 The mother, Mrs. NJ. l.. Meyers, employed in a restaurant at Woon socket, arrived here shortly after States Attorney H. O. Perkins, of Clay county had obtained signed confession from the girl. The confess tion stated that she had attempted to enter the bank vault early Satur- day to get s24 with which to pay her tuition at the University of South Dakota. where she was a freshman. The robbery attempt was failure.
 Mrs. Meyers was unable to under stand why her daughter should need money for school expenses. She said she had sent Marion s6 every week and that the latter had worked for her board and room at the home of Professor C. Josey.

 Arraignment on the burglary charge was set for today before a justice of the peace. The penalty for third degree burglary in this state is not more than 15 years in the peni- tentiary.
 Miss Meyers related in her confess sion that she left the home of Pro- lessor Josey early Friday evening and after waiting in the post office and rest room until 1 a. m. Satur- day, entered the bank building through a window in the rear hall way. Unable to get into the main room of the bank, she went into an adjoining garage, where she obtained a collection of pliers, drill bits and a screw driver. With these she drilled and piled her way into the banks main room. After opening a draw CT, which was empty, she became frightened by some one opening the
