys are twelve years
of age, and the authorities expressed
themselves as digusted with their con-
tinual eruptions into crime, as it
causes constant Investigations on the
part of the police and it is believed
that many misdemeanors which are of
a nature which cause the police to
look for older culprits may be caused
by just such ne'er-do-wells.
The forging of the check was not
discovered until one of the boys, Co.'S
tello, sought to purchase a rifle at
the Ernst book store at half past eight
Friday night. The boy was refused
the gun, whereupon he protested and
said that he had plenty of money with
which to pay for it.
The police were notified of the
episode and Captain Clausen, who re-
ceived the report at the police station,
at once set out to look wof the young
ster, As he came up Main street he
saw two boys in front of the Bell
clothing house. The boys, at the sight
Of the police captain, at once showed
guilty heels. One boy, recognized by
Clausen as young Costello, dueked
down an alley, but the captain was too
quick for the other boy and caught
him by the coat collar before he had
proceeded far. The police detectives
were sent to Costello's home to take
him when he arrived and an hour
later at ten o'clock, he was brought
in to the station, having been caught
at the house as he returned.
Buried Money in Tin Can.
Cross when searched was found to
carry $500 on his person which he
said had been given him by Costello
and the latter when examined at the
police Office, confessed that he had
forged the signature on priests check
for $4,000 and hid the money received
in tin can on the west side.
Police detectives accompanied the
youth Of twelve and on lakewood
avenue between Maplewood and How
land avenues the can was found buried
in the snow. There was left $15.23
in the can. The check had been cash
ed at store on Rowland avenue near
the Balm school. It was a bona-fide
check made out to Krasel by Father
F. W. Pribyl and had his signature,
but the signature of Krasel had been
forged by young Costello.

her husband, after all, was the very
best man in the world, and would the
judge please give him another chance;

judge until he is released.
but my greatest regret is giving
up the work Of the juvenile branch,
including the work for women and
children. The good that can be done
IN the mothers pension department
and probation work in general. There
is great deal Cd work that comes to
the attention of the judge of the court,
IN which it becomes necessary for him
to protect and properly guard the in
terets, personal and otherwise, of the
people of this class; and it was always
a real pleasure for me to give as much
OF my time to this line of work as to
the work Of a more important nature.
A word of advice to such people, when
IN trouble, is very often their only
consolation, and if one feels that he
has accomplished some good in this
line of work, he feels we'll repaid by
receiving the best wishes of those who
benefit thereby.
81 feel very grateful to the people
of this county for giving me the OPP
portunity to serve them during the
past four years. 1t will always be q
real pleasure and I shall always con-
slider it great privilege in the future
to say that the voters permitted me
to occupy this position. I have tried
to make the municipal court the 'peo-
pies court; whether or not l have
succeeded in my efforts, the people
alone, of course, can best Judge. !

One big consignment of moonshine-
at least it smells and looks like it
which was to have been in action on
New Years Day, was put out of com
mission late Friday afternoon when a
sponge squad, under the personal direc-
ton of Sheriff Rauen, raided house
on the Somers road just west of the
lakewood cemetery and came back with
two men and lot of jugs and bottles
and still. Roughly estimated the con-
tanners held five gallons of the white
liquid. The still was of the old-fash-
Toned washboiler variety and it was
declared by the officials that it ap-
peared to have been in recent opera
ton. Prosper Stahl and Charles Hof-
kens, both claiming to be natives of
Belgium, were taken by the sheriff and
his men and they were in Jail today
awaiting hearing on charges of max
ing and having mule" in possession.
The official party which visited the
home of the Be1gians included Sheriff
Rauen, Deputies Otto, Stanley Rauen
and Chef Isermann. They swooped
down on the Somers roadhouse just
before nightfall and the still was To-
Gated in the cellar of the house. The
men had the usual story that the
liquor was not being made for sale, but
for their own consumption. The two
men have lived at the house for some
time and officials said that they had
received a number of complaints that
liquor was being made at the house.
The men were to be arraigned in the
municipal court during the day.

FULLY TO ENTER
LEGAL PRACTICE
Judge Tully Forms Legal
Partnership With AttOr-
ney w. NJ. Burke.
CHANGE IN OFFICES

Announcement was made this morn
ing that Judge James E. Tu1ly, when
he leaves the bench on December the
31st, will enter a partnership for the
practice of law with Attorney Walter
M. Burke of this city. The new firm
Of Burke and Tully has already been
organized and by the first of the year
the partnership will have been com
pleted and be ready for the continu-
ance of the legal business.
The formation of the new firm did
not come as a complete surprise to the
legal fraternity of Kenosha inasmuch
as Judge Tully last spring in announc-
ing that he would not be a candidate
for reelection as judge of the NUM-
cipal court, indicated that he was con-
sidering this partnership for the pri-
vate practice Of law.
Had Much Experience.
Judge Tully will bring to the new
firm years of experience in legal af-
fairs. For a number of years prior to
becoming a member of the Kenosha
County Bar association, he was associ-
ated with Attorney Peter Fisher, Sr.,
where he learned the rudiments of the
profession. He completed his legal ed
ucation at Marquette university and
shortly after returning to Kenosha to
practice was elected judge Of the mu-
nicipal court, which position he has
held for two terms.
Attorney Walter M. Burke, the senior
partner in the firm, has built up a
large patronage since his graduation
from the Marquette University College
of Law. He will continue this work
but will also maintain Offices in Mil
waukee, whore he represents several
large concerns.
Will Change Over Offices.
It was also announced this morning
that the formation of the new part
nership would necessitate the taking
over of larger quarters by the firm
and that the rooms to the north of
the present Offices of Attorney Burke
in the Burke building on Market
Square had been secured and would
be added to the present Offices. The
Kenosha Realty company will continue
to have it's Offices in the same suite
with the new firm. Alterations in the
building are being made during the
present week so that it will be ready
for tenancy by the firm. :.
The dental firm which now occupies
these rooms has secured a suite in ar
other part Of the building.
