Boy Raffles' Aide Is Sent to Prison
A youth who accompanied a schoolboy Raffles on the last of 22 suburban robberies was sentenced to from 18 months to three years in State Prison yesterday.
The "model" youth who played "lone wolf" in all but one of the robberies and attempted thefts in which he was implicated was sent to Rahway Reformatory.
A third youth who accompanied the other two on one of the "jobs" received a suspended sentence to Rahway.
Charles Lynch, 17, of 748 Carman street, who police said confessed to 22 robberies was sentenced by Judge Baldwin to the reformatory because he had no previous record. James Scavetta, 20, of 209 Cypress avenue, Woodlynne, was sentenced to prison for participation in one robbery because, police said, he had been before the court before.
