while they were in the Nor-walk lock-
up, and who succeeded in sawing the

On the night of the 20th of last
March, the shoe store of William ”R.
Gilbert, situated at 195 Washington
street, was entered and nearly all the
tools, besides a large amount of stock.
was taken, .
The police had suspicion that Tun-
ner and Henry Schultz. the latter also
having a bad record. Were implicated
in the thieving. They were unable to
fix the blame. Yesterday Chief of P0-
lice William Vollmer received some in-
formation to the effect that the stolen
property belonging to Mr. Gilbert was
in the house occupied by Frank Bur.
tram in Water street.
He. with Constable Samuel C. Ire
land, went to the house for the purpose
of making a. search. Officer lrelsnd
stationed himself in the roar. while
the chief went in the front entrance.
To the lstter's surprise. there was
Tanner and Schultz. When they saw
the officer of the law, Tanner rushed
down the back stairs and directly into
the arms of Officer lreland. Schultz
went up stairs. Tanner was turned
over to the chief and [reload went in
search of Schultz. As the officer
emerged from the rear to the side of
the side of the house. there was a
crash. Looking up he saw a man flv‘
ing through the air. it was Schultz,
who had jumped out of the second.
story window. When he struck the
ground. Ireland was within three feet
of him. but his foe caught an obstruc-
tion and he fell. Schultz got away.
He was in his bare feet and was with
out cont vest or hat. '
Constable lreiand then entered the
house and placed young Frank Bar<
from under arrest. lie was also plac-
ed in the lockup on suspicion of being
implicated in the burglary. lie plead
not guilty to the charge and was put
through a rigid cross-examination by
both Judge and Prosecuting Attorney
Joseph R. Taylor. The young mun
was firm and did not contradict him-
self. He said that he is a member
of Company F. C. N. (L, and that on
the night of the burglary he was of
drill. lie said when he got home.
Tanner and Schultz were in the house
along with the other members of the
family. They had the stolen goods.
He said that he knew they were stolen
and that he helped to secrete them in
a bureau. where they were‘at the pres-
ent time. As Bartram was an acces-
. sory to the crime in concealing stolen
goods, he will be tried at 2 o'clock this
afternoon as being one of the princi
pals.
Tanner told how the place Que en-
tered on that night. lie said that
Schultz and another young man were
with him. The putty was removed
with a knife and u pane of glass taken
out. He said that SChlllCZ and the
other fellow. whose name he would not
b divulge, entered the place. while he
remained on guard. After they had
secured the goods, they Were taken to
the house of Bartram. llc said Burt
ram was not with them. and he did not
come in until a few minutes after they
entered the house. He corrroborutml
the statement of Bartram. that the
latter had been at drill.
After the town court adjourned this
morning in South Norwalk, the indict-
ment of burglary against Frank nur-
tram was changed to larceny. The

mcn Cunnnings and Moclair were
told that the two women were in

peralc efforts to reach the fifth
floor by the regular stairway. but
flames rushed them back. Then
they rushed up to the fifth floor of
the next house. and over the fire
escape to the front windows of

FIRE AND ROBBERY
AT ARLINGTON
ARLINGTON, Mass, April 29
«Fire was discovered in the attic
of the. town hall. hero, early this
morning, and while the attention
of the firemen and the police was
directed to putting out the blaze
robbers entered the office of the
town clerk, on the erect floor of
the building, forced open the safe.
and secured $1,200. The fire calls.
or! a damage estimated at about
$2,000. There is a theory that the
fire was set in order to attract the
attention of the police from .tbc
town clerk’s office, which is direct-
ly opposite “the quarters of the po—
hcc, department in the town hall.
The burglars left no clue. It was
nearly two hours after the fire had
been put out when the officials, in
making a tour of the building to
ascertain how for tile wafer had
reached, entered the town clerk's
office, and found the safe door
wide open. A hasty examination
showed that the door had been
forced and that $1,200 of the
town’s money had been claimant~
ed. Certain sums of money in the
safe which did not below to the
town had not been distur ed. and
other property was found in its
place intact. These factslcd to
the opinion that the robbery must
have been committed by some one
familiar with the office.
