Evidence Against n Burglar

The Hartford police have good evidence that Henry Hauerwaus, now awaiting trial by the Superior court for burglary in Wood stock, was implicated in the series of petty burelaries iA West Hartford and the sur rounding country early last spring. In one of these burglarious attempts the robber ran from the pistol of the master of the house, whose name is Skeele, and, in his hurry to escape, lost his hat. Early the next morn- ing bareheaded man called at the house of neighbor and begged an old cap, for which he paid fifty cents. Policeman Tinker took Henry Hauerwaus' portrait to West Hartford yesterday. One man to whom he showed 1t, when asked if he had ever seen the man be- fore, said: sWhy, yes that IS the man | that came to me and bought cap the morn | ing after someone tried to get into Steele house." A hired man, who was present | at the time the cap was bought, also recog- I nized it.
 While the robber was fleeing, Mir. Steele | fired several shots, some of which he thought must have hit him. When Hauerwaus was ! bcIng searched at the police station several recently healed scars were noticed on his back. These and other indications seem to point toward Hauerwaus as the burglar.
