THREE PALS ARRESTED

John Toner, II. Of 343 East Forty
second street. one Of the ragged and
understood boys whose methods Of
making living puzzle the police Of
that section, was shot and killed last
night by Patrolman Thomas Larouse
of the East Fifty-first street station,
who, with three other policemen. was
answering an alarm of burglary in the
four story building at 22s East Forty
second street.
The Toner boy was said to be one of
four who were stealing lead pipes from
the empty lofts ON the top three floors
Of the building. 1t was through a
leak, caused by lead pipe they had
torn away, that their presence In
the building was discovered. Arthur
Kleiner, tuning pianos in the store Of
Charles w. Paul on the ground floor,
saw water seeping through the ceiling,
and. listening closely. thought he heard
voices above. He called George Burrie,
a watchman, who in turn sent in an
alarm to the police.
Paddock Ripped ON Door.
Patrolmen Larolse, George Blythe,
Louis Bar'aonde and Hugh Monahan
found that somebody had torn away the
paddock to the door at the foot OF the
stairs leading to the upper floors. With
Larouse In the lead, they slipped UP TO
the second floor. There was some old
boxes lying about. and the policemen
saw that a lead pipe mad been almost
torn away. but there were no burglars.
Patrolman Larouse went to the rear
window. stuck his head out and looked
up. Looking down at him from a win
dow on the fourth floor he saw the face
OF the boy who later proved to be Toner.
Larouse, whose revolver was drawn,
called the boy---the policeman said he
thought he was a man from his face
to stay right where he was. Instead,
according to the policeman, the boy
braced himself with one leg across the
sill and made a move toward his hip
pocket. The policeman fired, and the
shot struck the boy in the mouth and
went through his BRAIN
Toner tumbled out Of the window, face
downward, and landed on an, adjoining
roof few feet from the window where
the policeman stood DIR. Bernstein Of
Flower Hospital said the boy had been
killed instantly.
The other three policemen, searching
the building. arrested william Dugan.
IS. OF 779 Second avenue and Daniel
Egan. IL, OF 238 East Forty-second
street. And a few minutes later, badly
frightened and hiding behind a door.
they found Daniel Downey, IA, of 234
East Forty-second street.
Dugan and Egan were held on charges
of burglary and Downey on a charge
of Juvenile delinquency They appeared
very much frightened at the East Fifty
first station and said they had been out
Of money and had decided to take the
lead pipes, boxes and other things that
former tenants of the lofts had left and
sell them for enough money to buy food
