As It Is Ours S. STANLEY HORVITZ, OPTOMETRIST OPTICIAN 327 MAIN STREET | BOYS STOLE $170 Mpyrtle Street Store Keeper Robbed But Recovers $105 Placed on Probation. Youngsters The most important case in the police court this morning was tried in chambers. It grew out of the theft of $170 from Nicholas Salenis a stare- keeper at 892 Myrtle street. John Corzon and Bardick Rzecmk are the two small boys sald to have com- mitted the theft, but Rzecuk returned the money to the storekeeper 500N after it had been stolen. When Rze- cuk returned the money the store- keeper blamed the Corzon boy for the theft and Policeman Anthony ‘Walenczius arrested him. According to Salentis the boys visited his store yesterday afternoon and, bought some sandwiches. About half an hour later Rzeuck returned ta the store with $105 in his hand, saying that the boy who was with him had stolen it from the store. He noti- fied the police that there was more money missing and an investigation started. Although Rzeuck blamed the theft entirely on Corzon, he is the elder of the two and the police are of the opinion that he may have advised his younger companion at least. The boys were locked up for a while and put on probation. Joseph Cassarino was before the court for a violation of the health ordinances. It was alleged that he threw some old shoes and leather serap in the rear of the Shupack block at 348 Main street. He explained that a boy in his employ had thrown the rubbish on Shupack’s property, Thursday unknown to him. He was discharged. The ocase of Waclaw Torlowski, charged with assault was continued until Tuesday morning while thase of John O’Neil, Jake Jennings and Frank Malano were continued until Saturday morning. Lawyers H. P. Roche and Irving Rachlin appeared for the defense in the latter cases and protested against the continuance, but a material witness is missing in the assault case in which the last three men are concerned and the police hope to round him up before the trial on Saturday.
