count Of the burglarious entry Of the store Of G
i w. Bray Co., on Seventh street, and the rob-
1 berry Of watches and other valuabies amounting
TO near 50 900, was given In the Star Since that
time various detective officers have been engaged
In trying to detect the thieves and recover the
property. From the first examination of the
premises, and the manner Of the robbery the
| detectives have been satisfied that no one but
person Intimately acquainted with the store could
/ have committed the act. The first arrest was
/ that Of young man named Hienst, upon sus-
picion by Detective Allen, and Hienst was com.
mitted to Jail by Justice Dom for further hear
| ing. No other arrests were made for several
| days; but Detective officers Allen, Busher, King
and Kimball, were constantly on the alert, mark,
| Ing every suspicious Circumstance that occurred
Detectives Allen and Busher yesterday arrested
Mr.; A. Binnie, workman, and King and Kim
ball arrested another named Grouse. They were
both taken before Justice Dom, and after partial
| examination, which tended to show the Innocence
Of the workmen, Mr.. Binnie was released and
Grouse committed. Should no stronger evidence
be elected It 10 probable that the detectives will
recommend that both Grouse and Heinst be dis
charged from prison.
