Arrrst OK: Desperate Burglar and Thief.
Ever since the robbery OF Gciger store
ut Quarr,NiC the police have been active
in scaIriI of II clue rs to the whereabouts Of
the thicvc&. The stealing OF number Of
teams gave i:apct,is to- their search. Paul
Quiglcy. well known in police circles, was
from the 'rs' suspected us the ringlc:,dcr
in these Expectations. Since his
race with and escape from Officer Adams
his abiding place was unknown until late
Oh Saturday night, when lic was arrested
by Officers Adams and Lcnt:, at II tenant
farm about two miles north Of Cochran
willie. Chester county. Every night for
weeks past these officers have secured the
county in the hope of finding u clue. On
Saturday evening they boarded the 6:sj
train for AtSlen (or PenninStonville),
where they hired team and proceeded to
Cochranvillc. They had information that
two suspicious characters were working as
farm hands on :. farm about Il mile from
that place. Arrivin" ut the farmhouse
Officer LcntZ guarded the rear door, and
Adams went to the front door and knocked
for admittancc. Soon he heard the StepOf
man coming down the stairs and the
door WAS cautiously opened. Officer
Adams forced his way in and
ut once recognized Quig'cy. When Quis-
ley saw Adams he ran for the stairs, but
WAS caught by the officer before he had
proceeded far, and then enSr,ed u terrible
tussle between captive and c,ptor. The
women in the house cried MURDER" and
the ''othcr man" jumped out y second
story window a!id took To the corn-ficid.
Lcitz h,stcne,l to the assistance Of Adams,
| the bracelets were put On (aliglcy and he
was brought to town and taken to Jail
early yesterday morning. On his way to
town Lc spoke but little of his late actions
| and seemed very defiant. He had repeat
| cdly declared that 10 officer should take
him alive. and it is probable he would
| have made u more effective resistance had
he not taken the officer to be ono Of
his thievin. companions rcturnin. from
L midnight raid Officers Adams
and Lent deserve much credit for
the PERSISTENCE, tact and success with
which they have huntcl Quiglcy down.
The law las several unsettled accounts
with him. First, Inc jumped his bail in
the case against him wherein lie is charged
With the theft OFFS quantity os block lead
from the city reservoir grounds. Then he
was soin, months ago charged with tho
larceny Of chickens; from NJ. COover, OF
| Ephrata. and still later, when he Outrln
Officer Adams, rs has been before reported,
he dropped from his shoulders !.
bag containing several pairs Of
shoes which have been identified
as part of the property recently stolen
from Gciscr's store in Quarryvillc. 1t is
known also that he sold several pairs Of
the stolen shoes to parties in the eastern
section of the city, and it is confidently be-
lcvcd that he will bc proven to have had
Il hand in several other burgl,rics and lar
cenics recently committed.
The bai'r,ecc for Guig!cys arrest for
stealing the lc;.,l pipe was issued by AL
dcrman Nrtnnomy. The other complaints
against him will bc heard by Alderman
Spurric1 The time for tho hearings have
not yet been fixed.
