Martin confessed the whole story and told the officer be had token the man who was robbed Into a house on L street near fid helped to get him drunk and then started out with him On going a short distance the boy said the two Greeks came up behind toe drunken man garroted him and robbed him whereupon the latter called loudly for help and tbs boy ran away On being confronted with the parties under arrest they were recognized by the man who had been robbed as the persons who hid garroUd and robbed him The latter gave his name as Robert Pruett and said he had only come in from Brighton yesterday afternoon The amount stohn from Pruett was about $50 most of which was recovered by the officers.
I didn't find much genealogy information on any of them. But I wanted to write about them because of the crime and mystery as to who they were and why this 15 year old boy was running around with 2 Greek men. Were they all related in someway, or just running the streets together trying to survive?
