At Aldrich Home,
Esplanade Store
By FLOYD HENDRKKStt
Record Staff Writer
Cuero police have arrested a
Cuero youth in connection with
breaking into of Cuero Hospital
Administrator Riley Aldrich’s
home at 909 Frederick-Wllliam
on July 13.
The youth was Identified by
Police CTrief Richard Hogue as
Kenneth Enochs, 18, of 503 Aran-
sas. Hogue said Enochs admit-
ted to breaking into Aldrich’s
home on July 13. but denied he
had anything to do with a pre-
vious break-in.
In the July 13 break-in, 20
silver dollars, three dollars in
bills, two rolls of pennies, two
belts, five shirts, a pair of cuff-
links and some foreign money
was taken. Police recovered the
stolen articles from Enochs’
residence, Hogue said.
Enochs reportedly went to the
Red Dot Store and exchanged
the stiver dollars and rolls of
pennies for currency, Hogue
said. He said the store then
paid soda water distributor Joe
Garcia for an order with nine of
of the silver dollars and Garcia
turned the money into his firm.
Aldrich got information that the
firm had received the silver
l dollars and after a check, it
i was determined that the money
was that stolen from Ws house.
Hogue said the Red Dot Store
management identified Enochs
as the person who brought the
silver money Into the store.
Enochs was freed after post-
ing a S2.500 bond on a charge
of breaking and entering. Hogue
said.
The nolice chief also reonrted
that 18-year-old Roger Macias
was charged with theft under 850
and was freed on S500 bond.
The charge. Hogue said, stem-
med from the youth’s admitting
to breaking a window at the
Green Garden store on Esplan-
ade last Friday about midnight.
Taken from the window was
nine fifths of whiskey. Hogue
said Macias and Ms companion,
a minor, Md the whiskey. He
added that when H was recove
ered, toe whiskey bottles show-
ed no sign of being opened.
The minor was not identified.
He was charged with juvinile
delinquincy.
Macias was charged with
thelf under SO which is a mis-
demeanor. Hogue said he
“committed a felony” but ‘‘since
it was a first offense, we low-
ered toe charge.” He added
