WIN wanted 800. 900, which, he asserted,
had been given to him for safe keeping
several years ago. The man had never
b.en seen around the place before, but
he was known through his ietter-writing
mania, as similar demands had been
received by the Superintendent nearly
a year ago.
The man, who was poorly clad, and
gave every evidence of having passed
several nights in cheap lodGing-houses,
made his appearance at the Mulberry
street building soon after l P. NJ.
Detective-Sergt. Mangin was at the
desk in the outer Office. The man said
he had important business with the
Superintendent, to whom alone he could
communicate 1t. There was nothing in
his appearance to indicate that he was
a crank, so after n little more question

The man had n rosary and several glass
chandelier pendants in his pockets.
Supt. Byrnes In hunting up the mans
record found that he had received a
postal card from the fellow, signed
Thomas j. Reilly, two years ago, and
that the woman he referred to was Miss
Sarah Bell, of 1l9 East Twenty-ninth
street. The Superintendent thinks that
