CROCE SENTENCED ON THEFT CHARGE z
Companion in Case, David SCully, Given One to
 Three Years

David Scully, 34, of North Main street was found guilty by jury which was out only 25 minutes in the Superior Court yesterday af- ternoon and sentenced to from one to three years in states prison on charge of larceny. He was also sentenced to year in Jail on a charge of taking an automobile without permission, this sentence being suspended however.
 Alvin Crose arrested with Scully on the same charges was given a year in jail. The sentenced called for year in jail on each count but Judge Foster stipulated that the sentences are to run concur rently. CroSe pleaded guilty to the charges Tuesday afternoon and was not tried by the jury, which heard Scully's case.
 Cr0se States Witness
 Crose became witness for the state at the stare of the trial yes- terday and on questioning by States Atty. William B. Fitzgerald stated that he took car owned by William Boegh of Brookline, Mass from a garage on parking lot at 119 North Main street. He took the car he said because he needed money, not having funds for food or lodging. He said he drove the car to ScullyS home where he discussed with Scully the matter of strip ping" the car. He said that Scully came along with him and took possession of the car, driving it first to Oak street in an attempt to get into a garage for the Stripping process. He was unable to get in however so the couple drove to a point near Watertown and Morn ingSide avenues, where Crose said hc and Scully removed the radio from the car along with a heater and other equipment, which they took to Scully's home. They later abandoned the car on Cooke street.
 Record Unfavorable
 Judge Foster in passing sentence on Scully said that his actions in the case before him and his pre- vious record, which showed convic- tions for robbery, clearly showed that he was no person to be at large and that the public must be protected from men like him.
 Croce adr fitted that he was drug addict and Atty. John Mon- agan pleaded for a suspended jail term for him on that ground.
 Judge Foster said however that the use of drugs might be the cause of crime but is no excuse.

This was stated here from

that Berlin has not as yet even
broken off diplomatic relations
with Athens.

Reports that London is exerting

be compelled to consider examin-

dramatic moment in the Spring OF
1918 when Colonel House commits

begin informal peace pourparlers
with Germans, explaining to me:
"The French have told us they
will quit and make = separate
peace

mission with the approval Of Pres

changed their minds about quit

is expected that Ambassador No

ised while he was foreign minister,
but which he could not carry out
because of Japanese army objec-
tons.
