LOVE BETRAYED HIM.
A Fugitive Located Through a Let
ter to His Sweetheart.
SOME sHREWD DETECTIVE WORK.
The Guilty Man Robs His Pest Friend and
Leaves the City.
HOW HE WAS FINALLY ENTRAPPED

Quite shrewd piece of detective work
was accomplished by Constable Hugh DAILY,
Of Pittsburg, when he located and arrested
Antoni Burowski, alias Michael Varley, at
Manyunk, Pa Burowski, who disappeare d
from this city about two weeks ago leaving
no trace as to his destination, was wanted
by the authorities here for theft and OBJ
tanning money under false pretences
Several weeks ago Burowski made his
appearance in Pittsburg and went to work
in the shops of the Carbon Iron Works.
While there he made the acquaintance of
| Alexander Zyskowski and subsequently
they became such good friends that they
took rooms together at Thirty-fourth street
and Lafayette alley. Zyskowski was in
dustrious and saving, but Burowski was
just the opposite, being not only shiftless,
but reckless in the expenditure of his
money. On this account mutual friends of
the two men could not understand how it
was possible for Zyskowski to exhibit such
strong liking for his new found comrade.
Robbed by His Companion.
Zyskowski after much labor and frugality
had accumulated $3.50. This amount he
had deposited with the priest of ST. Stanis-
lus' Church, on Twenty-second street.
The priest acts as banker for number Of
people in his congregation. To show that
he had this amount of money in the hands
of the priest Zyskowski had little bank
book drawn up in the regular form. This
book he kept locked in his trunk. About
three weeks ago Burowski, learning that
his friend had this amount of money, began
laying plans to rob him. BY October 20 his
plans were all matured.
On that day he broke open Zyskowski's
trunk, aud taking out the bank book went
down and presented it to the priest at st.
Stamslaus' Church. To the priest he rep
resented that his name was Zyskowski, and
he had little difficulty in securing the
money. The same evening Burowski left
the city. At the time there was $50 10 due
him at the Carbon Iron Works. His right
to this he sold Tor SIG. The next day Tvs
kowski discovered his loss and reported
the matter to friend, Leon Kreger, at No.
112 Wylie avenue. The latter advised him
to communicate the circumstances of the
case to Constable DAILY.
Betrayed by a Love Letter.
He did as directed. DAILY, without the
slightest clue to aid him, began work OIL
the case. After much trouble he located
Burowskls sweetheart. Pretendlng ne
was friend of her lover, the girl showed
him a letter from the fugitive dated from
Manyunk and also gave DAILY one of
Burowski's photographs
Constable DAILY started at once for Many
unk, reaching there on Friday last He
secured the help of some Philadelphia
policemen and made thorough search of
the Polish quarter. From certain actions
on the part of some of the Poles Constable
Daily felt pretty certain they were trying
to hide his man. Selling upon bold
measure. he arrested upon suspicion Pole
who resembled Burowski very much, and
as he expected the victim, who was badly
frightened. made a clean breast of the
matter telling where Burowski could be
found.
The fugitive was located in the Pencoyd
Iron Works. where he was working on the
night turn. He was promptly locked up in
a neighboring station house, and upon be-
ing seached in the lining of his coat was
found S9S and and duplicate of the photo
graph in the possession of his sweetheart in
this city. Constable Daily reached Pitts
burg with his prisoner yesterday and in
default of 81 800 bail the fugitive was COM
mitted to Jail by Magistrate McPike.
