teacher, accused Of turning his
classroom into a crime school, was
held in the Montgomery county jail
here on charges of contributing to
the delinquency Of minors and au-
thorizing two students to steal auto
mobile parts for him.
The charges were filed against
Richard Silver, 26, Of Conover, Ohio,
a teacher for more than a year at
Johnsville-New Lebanon high school
near here, by Assistant County
Prosecutor Herbert M. Jacobson.
Stiver's arrest followed the round
ing up of eight high school stu
dents by sheriff's deputies In the
theft of auto accessories from
parked cars in Dayton, Brookville
and Germantown, Ohio, and Rich
mond, Ind.
One of the youths, the deputies
said, told them he did not learn
anything in Stiver's class because
the teacher spent most Of the time
drawing diagrams on the black
board showing how to break into
ears.
Silver denied the charges. He
said he bought an auto mirror from
one of the youths, but asserted ne
did not know it was stolen.
When the officers arrested Silver
at the close of classes the pupils
leaned from schoolroom windows
and jeered. "There goes Silver to
the hoosegow
Sheriff Banby M. Smith said a
check of cars driven by the students
revealed they carried nearly $1,000
worth Of stolen accessories.
