yesterday morning G. Paladina, who keeps
public house on L street, between Second and
Third. caught Angelo Corda in sort of
storeroom which Paladins has arranged be-
meath the sidewalk in part of his premises,
and in which liquors, wine, ETC., are kept.

day officer Ash, after investigating the mat
ter, entered a charge of burglary against the
prisoner. There was found in the door of the
storeroom a key which had evidently been
filed down to make it fit the lock- and inside
the room the large, double.edged knife and
two-gallon demijohn, which Corda is sup.
posed to have taken there with him. Of late
Paladina has lost considerable property from
this room, and he therefore devised a very

should visit the premises without lesve-a
cord attached to the storer0om door, led into
the house through the window and connected
with bell.
