Description
Five Arrests made Five arrests were made by the local police during the early hours of this morning, three runaway boys, one man on a warrant and the fifth for a drunk and disorderly charge. The three hoys hailing from Stapleton, Staten Island, were picked up by Officer Anton Thullesen about 4:45 o’clock this morning and they will be held pending the arrival of the father of one boy who is a policeman. The father called Lieut. Andrew Jensen at headquarters this morning and suggested that the boys be put to work around the station house until he arrives. They range in age from 11 to 13 years. George Kelly of Hartford street was taken into custody by Officer William Selboth at the corner of State and Chauncey streets last night on a warrant sworn out by his wife charging assault and battery. He was held in $1,000 bail for grand jury action. On a drunk and disorderly charge, Fred Sutherland, a boatman, was arrested by Officer William Selboth at State and Lynd streets at 1 o’clock this morning. He was fined $10 with the privilege of working thirty days for the county instead.
