this morning and held at police
headquarters in Bronxville for return
to this city.
The escape was apparently planned
for a considerable length of time
and the notes written before the es-
cape actually begun, as one of the
messages states the boys planned to
"hop freight" All three messages
state that the boys felt they should
leave their families because they
were always getting into trouble. D
Steal Auto
The boys fled in a car owned by
Thomas McEvoy of 6 Plaza avenue
which was parked near the home
They abandoned an attempt to make
their escape in another car, but left
the three messages in unstamped en-
velopes in that machine. The letters
were found by a policeman and
turned over to Chief Inspector Jo-
seph P. Stevens, of the detective
bureau.
Teletype warnings were sent
throughout New England as soon as
police learned of the flight last night
but no word was received until 6:55
o'clock this morning, when tele-
type message from Bronxville "came
in" stating briefly that "three boys
were apprehended in Hawthorne and
the car recovered"
The teletype report gave the
names of the boys and their ages
which were 10, IL, and IA years, re-
spectively.
Story of the flight on strange roads
in the dark and rain was expected
to be revealed by Detective Lieuts
Joseph Bender and Edward Noel
ligott, who were Immediately sent
to Bronxville to bring the lads home
1t was assumed that the eldest boy
IA, was at the wheel of the stolen
auto, but the boys may have taken
turns.
Police Amazed
Police thought it unlikely, how
ever, that boys 10 and IL years of age
knew how to drive, and expressed
amazement that a IA year old boy
should make such long trip, in the
dark, on unfamiliar roads, and In
fear of pursuit.
The boys, it was believed, were
going to New York city.
Their letters to their parents
found in the first automobile by a
policeman, are as follows:
Dear Nom and Dad,
Don't feel bad when I tell you
what Pm going to do in this letter.
I'm going to run away from home
as Pm always getting into trouble
and only a bother to you.
"Give my love to sisters and
"YOur son,
GEORGE"
Dear Ma and Dad,
"PIeaSe excuse me for running
away like this. Because 1 always

hoped a freight out of town. Don't
worry about me as I'm just in your
way anyhow. Now maybe you can
get some money saved up in your
bank. 1 won't be around to steal
it. Don't come looking for me be-
cause you'll never find me.
So long,
"ARMAND.
Don't tell the COluccis about
this"
Armand is IA years old, Terry is
10, and George, IL. 1t is expected
they will be turned over to juvenile
authorities upon their return.
