taken out Looking around, he found foot
prints in the snow, and getting Policeman
Tyler and Michael Lynch proceeded to trace
the parties, if possible, to their den They
followed the track along side of the river on
to the railroad down to Britt's house in Pray's
lane, where it seems they had been having
some of the meat ter supper, and the smell
of bacon led the parties to believe that they
had struck the right place. They hunted
around and finally found part of a ham in
bag outside of the house in the snow, but
were unable to learn anything about the re-
naming pieces. Yesterday morning CITY
Mashal White was notified, and taking with
him officer Thorndike, started for Carter,
having learned that he was seen on the street
with Britt several times the night before
When they arrived at the house they found
Carter shoveling snow, when the following
colloquy took place between them; "Rather
early, isn't it, Charles, to be out shoveiing
snow?" "Oh, no." says Charles, ''you know
we fellows have to get round pretty early any
way" "Hain't covering up anything in that
pile of SNOW are you, Charles?" "Oh, no !;
just shoveling her of little, that's all.
About this time the marshal went to kicking
about in the snow with his foot. when behold
he planked his foot right into twenty pound
ham. Carter then confessed his guilt. and
disclosed where the remaining pieces we're.
Yesterday afternoon they were arraigned oe-
fore Judge Andrews, and plead guilty. Car
ter was put under $500 and Britt $500 bonds
for their appearance at the April term Of the
Superior Court, and not being able to furnish
he same we're committed to Jail.
