Four Young Men Said to Have Confessed Thefts Said to have confessed to robbing their employers, the S. C. Childs Company, Charles Young, 20 years old, of 233 Beckett street; John Cross, 20 years old, of 225 Sycamore street; John Thompson, 20 years old, of 116 Mt. Vernon street, and Francis J. Bunker, 35 years old, of 1018 South Second street, were arrested in Camden yesterday by Detective Painter and held in $500 bail each by Recorder Stackhouse. A woman is also said to have been implicated, but on account of having several small children she was not prosecuted. All four of the defendants were employed by the company in its large warehouse at the foot of Walnut street, and it is alleged by the police that they schemed to steal and dispose of provisions stored at that place. The complaint against them was made by George R. Pelouze, treasurer of the concern.
