| "pockcted,'' and appear no more valuable
cues won1d be "taken,' and no sign malc, and
altogether considerable sum total Of loss was
experienced, and no clue obtained as to di1ec-
tions and means.
They set the city detectives ut work, and the
latter soon found reason to suspect habitue
ofthis and other saloons about town, u young
man always well dressed, yet with no viaiblo
means Of support. The suspicion was con-
frmcd very speedily by seeing him in the act
ofpawninga an article Of clothing, subsequently
ascertained to belong to one Of the attaches at
| Brunswick's.
The Young man, known as William Collins,
was arrested by officer AIacauley, and an inycs-
tigation showed him to be in possession of
eight pawn tickets, which were found to rep
resent III each instance stolen property, some
| Of which has been identified, aud the rest may
