Student Burglars Prove `You Can't Trust Friends' Sometimes you can't trust your best friend, it has been said by some cynics and philosophers. These days, this is also being said by the friends and acquaintances of Barry Benson, William Verity and Edgar Earl Moyer Jr. The three students were convicted last week for a series of 23 burglaries in downtown State College and on campus, Estimates of the thefts' value range from $l6OO to $2OOO in goods and money. Students living in the same unit with Benson in Thompson Hall said they didn't suspect a thing. Although he appeared irrational and temperamental at times, he was liked by his fellow students in the residence hall Franklin Pierce, his counse lor, said "He seemed contented. played the part of a boy from a geed family, and was well mannered." "I was overwhelmed when I ! heard that he was connected with the burglaries," Pierce said. He 'added, "Benson was the last Der `son I would have suspected of such a thing." Benson's father is a vice presi dent for Acme Markets' Philadel phia branch. Perhaps the dormmate who clarified his statement with the remark that Benson was outward ly a good buy was the closest to the truth. The Pxclamations abou Ver ity's and Moyer's behavior I,,sem ble those made by Benson's friends. One student who knew all three boys said he doesn't think the seriousness of their acts has hit them vet. The stu dent, who is still shocked at their Ascausrips, Asked that his name be withheld. He did say that although they seemed like nice guys, they tend ed to he smart sleeks once in a while. He added lie thouffht Ben son was almost engaged.
