A LUCKY ACCIDENT.
One of the Highwaymen Turns
1nfOrmer.
QUARREL OVER THE SWAG.
The Police Stumble on the Men Who
Robbed Bosano-A Revolver the
Best Protection.

Subsequent DEVELOPMENTS have verified the
assertion in the PosT-INTELLIGENcER last Mon
Gay morning TO the effect that the police had
maze arrests in connection with the recent hold
ups Although IL was denied by the police Sun
DAY night and the statement made that those ar
rests were released, it now comes out that they
were In the "sweat box and at least one OF them
has confessed. Yesterday Cudihee recovered
some goods which he says are part of the
piunoer. The names of the prisoners as they
are known here are scotty Sharp, Hugh alias
TEDDY Boyle, and Frank Melville, known
Morrell
The police firmly believe this trio to be re.
spoAsiole for the recent epidemic of crime, and
noE only think that highway robberes will be
mncn less frequent in the future, but that
pnrgiarIes will be searcer. What grounds the
ponce have for thinking the men under arrest
are responsible for the entire list of hold-ups,
ourgiaries and attempted burglares is a mys-
terry, but it is probably based on their desire to
snow how hard aud how cunnugly they have
worked to capture the gang.
After John Bosano was held up at the big
rock on Madison street the highwaymen and
FRANK Morreli, as the "steerer" is called, met in
room In the southern part of the city and
began to wrangle over the distrib button of the
plumber. The men who did the Job claimed
that they got only 81 and a watch. while the
steerer Claimed the amount was about $50
the police, and the giving of information that
led to the arrests. It is understood that the
police agreed that the one who gave the thing
away was to go free, provided he returned or
gave information leading to the recovery of the
watch. Ii Is learned from reliable source that
Bosano, the victim, aud Morrell or Melville were
In the Salem penitentiary together.
There Is not the least doubt that the police
nave arrested the right men. but from the way
the facts stand out it looks as if they fell the
rock instead OF digging it up.
Another attempted hold-up came to light yes
terday. A While ago as Il. Vincent Collins. of
the firm of Collins Brothers, was walking along
Thomas avenue 10 his home in Queen Anne hill,
a man suddenly stepped in front OF him ana told
MIN to throw up his hands. Collins is hard
ware man, and, knowing of the numerous hold
ups that were happening in the city, had taken
revolver from the store before leaving He
had this in his hand in his coat poke: and,
when the summons came, up came the hand
and revolver with it. The masked battery was
too much for the unprepared highwayman aud
he went flying down Thomas avenue like an
electric car ten minutes behind time. Collins
congratulated himself on his forethought and
went home. He never reported the case to the
police, thinking it not worth the while.

LONG SENTENCE FOR A THIEF.
His Stealings Make the Court Room Re-
sembie Second Hand Store.

Victor Lid berg, who claims to be an heir 10 an
entailed estate valued at 81 00o. 900, and who
arrested on Tuesday for burglarizing Nathan
Jafe's secondhand store at 302 Jackson street
aud j. Fredmans store at 42s Jackson street,
was convicted in Justice Caldwell's court yester-
day afternoon on both charges.
When be was brought into court and the
stolen goods placed tefore the justice, the court
room looked much like secondhand store.
Lidberg admitted that the goods were found in
his possession, but explained by saying that he
slept in a shack with a man the night before,
and, when he awoke in the morning. he found
the watches and other goods in bed with him.
He did not know where they came from. bug
thought he would sell them any way. In deliv-
ering sentence the justice said that he was sorry
that the limit of the penalty in petty larceny
cases was not severer. The combined sentences
were q few days over three months and half.
