I identified by AI Blueinthal as stolen
from his store at 492t South Twenty
sixth street Wednesday night. He
was arrested at 2:30 yesterday morn
ing.
Burns and Johnson, now sought,
were arrested November 17 In con
nection with the theft of 20 watches
from tho jewelry store of Al Babior,
1210 South Thirteenth street. They
served 10 days each for vagrancy, ac
cording to police, while a third youth
who was arrested with them, took all
the responsibility for the burglary.
Rung See, 4628 South Twenty-fourth
street, was badly beaten when he at
tempted to halt the robbery of his
laundry Thursday night. A bloody
ball bat and torn and bloody laundry
gave mute testimony to the struggle
he had with the thugs who nibbed
him. He was unable to talk and is
said to lie in a critical condition at St.
Joseph hospital.
Yet Sing. 4821 Sou/. Twenty-sixth
street, also was robbed of $50, but
suffered no violence.
Max Fetherston. roomer at 2917 11
street, was shot by the three thugs as
they met him on the stairs of the 11
afreet house when they apparently
went there to divide their loot.
They must have mistaken him for
someone trailing them from the rob
beries. police believe, and opened fire
Immediately.
Fetherston fell wounded twice in
the abdomen and once in the head. |
Surg^jms attending him at St. Joseph
hospital say he has an even chance
for recovery.
