Homesick Lad Feared Jail- ing for” Crime He Didn't Commit Robert Carter, 16, leaned against @ railing at pier 1 Monday after noon and stared into the dirty, olly water swirling about the piling. His shoulders drooped. He was the picture of boyish despair. Rob. ert was dreaming of home. Policewoman Mrs. 5. A. Hun- sicker saw the lonely figure and became interested. What's the matter?’ she asked. “Nothin’,” he replied. But she Pressed him. “I'm homesick,” he finally admit: ted, after giving her a searching scrutiny. Then he told her his story. Three years ago he traveled with @ gang of boys in his home town at Grants Pass, Ore, who one night | conceived the idea of robbing a cigar store. It was partly boyish mischief, partly viciousness, per haps, which put the idea into (heir heads. FEARS ARREST BECAUSE FUGITIVE Robert told Mrs. Hunsicker that he took no part in the robbery But Grants Pass called his gang “bad boys,” And because Robert was one > the gang he was ac cused of the crime. He was just | & little boy of 13, He didn't stop to reason the thing out. Visions ef jail bars confronted him. He took what seemed the easiest way ‘out. He ran away. For three years he has been a bit of flotsam, a lonely little fug! tive, keeping a furtive eye on de- fective-looking persons, and © shun ning the police. Always bungry for a sight of his home folks—he lived with his aunt, his mother and father being dead—he worked when he could pick up odd jobs here and in Ta- coma and slept when he could find a dry spot. He ate when he could afford it or when somebody, struck by the mute appeal in the young fugitive’s eyes, took pity on him. “I WENT HUNGRY,” HE SOBS “I went hungry many and many ® night,” the boy told the police. ‘Woman, great sobs shaking him, as he gripped the railing. “And— and I got awful lonesome. But I was afraid to go back. I wasn't with the boys that night they broke Into the cigar store.” ‘His three years of vigilance broke down under the kindly sympathy of Mrs. Hunsicker, and he told er all of his troubles, She persuaded him to go with her to the police station. Thence late yesterday he found himself in the juvenile detention home, while Dr. Lilburn Merrill wired to the boy's felatives in the Oregon city and Confirme’ his story. Betwe.o Dr. Merril and Mrs. Hunsicker, the boy was made to @ee that, being innocent, he had nothing to fear. He @as made to Tealize that he had let his boyish imagination run away with him. eee Robert Carter is going back home, probably iate today. He no longer fears falls. Fis shoulders have straightened, and today.he looks a policeman squarely In the eye. "He'll go back now and show them that he had nothing to do with breaking Into that store,” Dr. Merrill said today. The boy wants to be a draughts- fan and after he hag finished the ‘one year he has yet to go In grade school he plans to take a special coursé to fit him for the goal of which te has Mways dreamed. that of becoming a draughting en- gineer.
