THE JONES BURGLARY
Our readers will remember the daring
burglary committed upon the house of Mr.
Jones, on Greenmount avenue, a short time
since, full account of which was published in the
Exchange. We find the following relating to that
transaction in the New York Tribune of Yesterday:
"Mr. Jones made the affair known to the
police of Baltimore, but they were unable to trace
out the thieves, and the affair was about being for
gotten, except in the history of criminal matters
when Mr.. Jones received the following letter. post
marked New York:
''Mr. JoNEs-Dedr Sir-Having scene an account in
the papers at this City in your house think can inform
you something concerning the robry there is young
man in this City, by the of George Harlow no
orous thief but little known in this City who said in nv
presence he had one thousand dollars which he made
baltimore and what hard time he had OF it in the dark
he lives at No.Thrd Street think you had better have

gallery in new york. had better show this to the
detective of city and they will tell you what to do

JAMES BRADLEY
Mr.. Jones, after consultation with his counsel
sent the letter to Captain Walling. who placed the
matter in the hands of detectives King and Slowey
The house designated by number in Third street in
the letter, but which we have omitted on account of
some respectable families living on the premises
was closely watched and the character of the occu-
pants ascertained The officers finally apprehended
young man who gave his name as Harlow The
prisoner was conveyed to police headquarters. and
shown the above letter, which he said he wrote him
self. On the subject of the burglary nothing could
be ELECTED from him, and he appears inclined to be
moody, holding down his head to avoid the gaze of
the officers. His picture graceS the rogues gallery
and 1t is said that about year ago he was arrested
for stealing his own sisters clothing, in company
with another fellow.
Mr.. Jones was confronted with the prisoner, and
feels convinced that Harlow was one of the BURGLARS
who robbed him and attempted his life. The pris-
oner neither admits denies the matter and SAYS
he will accompany Mr.. Jones to Baltimore without
the usual requisition'
Yesterday Capt. Joseph Mitchell and Mr. Edward
Jones arrived in this city, from New York, with
Harlow in charge Justice McAlliser committed
him for Court.
