Five Youths Sentenced
For Thefts in MARYLAND

LA PLATA, Md, Aug. 81 (P.-
Twelve youngsters, from IL to
Is years old, appeared before Cir
cult Judge J. Dudley Digges yes
terday, charged with being in
volved in score or more bur-
glaries. The judge sent five to
the Maryland Training School
for Boys, placed five on proba-
ton, continued one case for "two
or three years" and dismissed
charges against one 14-year-old.
All IL boys readily admitted
participation in the theftS, which
crossed over $4,000. While polite
to the court, answering "Yessirs"
and "Nosirs," they generally
showed an indifference to the
proceedings.
One of them, a 12-year-old.
told Judge Dlgges he had robbed
the house of James E. Shaffer,
| jr., of Indian Head. four times.
He said he had had assistance
from buddies on three of those
occasions. The total take. he
said. was $40. and said he spent
his share of the loot on toy auto
mobiles.
Questions Youth
Don't you know it's wrong
to steal?" asked the judge.
Yes, SIR"
do you think you would do
lit AGAIN."
THAT depends on how things
work out" the lad replied. If
I'm going down the street with
some boys of the wrong sort. and
they decide to rob a place,
might go along with them"
| And if you do. do you know
what I'll have to do?" the judge
asked.
"Send me away, I guess"
Don't you think you've learned
your lesson?"
I'm not sure"
Judge Digges called the boys
| father to the stand.
The parent told the judge he
made it a policy to get all the
work he could to give his chill
dren all the comforts he could
provide.
Gave Them Choice
! He said he asked them wheth-
er they would rather have candy
and roller skates and that sort
of thing or have him home at
night. The 12-year-old told him,
he said, he preferred the candy
and roller skates.
! st guess I was wrong" he said
There's no doubt about it, :
Judge Digges said tersely.
The father pleaded with the
judge to let him take the boy
back home for another try.

probation under these conditions;

The latest effort to introduce
dog racing in Maryland faces a
rough obstacle course.
Horse race interests indicated
today they will fight to the last
ditch to prevent passage of leg

There they sat at small tables
