PLEAD GUILTY TO
BURGLARY CHARGE
MEN ARRESTED HERE TO SERVE
PENITENTIARY TERM FOR
ASOTIN BURGLARY.
Dan Sullivan and James McDonald,
two men arrested in Moscow, March
12, on a vagrancy charge, and taken
last Thursday to Asotin to answer a
charge there of burglary, both
pleaded guilty to the charge placed
against them when arraigned before
the superior court there is morning,
according to a telephone message
received by the Latah county sheriff's
office just before the noon hour today.
According to the Washington state
laws, a conviction on a charge of first
degree burglary carries with it a sen
tence of five years in the state peni
tentiary, and it is quite probable that
the men will receive a maximum
sentence at the hands of the Asotin
court, for both men are alleged to
have been implicated in several other
robberies and safe-cracking jobs in
this part of the country, and have
both been given jail sentences in the
state of Washington on previous occa
sions.
Burglarized Clothing Store
The two men were charged with the
burglary of the J. B. Pollard clothing store at Asotin, which occurred
there during past
Pollard identified several articles of
clothing worn by the men as part of
the loot taken from his establishment,
and finger prints of the men tallied
with those found on the safe and show
cases of the store.
They were arrested in Moscow,
March 12, after they  were seen hiding a quantity of nitroglycerine under the Northern Pacific Railway company's warehouse by two small boys, Alvin Hall and Frank Estes, who procured the explosive and turned it over to the county authorities.
