BOYS ACCUSED IN RUSHVILLE THEFT HELD IN ROCHESTER
     A Monroe county grand jury is to consider the cases of Walter Hunt, 17, and Harold Finucane 18 both of Rochester, who were arrested in that city for the alleged theft of an automobile belonging to J.R. Hagaman. The cases of these youth are the first of the kind in which boys under 20 years of age have been implicated to go to the grand jury in Monroe county in a long time. Past records of the youths is said to be the reason they are to be treated more severely than other boys implicated in auto theft.
     Hunt and Finucane are well known to Ontario county authorities. On August 21, 1921, these boys were arrested in Buffalo by George E. Clohecy, then the under sheriff of Ontario county on complaint of Norman Fisher of Rushville. It developed that the youths had taken a Ford automobile from Fisher’s barn, and accompanied by another boy and a fifteen year old girl, both residing in Gorham, had taken a joy ride to Rochester, Buffalo, Niagara Falls and other western points. Hunt and Finucane were brought to the county jail here on August 21 and released a few days later on bail. Their cases were considered by the October grand jury but no indictments were returned owing to their youth and the fact that relatives had settled with Mr. Fisher for damages to his car.
