SO Washington Street. He caught O'Con-
nor selling. 1t is.said, and when O'Connor
saw the officer he ran upstairs with Plum
mer in hot pursuit When he reached the
attic Plummer was close upon him and
O'Connor plunged through the scuttle win
dow, onto the roof. There are two seut-
ties one On each side of the attic entry, aud
as O'Connor went through one of them
Plummer caught the toe of his boot.
O'Connor twisted 1t out OF Plummer's
hand. He had acquired such an impetus
in the jump that he couldn't stop himself
and rolled down and off the roof, striking
on building below. and then falling to
the ground. Plummer couldn't see the fall
and knew nothing about 1t. supposing that
O'Connor was on the roof and would come
in at the other scuttle. Plummer kept on
the watch halt an hour and then descended,
searched the house thoroughly, could not
find any trace of his man, and supposed he
had run off. II was reported last evening
that O'Connor was seriously injured by the
fall having his back broken,
