The New York World gives the following
account of the detection, convict, IL and s.u-
tence to the State prison Of a we:.!thy young
man who couldn't help stealing:
"Dominick Killoran, alias Boratio i:aymond,
is q young man of good appearance aid address
and is well educated. He has not VI. attained
which WAS brqueathed him, is in charge of his
guardians, End is to become absolutely his when
he reaches the aye of twenty five. Meantime he
can receive the interest on condition of leading
an honest life. But he early showed an appa-
rently uncomfortable love for thieving, and has
been many times before the courts once for
daring theft from the Park Bank "Wednesday
he was tried in the Court Of Oyer and Terminer,
charged with having stolen pocKctbook from
Miss Ada Dyus, of the Fifth Avenue Theatre.
While she was crossing Eighteenth street. at
Fourth avenue the last day or December, with
her pocketbook in the hand which held up her
dress, somebody quickly snatched it and ran OF.
He was pursued by a policeman, and Was found
persplring prOfusely under u stoop and behind
an ash barrel On being brought back he was
identified by Miss Dyns. She testified that she
did not see his face, bat Us there WAS no other
person who could have stolen her pocNetbook,
and rs she followed and watched him till he
turned the corner, with the ctGcer close 1T his
heels, she had no hesitation in identifying him.
One oil the gentlemen who mad been summoned
on the Jury, Dat VINO llau Deel eaCilaru on aC-
count OF his knowledge Of facts testified to hav-
ing seen lad running, and to having tried to
stop him, when the lad stuck his hand in his
pocket and said, II you stop me Phi shoot you,
and lodged past him. From his general appear
ancc he believed the prisoner wa5 the lad. The
defence was ingenious, the counsellor attempting
to make the former scrapes of the young man
serve him good purpose. With mn air of great
candor he deposed that he had four times en-
arrested for larceny. Last April he was tried in
| the Oyer and Ternlner for an attempt to rob the
messenger of the Park Bank, and nOtwthstand-
ing the evidence against him was direct and pos
! tive his plausibilly deceived the jury and he
was acqu.t tied. Two weeks later he was urraign-
| ed in the same court for stealing an overcoMt
| while attending meeting Of splrtualists. This
time he induced the district attorney to accept u
plea of guilty of petty larceny, and got of with
sentence Of six months in the pentcntiary,
| from which Institution he escaped within five
weeks BIZ swimming East river to Hunters
Point. He says now he was living in constant
dread of being reafrestcd and returned 10 the
prison, and when no hoard thn cry Of stop thief
| nc ran because he Thought he ha1 been recog'
niZed by some one, and not because he had
snatchcd the pocketbook, an ac. which he sol
emily asseveratcd WAS not his. The jury WIS
out II very brief time, and returned with YER
dict Of guilty The court sentenced him to five
years i'll the state rlson.'
