of the gang had been captured, but such
is not the case.
Last night, although bad night. the
gang thought II wise to go out again,
thinking that they would not be dis

the street to modest them. Accordingly,
sometime after midnight, they again
began their depredatlons This time
their beat was the homes of Exeecre-
tary Thomas F. Bayard, Lewis Bush, W.
F. Seeds and J. A Bond.
They Begin Work.
They first proceeded to the house of J j.
A. Bond at Fifth avenue and Broome

down stairs to the parlor where he found
the shutters unbolted and the window
pane broken.
He Immediately rushed to the window
snd saw two stra gers pass the gate. he
describes one man as being tall, wearing
a slouuch hat and long oyercoat, Mrs
Bond was awake and she telephoned TO the
the police station serEeants Ingram
and Chambers and Captain Francis and
Patrolman Mahoney were ordered TO go
to the house They arrived there about
2. 30 o'clock but no trace of'the burglars
could be found.
The officers proceeded to the home OF
Lewis Bush, supposing that the men
were operating there. They found
nothing. While there the report of
pistol twas heard The aofficers tken
thought that one of their number
had found them. Knowing that the
burglars we're in the immediate neigh
borhood they proceeded to Hon. Thomas
F. Bayard's hons, but found no traces
Of burglars there.
The policemen next went to w. f.
Seeds residence where all the inhabitants
were very much excited. Mr.. Seeds
stated that shortly before the arrival Of
the officers he had heard two men on his
front porch The attempted
to gain an entrance to his
house by breaking the window. He
arose without dressing and procured his
revolver He walked quietly down stairs
and stationed himself behind the large
folding doors The tall man had the
shutters unfastened and was about TO
raise the windsw when Mr.. Seeds
ed.
The ball went crashing through the
window and struck the burglar ia the
groin and the burglar fell. Another
pal was standing az the gate, aud he
Immediately ran to the porch and car
ried ehis wounded friend away While
they were leaving the yard. Mr.. Seeds
fred two more shots at them, but Il is
not known whether they hit the mark or
not These were the shots thai were
| heard by the officers while at Mr. Bush's.
The officers, after hearing Mr. Seeds's
story, searched all the out-buildings in
the neighborhood, but found no one, On
the porch were found blood stains, and
