The East Liverpool Member of the Youthful Trio to Very Smooth Voviigoter According to the Pituburjfh Police?How fco&ecreCod the Bulk of the Money la a Shoe?Will I be no Proeeoatino. The lots of <250 by Darby OToole, of Beliaire, was kept very quiet there because of a desire to recover It If possible. On Monday OToole left tbe money upstairs at his home. Carroll Fox, a a youth of only thirteen years, has been stay in* at OToole'a and must have known of the money being there. At any rate he was not In bed Tuesday morning when they went to call him and this alarmed Mrs. OToole, who t sent for ber husband, who was busy at work. The money was gone and it was son learned that Edgar O'Malley and I Joe Brannen, two other boys, were also gone. Marshal Johnston was Informed and while getting his bearings a telegram was received from the Wheeling police, which told of the boys having been arrested at Pittsburgh. When Marshal Johnston got to Pittsburgh the t officers there had only found $13 85 on Brannen, $16 on O'Malley and $57 20 on Fox. He talked to the boys for a time . and after ridding them of fear of punishment, young O'Malley, one of whOBe shoes had a sole partially loose, picked up the shoe and flahed out a $100 bill and a $50 bill, making $236 05 of the $250. The boys were brought home, reaching ' Beliaire yesterday morning, and the matter Is fixed up without prosecution, two of the boys being nephews of fi O'Toole's and all beinv of tender uge. . The mix-up of two of the boys is a great surprise to all who know them. Of the boys* escapade yesterday's ru"-4??Utm thn fnllnn'InC! rilUUUigU UIS|li?I.U WBW .... ..... ? Three little boys and a big roll of ' bank bills came to town yesterday morning for the purpose of adding a dash of crimson to Plttsburgh'H color & scheme. Their little world had been ^ bounded by East Liverpool on one side and Bellalre on the other. Believing this sphere to be rather limited for en ) terpclses of a vermlllion .tint, one of them quietly lifted *250 from his uricle's 1 pocket?when the uncle wasn't'looking ?and generously paid the fares of the party from Bellalre . to Pittsburgh. Sergeant Thomas Sterck, of Central . police station, where the expedition IJ wound up, has profound respect for the cuteness of this latter member. Though only 13 years old, he eluded the1-sergeant's watchfulness In a manner that would have done credit to the slickest "gun* or moat accomplished "moll buzzer" among crooked gentry. For, in the matter of search, he contrived to stow away H50 on his person where the day sergeant overlooked It, and where It would have remained untouched, but for an accident. Sergeant Sterck has dealt with criminals of all classes and grades of cleverness. His voluntary p tribute to the astuteness of this urchin was expressed in the solemn phrase: "My, but you're a good 'un." The boys are Joseph Brannen, aged 15, of 2612 Union street, Bellalre, Ohio; Edward O'Malley, aged .15, of 1S1 Front street, Wheeling Island, and Carroll Fox, alias O'Malley, aged IS, of Broadway. East Liverpool. The latter car rled the money. He has been visiung , his uncle, Darby OToole. a stone contractor, of Bellalre. Ohio. On/Monday 3 he stole $260 In bills from one of his uncle's coats, and with his companions purchased tickets for Pittsburgh. There - was no definite purpose to the trip. They had a well-founded Idea that with the 1260 they could have a good time. One of them said he wanted to fee the Tenth regiment come home. This was the extent of the programme as mapped out when Officer A1 Teeters appeared on ^Officer-6"Teeters found the trio at Grant street and Second avenue about 10 o'clock yesterday morning. They were all well dressed and seemed to have no particular purpoae In being a there. Teeters questioned the bo>s. * was told sevral vague and conflicting a stories, and then he promptly called the ' patrol wagon. The boyB were locked * ud as suspicious characters. 3 At Central station they were search3 <x3. M usual. On Brannen wa? found - 113 85, on Carroll O'Malley 157 20. and on r Edgar O'Malley $15. The amounts were tabulated and credited to the small prisoners. After some questioning the 1 boys admitted that tber were from Bela lain. / Accordingly word was sent to " the chief of police of that place. In 1 answer to the telegram. Officer J. S. Johnston presented himself at Centra^ ^ station last night and demanded the / ^Office Johnston told thestory of the Y robbery and subsequqent flight of the boys.

He expressed surprlseat the small amount taken from the boys, as they would not have had time to spend much of the booty. ,**?. $100 bill and a $50 bill were In the rolL Sergeant 8terck heard this explanation and then said: . ; ? "Walt till I search them again. As Carroll O'Malley was supposed to havo taken the money, it being I that was robbed. Sergeant Sterck paid particular attention to him.

Tho perceant tried to And out who had put him up to the trick, but the boy was sl'?In fact the trio was very much ed and somewhat downhearted. Officer Johnston anchored a boy on each side of him placed one In front, and then started for the 8:30 train. It was then that Sergeant Sterck called after Carroll O'Malley. "You're a good un. "Will he be sent to Jail?" a bystandCr,,Ue ought to bo sent to bed," the sergeant responded, "and I'd like to spunk C him In the bargain." if Distinguishing colors for the marshals and aides for the Labor Day parade were adopted at a meeting of Chief Marshal Tlghe aiid his aides last night.
