Tells of Desperadoes.


 He questioned the boy, who IS = would do credit to the writer of the wildcat and wooiest .of the western holdup stories. The boy told the po- licemsn that he had been captured by a number of other boys, blindfolded, bound and gagged and carried off into a wooded lot. There he was told by a 10 year old member Of the gang that he could choose one Of two alterna- tiNes. One was death, and the other, the only way in which he could es- cape death, was to go to his house and steal whatever money his mother had in the house and turn it over to the bandits. He told Feeney that 10 save his life, ne agreed to get the money and turn it over to them, which he did.
 The identity Of the five other boys was learned and they were question: cd about the affair They admitted that they had plans mado for an ad venture trip through the west and that they were in on the money that was stolen from the house of the sixth boy, But they vigorously denied the Kidnapping and death threat story of the boy. They said that he was a member Of their gang and was in on the plans to go west, and that he agreed 10 steal the money from his mother without any threats being made.
 The boy was again questioned as 10 his story and after time, he finally admitted that the story he told Police man Feency was simply child Of his imaginative brain. He explained the fabrication of the story by saying that he was afraid 10 admit that he had stolen tha money voluntarily evident ly forgetting that his heroes, whom he had been planning to follow, never knew such thing as fear.
 The police have succeeded in re- covering ssS Of the stolen money, and ihe boys have been turned over io Probation Officer Edward C. Connolly for arraignment in juvenile court.

They needed money. but that little thing did not cause them any great trouble, as they had learned various ways of getting it from the novels.
 One Of the boys knew that his mother had money hidden at home, and he conhded the information to his pals. The result of the knowledge was that the money. sa2, was taken and the loss Of it reported to the po- Ice. Policeman Thomas J, feeney was assigned 10 investigate and he soon secured information indicating that the son of the woman who had lest the money was the one who took

sion with some previously published

not the case.
The resolutions also condemn the

The Democrats are in a good posi-

at is clear the alleged delinauen-

reason the La Toilette campaign will
make great inroads in the Republican
