Crouch of 1217 Tenth street was arrested yesterday by Detectives Thompson and Mans- field. Suspicions of the detectives were aroused when Mrs. Bowman, mother of the boy, after summoning them, told them that the boy had been brought home intoxicated yesterday by a man who refused to’give his name. The man, according to Mrs. Bowman, =aid that he had found Oscar in the hands of hold-up men, who were attempting to take his watch and chain. He tendered the watch and chain to her. After Bowman recovered, the detec- tives questioned him, and finally learned that he had gone to deposit $200 savings with a bank yesterday, but en route had met Dominic Rosa, a neighbor, and Willlam Brown, 16, of the Stanton Apartments. After depositing $100, instead of $200, the three visited Crouch’s apartment and asked him to procure liquor for them, according to the story Bowman told the detectives.
