at the incident when placed before them
on the stage. The nearest theft that
ever knew to parallel it occurred not so
many years ago when an habitual Grim
inal in New York city was given six
months in the penitentiary for stealing a

the criminal had a record which included
everything from the theft of a paper Of
pins and q wagon wheel down to a water

and perfectly open for the purpose Of

handle. Now, the stove had good fire
in it and had been set out ON the pave

must have found it a very hot object to
handle, and yet he ran with it a dozen
blocks before he was caught and arrest
