w. c. Campbell is only 20 years of age
and at a casual glance one would not sup
pose him 10 be an object OF any particular
interest to the police. So neatly does he
dress that be would be profta BILE as a
cl,tbier's advert sement, and added to all
this ne sports a silveT-handled cane and
tan shoes with pointed toes. But these
very shoes have got him into his new
trouble. for he was arrested yesterday on
the complaint of Mr.. Samson, a Broadway
shoe-dealer, who swore that the young
man had stolen the Identical shoes from
his store last Monday.
According to the shoeman's story the
theft was committed in very clever way.
Alter stealing the shoes Campbell bought
another pair exactly like them, but the
clerk, missing the other shoes, became
suspicious and put private mark on the
pair winch Campbell had purchased. The
sboes which Campbell wore did not con-
tam the private mark and the shoe-deaeT
declares they are the ones which were
stolen from him.
