ROBBER|ES
Ralph White SmiIingIy Admits
Northwest Crimes; Meant
To Shoot Policeman

Mystery surrounding several
spectacular robberies in the north
west section OF Washington were
cleared up in the United States
branch of Police Court, before
Judge Schu1dt today when Ralph
White, nineteen, Of s1417 Monroe
street northwest, pleaded guilty to
two charges of HOUSEKEEPING, one
OF joy-riding and charge of carry
ing a revolver.
Manley Harris, twenty-five,
pleaded guilty to a charge of robb-
ing the home of Gus w. Forsberg,
at 4907 Fourteenth street north
west, with White, and was held
for the grand jury.
Walter Metz, pleaded not guilty
to s.-5Se of housebreaking in
entering the SS<ndard Oil branch
at Connecticut aMlnue and Harri.
son streets. Police say they are
looking for Thomas Broderick,
another young white Nan, alleged
to have been implicated.
The capture of White aud Metz
took place near the gas station.
Sergeant S. J. Marks, of the Sub-T
station, found a car parked and
sat inside to await developments.
White came along, and not recog-
nizing the officer, told him to move
over and take some stolen oil.
Marks leaped from the car and
covered White with his revolver
as the latter attempted to escape.
White told the officer ne would
have shot him If he could have
gotten his As caliber automatic free
from his pocket, the police say.
White told Judge Schuldt he
could not get the revolver in or
out of his pocket owing to the
large number of stolen bills and
silver he had. AS the boy was on
probation for carrying concealed
weapons Judge Schuldt gave him
two years in today's cases.
White smilingiy pleaded guilty to
other charges including the theft
of an automobile belonging to Wal
ter Gibson from Fourteenth street
northwest.
In the Forsberg case he said he
stole two cases of fine whiskey
among other things from the cellar
of the complaining witness.
These facts, becoming known, are
thought to have much weight in
the case Of Guy Rome, suspended Of
ficer, who was said to have taken
liquor from Forsberg's home.

for the grand jury in the house
breaking cases. The other boys
