prletor OF fancy goods store on Ninth
street, near street, discovered that on Sum-
day his store had been robbed Of large
amount Of valuable articles, such as rolls Of
cloth, stockings, ladies' garments, handker-
chiefs, and many fancy articles, the whole
valued at $500.
He Immediately reported his loss at police
headquarters, and TO Detectives McDeyltt
and Thompson was assigned the duty OF
"worklng up" the case.
Those officers, with their usual sagacity
and energy, commenced their labors at once
and before night they had succeeded In re-
covering the entire lot Of goods stolen, as
also the thief who committed the robbery.
Upon examining the premises, the officers
concluded That the thief had effected an en-
trance to the store by II trap door leading to
the cellar. Searching further, they discovered
that. the cellar connected with that Of the
Herndon House, a boarding house at the
corner Of Ninth and y street.
Further inquiry was made, more facts de.
veloped, and finally the thief was traced to
house on q street, between Sixth and
Seventh streets, where he was found, and
also the goods stolen, which were neatly
packed In two trunks and five market
baskets. Upon arresting the party, a col
ored man, he gave his name as John
Tyler, and II was subsequently ascertaincd
u
house for some months past. A few days
ago he stated that he was sick and went to
his home. Finding that he was hard pushed,
and In view Of the fact that the stolen prop
erty was found In his possession, Tyler con-
fessed having stolen the goods on Sunday
and conveyed them In q surreptitious man
ner through the cellar Of the Herndon house
to his own place of abode. The goods are
now at police headquarters, In good condi-
ton, and Tyler has been committed to Jail
to await the action of the Criminal Court
