without making the least noise, and upon walking down
stairs, and opening the front parlour door, saw to their
great surprise the two prisoners playing a game of back-
gammon. They were sitting together on a sofa, and had
a backgammon table between them. One of them in-
instantly started tip and said, " NVe'll make no resist-
ance." They accordingly submitted quietly. On ex-
atnination it was found that the house had been Tans-ticked
from top to bottom, and some plate that had been tied
up in a small bag was found on the table. In the hag
were several spoons, which Mrs. Kahl had left locked
up in a cupboard. In different parts of the house were
found an extensit e assortment of phosphorus and snatches.
One of the keys which lay out the table opened the ball
door, joist as if it had been made fur it, from which it
was presumed that the thieves had entered at that door.
Several of Mrs. Kahl's neighbours who had come for-
ward to her assistance confirmed the most mportatit parts
of her statement. _ _
