of Wales; 8 If Spain; s of West Indes; of Swift
zerland of Russia; Of China; 4 of Holland; of
POrtugali Of Sseden, aud 524 unknown. The pri-
mary cause ri l009i arrests may be traced 80 the
vicious habits of drinking intoxicating liquors to

for crimes Of high and dangerous nature, az showing
the vigilance and tact Of the members Of the Depart
ment. They are facts, and speak for themselves and

viii tend to inspire confidence in the present Orgsnixa
tion.

for attempting to commit Burglary, and lib for COM
uniting burglary 800 for grand larceny, l28 for pick
ing pockets " for passing and attempting 10 pass
counterfeit money, and IL for the high crime Of
Ger. Of the several murders committed during the
quarter, it is gratifying TO be able 10 state that but
one murderer has escaped arrest and he would probs
bly, have been arrested at the time if any alarm had
been given. a'lude to Felix Sanches, who so bru-
tally murdered his father-n.law, Herman Carnan on
the morning Of the 9Th Of January ia Sullivan street
and at the same time nearly killed his wife and mother
in-law. Tns occurred about O'Clock a. m. and vas
not knowp, except to the inmates Of the house and
they were afraid to give tho alarm, until about
o'clock, giving the murderer full time TO get out
OF the city. Greater efforts were made by the mann
bers Of the Department 10 effect the arrest OF this nm
natural murderer than have ever known before.
Cards were printed in the form Of an order from the
Deputy Superintendent and distributed TO each men,
Der or the iorce, giving an accurate description of
Sanches, and calling uron them their utn Dat ex-
ertions to effect his arrest. This PLAN II il meets
with your appreciation, will in future be adopted for
the apprehension of escaped murderers and o.hera
charged with high crimes.
