HELD UP IN PARK BY BOYS
Little Girls Declare They Were Victims Of Juvenile Highwaymen.
In a spot within full view of passers-by, a bold robbery took place on the banks of the lake in Patterson Park at dusk yesterday. Three small boys, two of whom are brothers, are locked in the Eastern Police Station awaiting a hearing this morning in the Juvenile Court, charged with the hold-up. The victims were two young girls.
The boys are Henry G. Harwarth, 7 years old, 1629 Lancaster street, and Seliski and Frank Baliski, 6, and 9 years old respectively, 1719 Thames street. The girls whom they are charged with holding up and robbing are Cecilia Donaldson, 8 years old, 2705 Eastern avenue, and Margaret Bell, 2641 Eastern avenue. Cecilia lost a gold bracelet valued at $10 and the other girl lost a gold necklace worth $5.50.
The girls said they went into the part for a walk about 6 o’clock and they wandered about the lake for nearly a half hour, when, passing from the southern extremity, they were confronted by these boys, who sprang into the pathway from the bushes.
The boys, say the girls, grabbed them and snatched their jewelry. Frightened by the cries of the victims, the juvenile highwaymen, it is said, did not linger for more plunder, but ran away. The girls’ cries were heard by Park Patrolmen Cadden and Gaughran. Patrolman Johnson, of the Eastern district, attracted by the confusion and the sight of three boys running, led the chase and caught the boys.
At the police station the youth made no statements.

YOUNGSTERS FACE JUDGE
Oldest Sent To St. Mary’s, Second Paroled, Third Goes Free.
The three youngsters of East Baltimore, who desiring to emulated the “heroes” of moving-picture scenes, “held up” two little girls in Patterson Park, robbing them of their jewelry, faced the Juvenile Court yesterday morning.
The trio are Frank Szyeski, 9 years old, and his brother, Bolec, 6 years old, 1719 Thames street, and Henry G. Markwordt, 9 years old, 1629 Lancaster street. Judge Williams heard the story of the boys and their victims, and as a result sent the 9-year-old Szyeski to St. Mary’s Industrial School until September 25. His 6-year-old brother was beneath the jurisdiction of the court and therefore allowed to go free. Markwordt was paroled because he stood by and watched the brothers commit the robbery, but took no active part.
The victims were Cecilia Donaldson, 8 years old, 2705 Eastern avenue, and Margaret Bell, 2641 Eastern avenue. Cecilia lost a gold bracelet and Margaret a necklace.
