COLLEGE rum TRAP" GETS

When a trap to catch liquor thi ives
was sprung in the chemical laboratory
Of Clark University, two young students
were captured carrying an empty gallon
can.
The police aIlege they were headed
straight for the stock Of alcohol.
The capture is expected to result in
further arrests and explanation Of mys-
FERROUS thefts that have made deep in
roads into the college supply.
Peculiarly enough though the youths
were caught in the laboratory one Of
them was released and the other charged
with carrying a gun without a permit
and operating an automobile under the
influence of liquor. His name was given
by the police as John l., Peters, %, Of
HOIlistOn.
Peters was sentenced to six months
in the House of Correction later in dis
trict court on the charge of carrying a
gun. He appealed. The other charges
were dismissed. Wills nj. Lester. an
other student, was a witness put on the
stand by the police but he declared he
did not see Peters draw a gun in the
laboratory.
Acting on a mysterious tip, Professor
Benjamin s. Morig0ld Of the chemistry
department with Sergeant Stephen r.
Moriarty Of the Worcester police hid in
the laboratory early today waiting for
the expected raid.
Their patience was rewarded when a
key turned in the lock and the door
opened.
The watchers waited for the youths
to head for the alcohol supply and they
were discovered when a dashlight pick
ed them up.
The gallon can one # them carried
dropped TO the floor and the two stu
dents stood in establishment Boston
