| A PREcocIus YoUTH.-SOme time ago the keys be-
longing to William Henry, proprietor OF grocery
store No. 22j Delaney street, were taken from MS
pautaloons poke. during the night the trunk opened
and so in gold taken therefrom Who took the money
no one knew, and Mr.. Henry was at loss whom to
sutpect. The Developments of few days cau'ed
| suspicion to fall upon boy named John McDavitt,
con of the landlady with whom Henry boarded. John
was followed to the Bowery Thester every evening,
and thence, between the acts to the hquor ss-
looms in the neghborhood where he was observed to
spend money most lavishly. He would call for adrnk
and throw down quarter Of a dollar in payment
therefor, aud leave the place without taking
his change. The conduct Of the fast youth attracted
the attention Of Officer Jourdan Of the Sixth Precinct,
who watched his movements and discovered that hs
spent up ward Of SIS week at the theater bar for
brandy smashes, hot rum, gin cocktails and other
fancy drinks. The young fellow very lavish with
his money ard had string Of scquaiDtances who al
ways accompanied hun to the bar. Officer Jourdsn
finally came to the conclusion that he did not get the
money which he spent in honest manner, and deter
mined 10 investigate the matter. On Thursday night,
while in the barroom, the officer gently tapped him
on the shoulder and desired fey minutes private
yersaiion. McDavtts acquaintance, knowing the
officer, made themselves percepbly scarce. Jourdan
had 10 sooner touched upon the subject of money mat
than the youth fully confessed to the arceoy, ac-
knowledgiDg that be took Heorys keys, and opening
the trunk stole the $40. Justice Connolly committed
the ACQUIRED for examination.
