TUESDAY, MAY I1, 1909 ARRESTED FOR ROBBING DEPOT Because it is claimed that he ed too much to children Thomas McGinley, a former Centralia constable, was arrested on Saturday charged with robbing the Centralia station of the Lehigh Valley Railroad by J. H.

Tempest, a special officer in the employ of the company. The policeman suspected that he would be rescued by his friends if he was placed in the Centralia lockup, and spirited him to Tamaqua, where he was kept until Sunday evening, when he was taken to Mount Carmel, and kept there over night. On Monday morning he was taken to Bloomsburg in default of bail to await trial at the next term of court. Before the officer arrived at Bloomsburg, however, the prisoner's brother, who lives in Centralia, had heard of his arrest, and went to Bloomsburg to go on his bail bond. He got there ahead of the officer and his man, and when an application was made to the court no one knew anything of the prisoner.

Sheriff Ent was called and he said he hadn't received the man at the jail. Finally Tempest arrived with his man, having come in on a later train, and the bail was arranged and McGinley released. At Saturday's hearing of the four boys from Centralia on charges of robbing a freight car, Anthony Kubilis, one of the youths, testified that McGinley had told him that he had robbed the station. It was upon this information that the arrest was made. WILLIAM ALLEN SERIOUSLY HURT William Allen, residing at the Richards, engineer on the electric locomotive on the Richards No.
