COLORED BOYS
UNDER CHARGE
STEALING PAINT
MORRIS ALLEN AND EARL
MUMFORD WILL BE AR.
RAIGNED ON SATURDAY.
BEFORE U. S. COMM. GWYNN

Stealing paint from government
reservations is the charge against
Morris Allen and Earl Mumford
to which they will answer before
U. S. Commissioner c. Rodney
Gwynn, Saturday.
These colored youths are charg-
ed with stealing paint from the
naval station and also from the
United States Marine Hospital at
Key West.
How the thefts were revealed
is told by Officer Alberto Cam
ero who was instrumental in work
ing up the case and bringing
about the recovery of practically
all of the stolen paint.
Held On Another Charge
Allen was arrested on a charge
of entering the store of Jeff Ad-
ans on Caroline street. While in
the city Jail it was decided the
case was for tile county and Of
ficer Camera Started to take the
accused youth to the county Jail.
While doing so, Officer Camera
who was then looking for clues as
to the robbery of the paint from
the naval station, suddenly and
without warning, said, "What did
you do with the paint you stole
from the naval station?"
Imagine his surprise when AL
len started to tell about the paint
theft and implicated Mumford.
In a brief time, Mumford was ar
rested and all the facts CLEANED
from one or the other of the pris-
oners.
Since the youths have been in
Jail, Allen has been given a hear
ing on charge of entering the
Adams place of business and
bound over to criminal court in
bond of 500.
He must also answer to charges
of stealing knives from the Ro-
berts Hardware company. He has
confessed to taking the knives. six
of which have been recovered by
Constable Ray Elwood.
Another Charge Pending
Another charge pending is that
of stealing three clocks from the
establishment of Pierce Brothers.
Two of these have also been re-
covered.
Both Allen and Mumford were
arraigned Saturday on the charge
of stealing the paint from gov
eminent reservations. They plead
ed not guilty. Formal hearing
was set for Saturday of this week.
Allen was remanded to jail and
Mumford was released in the care
of his mother. who promised he
will be in court at the appointed
time.
It was learned at the naval sta
ton this morning that both of the
boys had proven to be nuisances
and had on two different oeca-
sions been placed in the "brig"
for hours each time and warned
to keep away.
