OW to Steal. Until Held Up While Rifling Sta- tion Drawer of $1.50 He Saw No Wrong. (Special to ‘The Brentng World.) MINEOLA, L. 1, Jan 3—A sad- Wearted youngster will leave here to- day for the Reformatory Industrial School at Rochester as soon as Jurtice Remsen pronounces sentence in Nassau County Court, The lad is fifteen-year- old Fred Dahiman, of New Hyde Park, who was captured at 4 o'clock Thursday a foorning in the act of robbing the cash BY drawer of the Long Island station at Floral Park. Fred Dahiman has always been @ pop- ‘lar boy in this part of the country. His plight {s looked upon with sym- pathy and indulgence, and “he Court Promises to be lenfent in his sentence. Wred'é offense is petty iarceny. He was arraigned before Justice Remsen yester- day on the complaint of A. E. Wilson, the rallroad detective, who made the ar- rést. Dahiman pleaded gullty to stealing $3.4 in four robberies perpetrated during the last four weeks. The boy explains his act on the ground of moral irre- sporsibility. “T must have had some weakness of mind,” he said to an Evening Worl re- porter to-day. “I know it is wrong to Z steal, but I didn't realize that in taking a @ little money from that drawer I was @ommitting a crime." Bred is a nice-appearing boy, well gtown and erect. He looks one straight tm the eye, like an honest chap, and his tone is sincere and convincing. Victim of Circumstances. ‘You see, I fell into a trap of ciroum- @tance about a month ago,’ he con- tinued. “I needed a little ready cash. T couldn't vory well wait for my wages © to come due. I knew that there was . money in the ticket agent's drawer— money to burn—that no one would be any the wiser for my helping myself to. I went down to the station that night, opened the door with a poker, forced open the drawer and helped myself to > 0 cents.” : It wasn't much to take, but It was ail Bred needed. Maybe he felt that he was just advancing himself a part of ils daily earnings. The boy has re- Bs @sived 65 cents a day from the railroad company for filling and caring for the station lamps. ¥¥ou see, that was four weeks ago,” ; ‘went on. “I just took the money and a it as I had to. It didn't seem lke = I wasn't worrying about taking Jong to me. I m thief. womething that didn’t must have been asleep. “Maybe if the money had been missed I might have felt queer. But nothing was ever sald, needed a fow extra cents. I guess it was the old devil that reminded me of the place to get it. He must have said, “The cash drawer wes a cinch.’ “Apyway, I went down there and got @ Wtle bolder.
