YOUTHS CONFESS 105 ROBBERIES Police Have Three Young Pris- oners Who, They Say, Have Been a Plague to the Upper West Side. LOOTED UNGUARDED FLATS. Chased and Caught After a Robbery on Eighth Avenue, They Boast of Their Doings, Their Captors Three youths who have confessed, the police say, to over a hundred flat rob- berles within the past three months on the upper west side, were arraigned in the West Side Court to-day and bound over for examination. The prisoners were Frederick Scott, of Montreal, Can.; Charles Gallagher, Albany, and Edward Ides, of N Eaet One Hundred and Twent street. Thelatterwas Identified b police as “Englisa Kid," who was re- cently discharged from the House of Refuge. Each is eighteen years of age. From what they told the police, they have carried cff $10,000 worth of booty in the few months they have been operating. Scott and Gallagher came here in gearch of work but found flat robbery easier, They struck up an acquaintance mith “English Kid" and the police think @ fourth member of the gang ‘s “Whitey” Green, a well known thief. How They Dia It, Their method, according to the!r con- fession, was to watch a flat house until they located an apartment where the family was out. They would then ring the bellof that flat to make sure no one was at home and then, by ringing a bell to another apartment they would gain access to the house. Once in the hallway It was easy with knives and skeleton keys to enter the apartment desired, Only seven pawn tickets and some cheap jewelry was found on the gang, but they were liberally supplied with money. The police think that after they Pawned their swag they tore up the tickets as a matter of precaution. While the prisoners talk freely of their movemests before and since last Friday night and Saturday morning, they ob- stinately refuse to say where they were during that period. This reticence, €0 strangely at variance with their volt- bility as to other times, has caused the police to suspect that they may be con- nected with the murder of Poilceman Maurice Ahearn, of Now Rochelle, and the authorities of that place have been Botified to send and look them over, Caught After a Chase. The men were arrested yesterday {n connection with the robbery of the fat of Mrs. Mary Moyna, of No. 273 West Fifty-second ‘street, Mrs. Moyna was sitting near a window yesterday when saw four young men enter the hall- y which leads up to her flat as well as into the saloon below. She thought | the young men were going into the sa- loon and paid little attention xo thein. Later she heard a noise in the nal, ani, looking out, saw two young men. She asked them thelr businéss and one of them said he was looking for a man named Smith, Mrs, Moyna noticed that the door of one of her lodgers’ tooms was open, and investization ghowed that the place had been robbed. About twenty minutes later Mrs. Moyna was looking out of a window facing on Eighth avenue when she saw two of the young men on the opposite aside of the street. They were not the two she had seen in the hall, she says, but were among the four who first en- tered the hallway. She went down to the raloon ‘of William Daly, on the grount floor, and told Mr. Daly, and he walked across the street toward them. When they saw him the young men geparated, one going north on Bighth ayenue and the other west, on Fifty- aecond street. Daly pursued, ang Po- liceman Allen, of the West Forty-sec- ond street station, joined In the chase. The young man, who afterward sald he was Frederick Scott, was caught at Ninth avenue, By that time fully two hundred people had joined in the chase. Gallagher and Ides were arrested late, Detective Carlin says that Gallagher confessed to him taat he had held up @ man in his own room on East One Hundred and Sixteenth street on Sun- day might and robbed } and robbed him.

Tells the Police W ere He Disposed of Plunder Accumulated During the Last Six Months and Esti- mated at $5,000. (Special to The Evening World.) WHITE PLAINS, June 23.—William Stevens, former butler for Marion 6tory, portrait painter, clubman and horse- show exhibitor, who was captured by ‘Ms. Story in his manor house at Port- chester on the Sound stediing his stlver- ware and miniature paintings, was taken to White Plains Jail to-day by Chief of Police Donovan and locked up to awatt n of the Grand Jury, of West- chester County, The jury ts now in ses- sion and will make a record case by !m- mediately indicting the prisoner, and he will be tried within thirty days. Stevens says he comes from an old German family, and that his father served in the Kaiser's army, and was an officer at one time, He told Chief Donovan to-day where he disposed of the plunder, worth about $6,000, which was stolen from the Story mansion dur- Ing the last six months. Miniature por- traits of a family, which Mr. Story painted fora millionaire New Yorker, he sold to a pawnbroker for a mere song, While other pictures he gave away. away. Searles Settles for $500, William Searles, a conductor on the New York and Stamford Railroad, who was arrested through a case of mistaken identity In conneotion with the burglary and then honorably discharged, settied to-day for $500 with Mr. Story, through his lawyer, David H. Hunt, of White Plains, Mr. Hunt got Mr. Searles to immediately deposit the money in the Mutual Trust Company, at Portchester, and Mr. Story told him if at any time he needed assistance té call on him. “It was really a case of mis- taken dentity," said Lawyer Hunt. "Stevens and Searles are about the same size and the hat found in the house that had been robbed fitted Searles as well as Stevens and on the inside band was the Initial ‘W.' The burglar a female servant saw running away several nights ago from the house had on light colored trousers. Ste- vens wears light trousers and so does Searles, On the other hand Mr. Searles established a complete allbi, and yet he was held until Mr. Story happened to capture his old butl The thought it was the man who had been arrested and had escaped, and when he got to the station house and saw the resemblance he was dumfounded and apologized profusely to Mr. Searles. A Woman's Mistake. It was one of those cases of mi=- taken identity made by a woman. A servant in the house swore Searles w: the man she saw leaving the Story man- slon and at whom she fired four sho yet the burglar turns out to be a di Gharged butler. It is another case like Magistrate Crane showed up where women often make serious mistakes im identify!
