BOYS and COP Play
At HIDE and SEEK
Lads, Under Garage and 1heata
Seats, Watch Sleuth !,

While Motorcycle Policeman Wils
liam P. Hayes was riding around tho
vicinity of Russell, Lake and Cedar
streets Wednesday afternoon seeking
two boys who had snatched a purse
from Mrs. George Bordeur OF AZ
Union street, the lads, aged 10 ana
II years, were hiding in the rear OF
a garage on Cedar street, near Lake.
and short time later, while Ser~
geant Patrick ]. O'Mara was IN 6
Main street theater on "hunch"
that the youngsters would be taking
in the show, they were hiding under
their seats, watching him.
Yesterday afternoon. however. the
sergeant. whose speciality is rounds
ing up delinquent boys, brought the
pair in and they admitted their
guilt.
They saw Mrs. Bordeur on Russ
sci street and approaching her they
inquired the location of Grove Hill.
As she was pointing it out, one Of
the lads snatched her purse and
made off with it. They went through
a hole In a wall and hid near the
garage, realizing that they would
have slight chance of escaping de-
lection if they ran through the
streets. They calmly waited for the
hunt to begin and within few
minutes after getting their hands on
the purse, they saw the motorcycle
officer on the trail. When they felt
certain that he had driven away
from the neighborhood, they went
down street.
"Hot Dogs" and Movies
The pocketbook contained 50 or
81, which they divided and after en-.
joying a meal OF hot dogs" they
decided to spend the afternoon at
the movies. Both having been in
the tolls of the law on previous &C.
casions, they were smart enough to
realize that they were still in danger
of being picked out OF the matinee
audience especially IL Sergeant
O'Mara was on duty. Such enough,
short time after they had settled
down to enjoy the show. they saw
the sergeant looking around the
theater and they promptly slid I'm.
der the seats and did not get UP I'm.
til he had gone.
Sleep in "Haunted House,
According to the police, both boyi
admitted that they have been sleep.
ing away from home. They spent
one night In house near the Bap-
fist church on West Main street,
which they refer to as the haunted
house" One of them was arrested
a few weeks ago for theft OF articles
from the Kulper Printing Co. store
on Main street. and he has also
been implicated in other thefts, the
police say. His companion likewise
is known to the police. Both boy,
will be arraigned in Juvenile court
tomorrow morning.
Although he doubted that they
are the pair who snatched Miss Eva
Minderlein's purse on Grand street
several days ago, Sergeant O'Mara
brought them before her and she
verified his disbelief that they were
In the theft. The ser
geant remarked that these boy1
would not have taken the trouble
of returning Miss Minderlein's purse
as had been done, because he
knows they keep whatever they
take.
