Railroad Car Looters Get Stiff Jail Terms

RAILROAD CAR LOOTERS GET STIFF JAIL TERMS Police Judge Lewis Liberman yesterday handed out two of the stiffest terms since he went on the bench when he sentenced two thieves to a total of one year each in jail. The prisoners are Daniel Paulk, 21, of 1828 Salem street, and Clyde Thomas, 23, of 117 New street, Philadelphia. After their arrest by railroad detectives for loitering, they admitted stealing and selling two bundles of mattresses and several bales of rags from a railroad freight car on Van Hook street near Seventh, Sept. 17. Judge Liberman sentenced them to six months on each count, the sentences to run consecutively. Lucius Robinson, 21, of 903 Ferry avenue, arrested with Paulk and Thomas, was exonerated of the thefts, but despite a record of 18 arrests he had not listed himself with the bureau of criminal registration and was sentenced to six months for that. Detective Gus Fortune, who obtained the confessions from Paulk and Thomas, said he will arrest the person who purchased the stolen goods from them.
