NEW York, May; 24.-Tha detective force,
under the supervision OF Inspector BYrnes,
made an important arrest. On April 29ithe
safe of Smith & Co. As Park Place, was robbed
OF all 1t contained worth having. On Thurs
day night last s. B. Horton & Co., OF 50
Frankfort street, suffered similar loss. The
negotiable amounts taken in either case were
not large, bat the methods of msnipulstions
in each case were similar. Inspector Byrnes
knew that Gustsvus Kent, alias French Gus,
alias Isadore Marshall, who has escaped
from imprisonment several times,
was released from Sing Sing about n
year ago. The Inspector knew that
French Gus was IN New York. and suspected
that from the means employed, Kent might
be the man he wgnted. He detailed detec-
tives Lyon, King; and Connor TO watch for
Kent. These officers learned that Misc Rose
Kent, daughter Of kents, had in her
house many OF the articles taken in the rob-
berries. They had also learned that Kent oc-
cupied room at 80 Market street, and here
they arrested him.. When Kent was told of
the finding OF the bonds, postage stamps and
other things at his daughters residence, he
confessed 20 the burglary, but maintained
that be bad secured only about $3.50, instead
OF the S4oo or moe, that he was chAred with
having taken.
