months. For weeks Charles Lynch, 17, of 748 Carman street, played the role of a "lone wolf" in burglarizing homes in Collingswood, Westmont, Haddonfield and Woodlynne, later taking on a confederate, according to a confession made to City Detectives Clifford Carr and Clarence Arthur. Lynch robbed to obtain sufficient funds to pay $300 for his education at the Lincoln Preparatory School, 717 Spruce street, Philadelphia, he told Carr and Arthur. He enrolled a year ago for a night course but when he turned burglar he obtained enough money from the loot to change to a day course so that he might continue his robberies at night, Lynch told police. He has never been arrested before.
