BOY BURGLAR SENT T0 RED WING; REFORMS Claude Mastin Indicates to Judge Stan- ton That He Will Try to Become Good Citizen. AIDS IN RECOVERY OF GOODS Bound Over by Crowell but Later Is Permitted to Plead Guilty to Larceny Charge. Claude Mastin, the b;':y burglar, pleaded guilty to 2 charge of lar- ceny in the second degree before Judge Stanton of the district court today, and was ordered committed to the Red Wing training school for a period of two years. Claude, who is fourteen years old, was arrested several days ago as being implicated with Claude Carter, sixteen years old, in the robbery of the S. C. Thompson store at Tenstrike, Cartar's case is yet to be disposed of, as he in- sists that he is innocent. Young Mastin was locked in the jail at Tenstrike but crawled out, only to be rearrested onjhis father's farm near that village where he had gone to ‘‘do the chores.” He is one of several children. He was brought to Bemidji and held as a witness against the Car- ter lad. He has freely confessed to being a thief, say the officers. His conduct at the county jail has been exemplary and he is regarded asan unusually bright youth. He has assisted in the return of the stolen goods. In court today he listened at- tively to a fatherly talk from Judge Stanton, who explained how the state, through its school at Red Wing, would seek to make a man of him, teaching him as much as possi- ble while there. “Can-a feller study at that joint?" asked the lad of the judge. “Indeed he can,” answered his honor, “and I hope you will improve the opportunity.” “Leave it to me, judge,” was the determined answer, Mastin claims that his education has been much neglected. Attorney Funkley appeared in court to enter the plea for the youngster. County Attorney Mc- Kusick represented the state. On a previous charge Claude, at a hearing yesterday had been held to the grand jury by Court Com- missioner Crowell, but because of the prisoner’s extreme youth, action was taken today on a new warrant charging the larceny of a suit case, suit of clothes and gold watch from a tent at Tenstrike, The boy will be taken to Red Wing tonight by Deputy Sheriff Rutledge.
