ARRESTED ON THE STAGE.
Fidley Fallon's Fruitless Attempt to Es-
cape the Police.

y
cape the Police.
Fidley Fallon, the young man wi tn
the handsome face and the light,
curling hair, who has, according to
the police and the courts of justice,
escaped from more critical situations
than any young crook of his age in the
state. was arrested Monday nightOin
the wings of the opera house stage by
Officer MolOney, for threatening the
life of James Carroll, a denizen of the
north end.
Fidley and Thomas Carroll are the
young men referred to in the article
descriptive of the outrage committed
upon James Brennan on Monday
last. James Carroll, brother of
Thomas, heard of the outrage, and,
after berating his brother in not too
gentle fashion for his miSdeeds, gave
him wholesome lecture upon the
danger of association with such de-
PRAYED young men as Fallon.
But Thomas, thinking Fidley sort
of angelic martyr to the unsympathic
law, forthwith related his experience
to that hopeful youth. Fidley's dig
nifty or cussedness was Immediately
aroused, and he at once sought out
James Carroll, and threatened to kill
him if he dared to open his head
about him again to any duffer,' see"'
Carroll was not easily frightened,
however, and got out state warrant
charging Fidley with threatening his
life. This was placed in the hands OF
Marshal Brennan, who instructed the
police force to arrest the bold youth
on sight. Fidley somehow managed
to receive warning, and, being pressed
close, slid through the stage door of
the opera mouse and hid behind the
scenes, where he was arrested and
taken to Jail.
Fidley Fallon is now under indict-
ment for another otfense, that of
burglary, said to have been committed
in the rooms Of James Bailey, in the
north end. He was out on bail for his
appearance for this otfense when ar
rested last evening. Has the curtain
decended upon the last act?
