Clever Thief Omt,vits a Couple of st. Louis
Detectives.
LSt. Louis Republican.
Detectives are sometimes to shrewd in
laying their plans to be successful in trap
ping criminals. An instance of this kind
happened on Sunday night, to the chagrin
of three of the Oldest detectiv es on the ST..
Louis police force, and to the disgust of their
associates, Detectives O'Neill, Lawler and
Hennessy, who we're expecting important
developments that would lead to the discovery
of lot of sneak-thieves.
The circumstances of the case, as related
by citizen, we're as follows: Last Sunday
afternoon domestic servant in the employ
of Mr.. Jacob Comrades, living at SIS Chou
teau avenue, discovered hid in the wash-house
in the rear of the dwelling, package con-,
tanning dozen pieces Of costly jewelry. She,
at the request of the family she was employ
ed by, reported the discovery to the police,
and also said that during the past week two
tramps had slept nearly every night in the
wash-house, having gained admittance by a
door opening from the alley. Information
was sent to the detectives, and Sunday even
ing three of them we're detailed to investigate
the affair. They took possession of the
package of jewelry, and estimated it to be
worth about 5000. They replaced the bun
die in the corner it was hid in when found
by the servant. They also tied a string to
it and passed the string through the floor
into the cellar below, where two of the
detectives took positions to await develop
ments.
placed SO as to fall heavily on the ground,
&ha otr lol A.
tective had placed candle under barrel on
the floor of the wash house, and took po-
sition in the yard to watch for the tramps.
The plan was to allow the tramps to enter
the building, and attempt to move the pack
age, giving good circumstanial evidence as to
who hid it in the first place. AS the stick of
wood fell it would be signal for the detect
ives in the cellar to crawl up into the alley
and get possession of that means of escape.
and the detective in the yard to rush into the
room, uncover the candle and make the
tramps surrender at the muzzle of drawn
revolver. The detectives waited patiently
until daylight yesterday morning, but they
had heard no indications of the tramps' re-
turn and decided to 60 home. Before they
started homeward they made an inspection
of the wash house, and were dumbfounded
to see that the package Of jewelry had been
stolen from there during the night. The thief
had tied a stick to the cord so as to prevent it
from slipping through the floor, and then cut
the package off and carried it away noise
lessly. The family gave the detectives
good breakfast, and while at the table the
servant said that at about 10 O'Clock Sunday
night she saw man come up the alley and
take off his shoes and walk into the wash
house. She said that knowing that the de-
tectives were watching the place she thought
the man was detective and therefore did
not give any alarm.

that an indictment against Hibbard tor

The Potter Committee

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3I.-After recess,
A. Il. Potts, sergeant-at-arms of the sub
committee sent to New Orleans, stated
that ST Martin was deputy sergeant-at-
arms of that committee from the 10th till
the 22d of July. Whatever subpenas St.
Martin had he received from witness. He
received no instructions with regard to
them except to serve them.
The chairman examined Blackburn. who
testified that he had never spoken to St.
Martin IN his life, except, perhaps, to say
good day. He had never seen him talking
with Stenger. and never heard that large
number of witnesses were kept in close
quarters by him and Weber.
Stauger testified that the first time he
saw Weber was in the committee room at
New Orleans; never saw ST. Martin until
be was appointed: believed he was ap-
pointed at the suggestion of Weber, who
recomme nded him as one who knew where
TO ipd witnesses; never had any conversa-
ton with Maddox, and did not speak to
Carter until the committee returned to
Washington.
Tie chairman observed that the alleged
conversation between Stenger and st. Mar
tin could not have taken place on the dates
mentioned.
Hiscock asked if this branch of the in-
quiry was closed. The chairman answered
in the negative, and asked for a short secret
session to consider the resolution offered by
Stenger, and some detail connected with
the appointment of the subcommittee to
proceed to New York
The subcommittee will leave Washing
ton Sunday night. and commence taking
testimony Monday afternoon. Their meet
lngs will be held in the postoffice building.
Among the first witnesses to be called are
Marble, Pelton and Weed. Mr.. Tilden will
d aLso oe called upon to testify. At present
the committee seem to have no inclination
to pass special resolution that he be al.
lowed to have counsel present tn advise
with upon his testimony. The resolution in
favor of bringing back Anderson to the
stand is indefinitely tabled. and not likely to
be heard of again. The subcommittee will
be away about ten or fifteen days 1t is un-
dersto0d that little will be done by the CON-
mittee at Washington before their return.
