How Jimmy Hope was Caught.

Chief Crowley and Capt. Lees, Of the Police
Department, ascestained within the past week
that gang Of Eastern burglars had paid this
city a visit and were disposed to go into
business against the banks. From information
received in regard to suspected burglarious
operations against Sather's bank, corner
Montgomery and Commercial streets, the
Chief, at an early hour last evening, station
ed detectives in a room in the second story
of the building and others upon the opposite
side of the street. About $50 o'clock, two
men were observed to enter bv means Of a
pass-key, the door leading up stairs in the
bank building. and the Officers stationed in
the second story were, by an agreed signal,
apprsed of the fact. 1t being dark they
could not tell where the men were. but heard
them conversing at the end of the hall on the
second floor. The officers made a descent
on them, and caught one Jimmy Hope,
notorious Eastern bank robber and "cracks-
man." Further search by the officers re.
vealed that under the stairs leading 10 the
third story, hole nearly two feet square,
Immediately over the safe, had been cut in
the floor. A trap-door had been made, 80 as
to neatly fit the opening. II was further
found that hole had been made in the vault
to the depth Of several feet, the bricks and
pieces Of iron composing the masonry being
thrown under the stairs. In one place the
iron casing had been reached. complete
outfit Of burglar tools was aiso found, includ-
ing sIedge-hammer and handle. a combina-
ton jimmy. augers, several saws. bits, cold
chisels, two dark lanterns, two pieces Of heavy
timber about three feet in length, which had
been cut out Of the floor. two overalls, and
other things useful to burglars. It is sup
posed that the other burglar, hearing the tus-
sci caused by the arrest Of his confederate,
escaped to the third story. passed into law
sprang through window upon the roof Of q
Of about eight feet, and made good his escape
over a circuitous route to Clay street.-Snn
