'emes with intent to rob. An entrance was
enected by trap door leading from the cellar.
Dy some accident the door fell back with
starting crash, sending its echoes through

.he tenement above. In their flight the
'hieVes were recognized. Officer McCurdy
secured their arrest and consigned them TO
the lookup. In the morning thew were
brought before Judge Goodspeed and plead
not guilty. They were bound over in five
hundred dollar bonds to appear before the
Aprii term OF court. Not being able to fur
nish the required bail they were taken to the
Augusta Jail where their thieving propensities
will be held in restraint till April at least.
They did not succeed in getting any money.
