Bound Over to Superior Court
Charlotte, June 29—Ralph Hollars, 17, who police here say has confessed to the burglar of 26 homes in Charlotte during the past few weeks, and removing jewels and other valuables estimated at between $3,000 and $4,000 in value, was among those scheduled to come up in recorder’s court here today. He is a son of a barber in this city.
Relatives and others who have known him for years came to his defense, saying he had never been a normal boy. His mother said he had been subject to nervous disorders from an early age, and had thereby been prevented from attending school.
