Each OF the TWO Persons Arrested
ON suspicion Make Partial Com
fsssions - The Goods stolen From
she Litslejohn Residence All Recov-
cred.
The mystery Of the buralaries Wednesday,
Il in all probability solved. The parties who
were arrested on suspicion have made par
tial confessions and part of the stolen pro-
perty has been recovered.
Yesterday afternoon, after considerable
questioning, the girl Emma Hatfield, who
was the servant girl at the Littlejohn resi-
dencs on Whslley avenue admitted To Door
man Dick Moore that she was implicated lin
the burglary at that residence. She j6h the
superintendent that she had buried part of
the stolen goods ii the cellar of the house Of
+hsr stsp-father JShh W. Lampkin. 90 Hud-
son street. Detectives Brewer and Reilly In
company with Superintendent Bollman Wis
tied the house and searched the cellar, but
could not find any traces of the stolen goods.
As they left the house, however, they eau
toned the step-father that should he find
any of the stolen articles, to come or send
word direct to the police.
About 8 O'Clock Lamkin made his appear
auce at the police Office. He said that while
parture Of the officers he found a number of
stolen articles upstairs in the house in the
girls trunk. He had brought them with him,
and on examination they proved to be all of
the articles stolen from the Littlejohn resi-
deEce.
Later in the evening Roundsman Mcbride
and Doorman Dick Moore were told by young
Goldsborough that there were some spoons
In spoonholder up at his house on Hudson
street near COTE street, and that they might
take,them and Leave them at the Chatfeld
house.. ,Reundsman Mcbride and Ser
geant Driscoll went up to the shanty
the spoons, and q sorry looking lot they were.
There, were six teaspoons, all plated ware with
the exception of two, and all of them badly
battered, two battered plated dessert. spoons
and ope tablespoon. There was also one
nutpicE and three forks When the officers
started of with the spoons the elder Colds
borough claimed them. Young Goldsborough
when confronted with them said he found
| one of the silver spoons, which had the name
bright" engraved on the handle, ct Elm
City Park after the races and the other he
had found in an ash heap. He said that the
nutpick had been found in an ash heap by
his father.
The howell was in a very filthy condition,
and the officers had a very disagreeable task
in ssarchingit.
Young Goldsborough also told Doormsn
Dick Moore that he had left watch at
Levy's, 139 State street, to be repaired.
Roundsman Mcbride went there and pro-
cured the watch, which was a very cheap
silver one.
The girl broke down several times yester-
day. but the boy seems to preserve his cool
| ness quite successfully.

within IN inch of the young mans arm ~
he lay on the ground when thrown from his
