McDade was apprehended and locked up IN the
Fourth Precinct Station-IIouse. Mr.. Baker at once
entered into particular examination of the premises,
and soon obtained facts enough to convince nun that
McDade was the guilty party. IL appears that ON
Thursday night last McDade came out OF the store by
a back room door which led into the hall, leaving his
brother Philip, boy about seventeen years OF age,
and man Iamed James Coda IN the back room,
where they usually slept. The boy and Coda re-

stuck on the framework which supported number Of
casks, the candle being placed between two OF the

ises was exhibited to several persons without the
knowledge OF McDade. On Friday night Philip, being
afraid TO sleep in the store, went TO Codas lodgings
Coda kept sharp lookout and on Saturday morning
saw the candle Just as be had left it, and up TO this
time no one having spoken limited Of the matter to
McDade he supposed that the candle went out OF Its
own accord
On Saturday night McDsde closed his store earlier
than was his custom, ard saying something about
thieves directed Philip TO barrcade the street door
with barrels Philip was also sent into the back yard
and told TO close the shutters which was never before
done. When the boy went out McDade was behind
the liquor counter. Philip did as directed, and re-
urned just as McDade had put out the gas in the
store and looked the door leading from the store to
communicating with the hall. Philip blew out the
light in the bedroom, when McDade locked Che door,
and both left by the private entrance. IL was now
after ~ O'clock and McDade and Philip walked to the
corner of South street and James slip, where they
parted company, McDade giving the boy money to
cross the ferry, and bidding him go home. Philip
rays he went home as directed. About half an hour
