An enterprising burglar entered q gen
tleman's house at Waterford, Ireland, one
night a couple. of weeks ago, and after
p%urloining everything he could find he
prepared to remove a large Photographic
camera that was standing on a table. In
some way he touched off a magnesium
flash light attachment that was part of
the machine, and fled precipitately when
the thing fared up. The next day it was
found that the camera had taken the pho
tograph of the burglar. The negative was
placed in the hands of the police and by
its aid they quickly nabbed their man.
1t showed the burglar with a jimmy in
one hand and a box containing jewelry
under his arm, while he carried a sack
over his shoulder with valuable pieces of
plate, books, etc, and was gazing at the
flash light in open mouthed amazement.
This was the unimpeachable evidence of
a mechanical eye witness, and the fellow
was sent up for six months.
