Girls Lay Downfall to South Bend Dance Halls.

In the arrest of Barney Grosman and Orville Demester, both less than 16 years of age, at Monon, the police have corailed all of the fifteen boys and girls who operated in South Bend as a gang of burglars, robbing central and east business districts of that city. The boys will be put on trial this week. It is estimated that the youthful thieves obtained plunder to the value of $1,200 during the three months of their operations. The girls, of whom there were four, lay their downfall to the public dance halls, where they met the boys.
