Mrs. Agnes kcmpa of Fierce street vas fined sl5 and costs on d charg, Of theft this morning when she an pfarcd in court before Justice L. < Mills as the result of the stealing of
 wire 1ronl tho old Bristol Mtg. Co.
 property. now onr'ed by Walter N,isl
 of New Britain. Her l5-ycar-old son
 and another boy, aged l6, Were ar
 rested early in the week by Constable
 F.. w. Furrey, who later also took into custody Jacob Bernstein of
 Hartford, said 10 he the "foucc." The arrest of Mrs. kempa was q late de lNelopment of the case,
 I Bernstein, who was represented lv Attorney katz Of Hartford, claimed that he did not know the wire had been stolen. The boys admitted the theft but Mrs. kempa said she did not know her son had stolen the ma teral which she helped sell to the junk dealer.
 1 Prosecutor Charles r. Conlon. in summing up, said he believed some ono was committing perjury. In view 1 of furrey's later investigation, he would not charge Bernstein with re- Celvlng stolen goods as he doubted | If he knew tn" source, but hc i thought the iunkmau should hc more 1 careful in his purchase and recom- 1 mended q nolle' on payment of costs.
 The kempa boy had been out of the reformatory less than a year. he went on, and he did not want to sec anyone sent back to such an insri- tuition. The lads reputation, however, Was not good ho said. and he re- commented q small fine. He urged the same in the case of the other boy, who had never been arrested before. The youths father made plea for him, but Attorney Conlon criticized him for trying to excuse bis son. He said the boy had been idle and had found an outlet for his energy in crime.
