Harris fell in with two foreign boys Saturday night and all had a few drinks together, then, according to the boys, he offered to get them a job for $15 and they paid him the money and on Sunday morning he borrowed $5, which they made him give back a little later. Harris declared that he only got $2 from the job, that they spent $5 for booze and about $3 for a room. Following his arrest yesterday afternoon he admitted that he owed the boys $15 and was taken by an officer to several places where he tried to borrow money to pay them back.
