THAT BICYCLE LARCENY.
How the 8icycIe Was Stolen and
How the Owner Recovered IL.

Wednesdays PRESS spoke Of the arrest of
man at South Portland for the theft of a
bicycle in Boston and his return To that citv
tuesday night In charge of a Boston officer.
There Is quite story connected with the af-
iair' Inc charge against the young man.
whose name Is Edward Z. Heekburt, was
sne larceny OF safety bicycle, valued at
sloo, the property of Mr.. Fred w. Chandler
of Portland.
HecBburt is very bright and we'll educated
and has heretofore borne an excellent char
aster, having held position as instructor at
Boston College during the past season, at
least. 'Efs alleged that he took the bicycle
from the Portland boat, the fremont, on the
morning of June 16. 1891, in Boston. The
owner was on board, his intention being to
spend the 18th in Boston on his wheel. 1t is
charged that Heckburt took the bicycle to
the Parker House, getting permission to
leave it there an hour or two, and subse-
quently calling for it.
Mr.. Chandler reported his loss to the po-
lice, came home on the 18th and went back
again ON the 26tb. On the evening of that
date he was on Warren street, Roxbury, near
Moreland street. with a friend watching BIZ
cycles, with vague hope that he might be
lucky enough to meet with his own. how
he expected to know 1t must be left to him
to explain. But, fction-like, along came a
young man on safety, and stopping near
Chandler, entered shop for glass of soda.
While he was quaffing it, the machine was be-
ing examined and proved to be the property
of Chandler. The latter and his friend al
lowed the refreshed rider to mount and pro
coed. He went northward and they followed,
running very fast. until Patrolmen Huck-
ings and Moran were met with. The rider
was by that time near Northampton street,
and would soon have been out of reach had
not a second man came along on a bicycle
who was willing to catch him. He did so,
asking him to stop moment, as gentle
man wished to speak to him.
The man addressed was young, pleasant
and very frank. His name was Mackie. He
was the son Of Dr. William B. Mackie of
675 fremont street He had purchased the
bicycle for $85 of Heckburt, paying S65
down. The latter had been his tutor and he
was 10th to believe that he was guilty OF any
fraud.
When arrested, Heckburt stated that he
bought the bicycle Of man on the boat,
paying $35. His former standing would lead
many to accept this statement as true Ii 1t
was not for the alleged fact that he told Mrs.
Mackie, mother Of the young man who pur-
chased the bicycle, that he obtained the ma
chine In different manner.
