Ger Theodore Dottell was going his rounds near
Fifth and Thompson streets, he heard noise
at one Of the store doors on Thompson street.
Slipping up quietly, he found William johnson

tavern, having the key adjusted and ready to
turn. He 'nabbed" johnson in no gentle man

the station House. II we judge "a workman

manner of keys. some having hotel numbers,
no skeletons, q "bit" which had seen long and
hard service, an old punch a lock (Which he
owned he had taken from a store door that
night), and lastly, n "sixer" OF dangerous ap-
pearance, and loaded. These we're found lying
loose about the doorsill, being evidence that he
