ARREST OF TWO BOYS
ENDS BURGLARIES
Two Danielson Youths Admit
Breaks In City and Borough.
Youngsters Weep and Prom
Use to Go Straight.

Through information secured by
the Putnam police following the APP
prehension of Richard Jackson. two
Danielson youths were arrested and
confessed to a series Of burglaries in
Danielson and Putnam. The boys were
arraigned in the town court of Kill
ingly last Thursday and pleaded gull
ty. Because Of their ages they come
under juvenile offenders and their
names are withheld. Both were SEN
fenced to the Connecticut School for
Boys at Meriden, but the execution of
the sentence was suspended and they
were placed in charge of Attorney

The lads admitted breaking into the
store of Roy Shippee, Church street.
Here they stole SIP, part of which
was recovered. They also entered the
Office Of Medbury & Trowbridge, Main
street, but found no money. The
boys were questioned at length as to
other small breaks in Putnam but ad-
mitted nothing beyond the Shippee
and Medbury q Trowbridge burgla-
ries.
Confess Danielson Grimes
To the Danielson police they admit
ted series Of petty burglaries that
have been going on in that borough
for some time. One Of the things that
attracted attention to them was the
fact that they seemed to be well sup
piled with money and occasionally hir-
ed taxicabs to bring them to Putnam.
While being questioned in Daniel
son both boys wept freely and appear
ed to be badly frightened. They re-
peatedly promised TO go straight here
after. The officials were convinced
that the boys have learned a lesson.
The youths were impressed with the
fact that if they get into more trou-
BILE no leniency will be shown them.
