arrested Sunday nltht. several hours
after the arrnet of Weaver, who poUoea
aay la the leader of the alleged gang.
Ae more and mora of the robberlea
of the last three months appear to be
r I oared up by the eoti femtone of Wearer,
tte coop which police have effected as
one of the biggest burglar catches In
recent years.
Until police connected the activities of
the o'clock burglar with Wearer, they
were working on the theory that ha was
the same man who earned the nam
of the "talkative burglar" a year ago,
ee the earmarks of the two eerlea of
crlmea corresponded In many details.

the man. Weaver was In the peniten

core .
VAXES HEAB BECOIID
"i Aside from the talkative burglar's rec
ord, the sertee of IS burglaries per
poirated six months ago by Pearl Oood,
17-year-old girl. Is the only other activity
of a alngle-burglar In recent years which
parallels In magnitude the number of
prowia which are credited to Weaver.
And Peart Oood did not work armed to
the teeth, but rather depended upon
entering houses when the occupants were
ajpeent.
With the confessions obtained from
Weaver, police believe they have cleared
up all the burglaries of which ha can be
acusal.
Considerable Jewelry and clothing was
ix-evered by police, Monday from the
elder McMoales room at the Byron
hotel. Pawnshop recoveries also have
been affected. Several daya mors, will
