CARD PARTY “HOLD UP.”
BROKER .SHOOTS LAD. SAN FRANCJSCO, June 12. An amazing outbreak of juvenile crime has developed in other cities of the United States, as well as Chicago. Fred Harlow, a Hollywood broker, was giving a party when two bandits burst into the room. “Shell o.ut,” they ordered several men seated a.t a card table. One man complied by presenting his purse but Ernest Warden, president of a- Los Angeles paving company, put his hand in his pocket apparently to get his money, drew a revolver instea.' . and shot one bandit dead. The other robber fled followed by a fusillade from the. guests. When the mask was removed from tbe dead bandit there lay revealed a 17-year-old boy who. was later identified as Jack Morrison, a student of Loyola College. He was well supplied with money by wealthy and indulgent parents, who cannot suggest the reason why he should have resorted to crime to obtain casffi.
