The jury's verdict was for petty larceny and a few mouths in the county prison will be the penalty. It is likely that the other lad will plead guilty to petty larceny to-day.In the course of the trial a rather unique plot was laid bare. The offense was theft of took and building material from a house in course of construction on the South Side and was committed early in the year. The plunder was carried to a ranch southeast of the city. Wm. Crouch, stepfather of the boys and owner of the suburban place, wfts arrested.
