TEACHER'S 'HUNCH' O. K. AS PUPIL TAKES $6 Rafael Petito, 10, of 237 Pine street, started out to have a good time with $6 belonging to his teacher, but wound up in the Detention Home because the teacher proved to be a good detective. Yesterday Police Judge Pancoast sent him back to the Detention Home after hearing the teacher, Jane Baker, 203 East Clinton avenue, Oaklyn, tell how she found Rafael in a movie theatre Tuesday night. The boy is a pupil in Miss Baker's class at the Central School, Fourth and Washington streets, and didn't return for the afternoon session Tuesday. Miss Baker's $6 was in a purse in her desk which she missed at noon. Miss Baker had a "hunch" her pupil might be located in a movie show and sure enough that's where Petito was found. She turned him over to the police.
