| BuRGLARIEs. - Some time Wednesday
night thief entered the residence OF w.
w. Grissim 1417 1 street, having key
which unlocked the front door. The room
| of T. A. Pierson had been LETT unlocked,
and the thief entered it and removed that
gentlemans clothing. In the morning his
| IN, ha
money they had contained, about $50 and
the coat was lying in the parlor. The thief
stole, besides the money, an overcoat and a
watch and chain, all belonging to Mr..
| Pierson L. Frost's residence, 1921 l
street, was also burglarized that night.
| Some of the members of the family had
been attending a party, and returning
home about midnight, saw light in the
basement. They paid little attention to the
| fact, believing that some other member OF
| the family was getting lunch, and did not
| think it singular that the light should be
extinguished about the time they entered
the gate A few minutes afterwards how
ever, when the key of the back door could
not be found, and the matches were ascer-
tanned to have disappeared from where
| they should have been in one of the apart
ments some questions were asked which
| led to the discovery that the light seen in
| the lower part of the house was being used
by burglars Then there was a grand re-
connoissance in force en- deshabille, which
developed the fact that the rascals had
departed, leaving by a front window, and
taking with them as booty only a shotgun,
property of Mr.. Frost, Jr., who would
rather they had shown an appreciation of
something else. The back door had been
left open for the accommodation of the
| hot tl,a
home, and entrance to the house may have
been obtained by the unwelcome visitors
in that way.
| HABEAs CoRPUs.-Judge Van Fleet heard
yesterday the return TO the writ of habeas
corpus sworn out on Wednesday by James
Cooney, ST., of Brighton, directed against
Hiram Murphy of that place, and directing
him to produce in Court James Cooney,
Jr, and show cause why he restrained him
of his liberty. Mr.. Murphy appeared in
Court with the boy yesterday, and made
return that he had not exercised any re-
straint over the latter, but that the youth
came to his house and was accommodated
with shelter Tuesday night because of his
being afraid to go home, for fear his father
would cruelty beat or perhaps kill him.
| Testimony was introduced of a character
| L
ST., was responding to a writ of habeas cor
pus relative to the boy sworn out by
Murphy. The boy testified as to his father s
Furnishing him severely, and declared that
he would rather go with Mr.. Murphy or
any one else than go home; but he adj
mitted that his punishment was received
in consequence Of misconduct. The Court,
in reviewing the evidence, expressed the
belief that, although it was apparent that
| the boy had at times been punished Sc
verely, still there had not been enough of
cruelty shown TO warrant the taking of the
son from the control of his father. He adj
vised the latter, however, as it was apparent
that the home relations would not be of the
pleasantest for a while, TO send the youth
to some educational institution Christ
ian Brothers College of this city, the Col
lege at San Rafael, or some similar place.
