STOP SERIES OFTHEFS
BROTHERS LIVING IN JENNINGS
LODGE, CONFESS TO TAK
ING OF ARTICLES
A long series of petty thieves in Jen- '
nings Lodge is thought to have been
broken up by the arrest of Frank
Jones, age 14 years, and Clyde Jones,
age 11 years, by Juvenile Officer Frost.
The two boys are sons of Mrs. Jennie
Jones, a widow, of Jennings Lodge.
When it became known Monday that
the boys were under suspicion and that
a thorough search of the house would
be made a number of persons called
up Justice Slevers and District At
torney Hedges and described small
articles which had been missed In the
last few weeks. Included in the list
were such things as a bicycle, two
fountain pens, clothes and other arti
cles. Officer Frost made a thorough
search of the house Monday evening
but was not able to find any ot the
missing articles.
The first clue which would lead to
the identity of the person who had
been carrying on the petty thievery
was the report of W. J. Wilcox last
Friday, that hit watch and chain had
been stolen. Officer Frost, at the sug
gestion of Wilcox, secured a search
warrant and went through the house of
Mrs. Jones. After spending several
hours in the search, Officer Frost
found the missing Jewelry in a chicken
incubator.
Since Friday the officials have kept
a close watch on the boys, and Monday
afternoon Officer Frost brought them
to Oregon City when District Attorney
Hedges took them through a severe
grilling. Beside the watch and chain,
the boys acknowledges to the district
attorney that they had taken a pair of
lineman's cltmlng Irons, dynamite caps
and several plecs oft a steam engine.
