TOMMY wALLACE's LAST CRIME.
Escaped from Prison, He Attempts
Burglary and Murder.

II Is well known that the scenes of their
former crimes have an irresistible attraction for
criminals. Even at the peril OF their lives and
liberty, they will often return there and at
tempt new crimes to siartle society
man whose closely cropped hair and rough.
miscellaneous garb showed that he had but
recently escaped from the penitsntiary, sneaked
along Railroad avenue on Tuesday night and
up one of the interesting streets 70 Front
street He looked cautiously up and down each
thoroughiare to see II policeman was in sight,
and then began . careful examination OF one of
the big stores. in which electric lamps brought
into strong relief the big piles OF goods. After
another furtive glance around TO see that he was
not watched, he nimbiy climbed up the window
frame, over the transom and dropped down In
side the store. Then he crept noiselessly but
quickly to the rear Of the room. where the safe
WAS located.
He had Just stopped down and was getting out
his tools to drill ont the lock when he felt
the strong grip on his arms OF q man who had
been at work in the Office, had seen his entrance
and had dropped out Of sight until his back
was turned. With the slipperiness OF an eel, he
twisted himself free, turned and faced his ad-
ysrsary. Recognizing him at glance and ut
tering fearful oath, he drew a revolver and
fred. The other man, who was unarmed, dropped
and lodged, and, though she burglar tired
three other shots, none OF them hit the mark but
each crashed through one OF the big plate glass
windows In the front OF the store. Fearing cap
sure by some One from without, the burglar fed
and escaped the way he had entered. the man
who had interrupted him being 80 paraiyzed
with fear that he was poweriess TO pursue.
The recognition had been mutual, for the
burglar was Tommy Wallace. one of the money
lar thieves and the other man was Julius Red
elsheimer. manager of Hyains, Pauson q Co,
who had remained late Ut the store to finish up
the previous months accounts
The fatal deiec: in this story is that 1t did not
happen. II might have happened had not Wal
lsce's hopes of escape from the penitcntiary
been blasted BY the vigilance OF his keepers.
The windows OF Hyams, Psuson q Co.'S store AZ
Front and Columbia look as though they were
broken, but Wallace did not break them and Mr..
Redeisheimer has had no midnight encounter
with him. The worst smash which IL likely TO
happen at Hysms, Psnson & Co.'S for some time
10 come 10 that of the prices of overcoats At the
grca, anniversary sale, which takss place on
saturday.
Go and see for yourself whether the windows
are smashed and how much worse the prices
