February 13, 1914 - Young Boy Arrested

Here is a newspaper clipping that I found. I wonder what became of that boy. I did find a little about the Commodore Hull school.

Young   Boy  Arrested.

Thomas Williams, a boy of thirteen years of age, was arrested Thursday afternoon by
Officer Nettleton because he was absent from school, Officer Nettleton acting as
truant officer during* the indisposition of Chief Robbing. It was learned that besides
playing truant the young boy has been thieving:, he' having gone through the desks of
the teachers in the Commodore Hull school and secured small amounts the total being
about $1.40. The lad also confessed to having committed other misdemeanors. The
hearing was set down for 2 o'clock, this afternoon owing to the fact that Prosecuting
Attorney Shapiro was engaged in work in the higher courts, this morning.

Sentinel Feb. 13, 1914

The school got it's name from Commodore Isaac Hull, born in that area of Connecticut.

More articles will follow as I sort thru papers.
