On Tuesday morning the wife of the station t at Lisbon came here and in Chief Murphy’s office saw th> four v ‘men who had been held here mméf' suspicion of having broken into. the Lisbon ‘station Sunday night. She thought they looked like the same ones she gaw, but did not _fezl positive enough o go on the stand and swear to it. There were.220 pennies taken from the station and six tickets. A hole was broken in & window and the catch turned, after which the grating in front of ths ticket window was taken out. Superintendent Gardner and assist- ant of the Rhode Island state reform- atory came here on Tuesday morning and identified the boys as the ones who had escaped from the reformatory last Thursday morning and for whom h had four men searching ever since in autos. They got out of a third story window by means of a hose pipe. Three of the boys, whose right names are Max Patton, Mert Corcoran and Shubert, were in the reformatory untii 21 years of age for peity theft while Isadore Petrofski, who was the leader was there awaiting trial in the superior court for two burglaries. He js a bad charactsr and has the making of a desperate criminal. He will now be kept in jail until tried. An agent of the raiiroad came here in the afternoon. but he had no evi- dence to prove that the boys wers the cnes who broke into the station. al- though it is believed there is no doubt about it. but the proof is lacking. Tt was therefore decided that as they would have to stay in.-the reformatory several years and that Petrofaki would probably get from three to five vears for his bad work that it was best to allow the boys to go with the Rhode Isl- and officers, and they left by troliey for Westerly at 2.45. Superintendent Gardner left Chief Murphy a check for 320 before departing, which will go into the police pension fund. He was great- Iy pleased with the chief’s work In the matter.
