The members of the Daubtrry police
desperation and proficiency, but they
never before were tolled by a pretty
in escaping. A man who was wanted
on a charge of stealing the larger part
of the turkey fiiock owned by It farmer
liviunI near Ilrewatcr, N. Y. was well
within the grasp of a Danbury officer
and a New York State Deputy Sheriff,
Thursday night. when the quick wittedI
ness of an eighteen yearold girl. on
abled pun to attain the liberty which
enjoys.
The officer from New York state ar-
rived irr Dnubnry. and asked the as»
slstanco of the llanbury police force“
in finding the chicken thief. He had
a telegram, which was found near the
raided poultry yard, bearing the name
of Edward Thomas, and the address of
Sanford Station, Conn. Arrofllccr' was
detailed immediately, to accompany
the other to Sanford Station. and it
was midnight when the pair arrived at
their destination.
First, they visited the burn. where
they found nine turkeys which were
recognized as the ones stolen. Then
the officers went to the house, where
they knocked for admission. in a few
minutes the knock was answered by
a young girl. whose pretty face ex-
pressed surprise at a visit so late.
“Ho's up stairs," she replied. when the
officer's asked for the man. and, at
their request. she led tlIem to the up-
per part of the house. While ascend-
ing the stairs. a sound of breakink
alass aroused the suspicion of the of
ficors who hurried to the cellar, and
found that their quarry had planned
through a window, and escaped to the
woods. nearby.
Turning to the girl, the officers ac-
cused her of assistlnz the man to es-
caoe. "Certainly i did." she replied.
"What are you going to do about it?"
The officers were at first coins: to ar-
rest her for complicity. but directly
afterward decided to do nothing.
CURIOUS TYPE OF CRANK.
Those Who Confess Crimes They Nev-
er- COmmittod Annoy the Police.
“The most curious type or crank in
the world, in my humble opinion." said
an old police officer. “is the fellow who
makes a fake. confession. The outside
public has no idea how frequently that
sort of thing occurs. Whenever we
have a murder rrrvI'stery the authorities
are absolutely certain to hear from
one or more people who assert post
tivcly that they have committocd the
crime and whose stories are generally
self-evident fabrications. As a rule
the confession crank writes a letter.
and now and thou tho communications
are so pluuslblc and clrcumstnntiaI
that the police would be thrown coni-
plctcly off their track were it not for
the fil('t that they are always on their
guard for just that kind of false. loads.
it is very strange. and there seems to
be. absolutely no motive beyond an in-
sane. passion for meddling. Occasion-
ally the crank will present himself in
person and insist upon being locked up.
but his first few words will usually be-
tray hlm. and, unless he is violent, be
is quietly escorted to the door. A very
singular case of that klrrd took place
seven or eight. years ago in connection
with a mysterious murder in the ‘Ten-
derloin‘ district.
“One evening a young man who be-
iongod to an cxcelicnt family of this
city called at bondousrtcrs and astou-
islrod everybody by declaring ho bard
committed the crime. A little ques-
tioning showed that his story could not
possibly be true. and finally lro admitt-
tcd that llf‘ was lying. My curiosity
was highly excited. and, taking lrlnr to
om- sldc. i tried to draw from him the
reason that had prompted such an ex-
traordinary and dangerous piece of fol-
ly. He told me. with hysterical tears.
that he had brooded about the case and
found a strange and pleasurable cx-
citement in ‘maklug bcllcvc' that be
.was the man who had done the. deed.
That grew upon hlnr until. i suppose.
it became next door to an iruliuclna
Ii.orr At any rate. he could give no
other explanation. Of course. such a
man should have been placed under
restraint as II dangerous monomnnliu-
but the police have no facilities for
handling cases of this kind. and the
family were adverse to sending him to
an asylum. i see him frequently on
the streets. some few false confou-
alons are made for the deliberate pur-
posc of misleading the authorities.
and again. they are sometimes rustle
by prisouois solely to secure a trans
for to another city. it is a brand of
crankiuoss that might well interest a
specialist.“——Ncw Orleans 'l‘inIos-Dcrn»
