Conlon this morning se- | verely condemned the lack of pgr- ental restraint which had resulted in | the arraignment of 10 boys, ranging in age from nine to 14 years, for petty thefts and had brought them into court on charges of theft and breach of the peace. Agreeing with the grand juror, Justice M. O. Ryder stated that he had no doubt of the guilt of all 10, but he continued their | cases until 1 o'clock Saturday after- | noon, January 26, issuing strict or- | ders that the boys must meantime turn over a new leaf and become model youngsters in their action or face the alternative of terms in a re- form school. i The hoys were arrested last week Constable George Schubert after had admitted to him that they 2d committed the thieveries of which they were accused. Seven are pupils at the Broad street school and three are in junior high school. | Two hoys were charged with nu-| merous thefts, one, represented by his mother, pleading guilty, and the | ofher, of whom Truant Officer Ed- | ward ) R. Madeley was appointed | guardian ad litme, denying the charge at first. The other eight were charged with breach of the peace, | and the court appointed Principal Orrin L. Judd of the Broad street school as their guardian. Constable Schubert told of the ad- ons of the two most serious of- According to their own stories, he said, they had taken fruit and cigarettes from various stores in Plainville, money from the pop- corn machine at the Hayes & Mar- ino store on West Main street, flash- lights and other articles from auto- mobiles parked outside the strand r, four toy airplancs from a store, and three valuable hters and two hoxes of from §. J. Castle’s store. Further, in order that they might rob parked autos in darkness, they| had smashed lights about the thea- tor, he stated, The other eight formed a gans, Constable said, and had been sted on a complaint by George e Witt that they had entered the old Community theater building, yansacked it, and destroyed a_quan- {ity of things. They also had been in the habit of steallng cigarcttes and hiding them by the red barn behind the Sequassen block, he sald, returning later to smoke them. Mr. Judd took the stand and said {he boys hud been reprimanded by Schubert on severa occasions in his presence, They were all good in school, he stated, and he blamed late hours for their trouble. One boy said a few words and the mother of of another told the court <he had not known her boy was tak- ing things. Percy Williams, cmployed by Mr. DeWitt, testified that he had caught one of the eight leaving the Commu- nity building with his pockets stuff- od with pads. ink. and books, and had finally run him down. “If they are petty thieves now, what will they be in two or three years?" agked Prosccutor Conlon in presenting his argument to the judge. “There ought to be some way fo keep them off the streets, and §f persist in running wild they sent to reform school. Their parents are to blame. They ought to keep them in the house, not let them 2o running about the streets where they can form gangs and do thes things” Lamenting the lack of & jnvenile court or probation officer, Attorney Conlon said, “We are where we we 100 years ago and have no adequate way to handle these boys except 10 send them to re- form sehool, a thing we do not want fo do.” In concluding, he shook his finger at the hoys and warned them, | “Wateh your p or you'll all be | down in Meriden.” The justice said he was convine- d of the guilt of the whole ten.

Faulty wiring is believed responsible for the fire, which broke out in the second floor apartment, occupled by Clifford Lee and family. The Lees were away in Winsted for the holidays. The flames spread rapidly through the upper floor and ate holes through the flooring. Pleces of this fell updn the bed in which twe of the Santucci children were sleep- ing, and the heat awakened them. They then rounded by flaming bits of wood and rushed out to rouse the family. Had they slept a few moments longer; & bed in the room above would have crashed through the floor and land- ed on themn, The fire company responded promptly to the alarm and laid twe lines of hose to * the smoke-filled house. It required an hour and a half to stamp out the last spark: the fire having gained great head- way and being prevented from aweeping the entire building only by the excellent work of the firemen.

They found the woman ac- tually operating a still and also dis- covered 125 gallons of mash and five gallons of alcohol. No testimony was presented to- | day. Grand juror Charles F. Con- lon summed up the case against Mrs. Litenski, but said it was her first offense and her reputation was good. He recommended a minimum penalty. The justice fined her $50 on each of two counts—manufacture and keeping with intent to sell. Because the house is jointly owned and because Litenski working at the time of the raid, no count was brought against him, produced a big roll, paid the $138.70 and walked out with his wife only a few minutes after court began, ngagement Announced The engagement of Meyer Sncide- man, son of Mr. and Mrs. A, Sneide- man of Whiting street, to Miss Pauline Weiner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Weiner of 35 Adams street, Hartford, was announced last cvening at a supper given in Silver- berg's restaurant, Hartford.
