Business at the above Court was somewhat lively
yesterday. although the great majority OF cases
were OF trivial nature.
Mr.. Amos A. Carpenter, OF No. IA Franklin street,
appeared about eleven O'Clock against youth
named Charles Smith, whom he charged with
having robbed him Of property to the value Of
1921. From MIR. Carpenters testimony 1t appears
that when approaching his store at an early hour
in the morning ne saw some one looking out
through the window over the nall door. The
party, seeing that he was discovered o
once jumped down and ran back In the
store. Mr.. Carpenter opened the door, and on
entering saw Smith jump down the hatchway-
distance or about eighteen feet-and make his
escape from the building. Carpenter gave chase,
and, being somewhat more fleet Of foot than the
young thief, came up with him at the corner OF
Howard street and Broadway. Smith was turned
over to police officer, who took him to the station
house, where he was locked up for the time being.
Mr. Carpenter returned 10 his store and, on making
an examination, discovered that there had been
taken away one piece OF cashmere, one piece Of
beaver, two pieces OF English selisia, piece OF
American siesia and two pieces OF cloth-all OF the
value Of 1921. Judge Hogan heard the complaint
and locked Smith up in default or 5000 bail.
