srobabIy a Professional Burglar

Yesterdays PRESS told how fellow ac-
costed officer Norton when he was not in
uniform. begged money Of him and later,
when Norton was showing him the way to
the police station tried to snatch the officers
watch. Mr.. Norton had several scuffles
with the man aud was obliged to strike him
with billy and then to throw him to the
ground when he appeared to be drawing a
knife from his pocket. Yesterday morning
the true cause of this determined resistance
became apparent. The man had things in
his pocket which he did not want found on
his person. At the place where Mr.. Norton
had the first scuffle with him self cooking
revolver and bundle of fuse has been
found Where Mr.. Norton threw the man,
thinking he was trying to draw a knife, seven
safe drills have been discovered. 1t was
these that he was trying to get out of his
POCKET and succeeded in doing so. without
discovery at the time, because the alley was
so dark.
Evidently the man is professional safe
blower and he is probably one of the gang
who have been operating in this vicinity for
some time past He may be one of the men
who robbed Mr.. Tilton's store at Cape
Elizabeth. If so he can probably be identi-
fed as one of those who were seen hanging
about South Portland ON the afternoon be-
fore the safe was blown open. Mr.. Norton
may have captured a good prize without
knowing it at the time.
