A SUPPOSED BURGLAR.
Joseph Baynrd Arrested for an At
tempted Robbery I'm BeItsviIIe.

man named Joseph Bayard. thirty-five
years old. is under arrest here on suspicion
of being the man who attempted to rob the
store of Mr. Beall at Beltsville a week ago.
as published in The Star at the time. This
daring robbery was attempted the night
after the safe burglary in Georgetown. and
it was at first thought that the persons
who operated in Betsyille were the men
who robbed the Georgetown store.
The job here, however was the work OF
professionals, while in Maryland the job
was a bungling one. The store was entered
and a bungling attempt was made TO open
the safe. While i'm the store the burglar
alarm was sounded and MIR. Beall fired at
the fleeing Burglars and wounded one Of
them, for the next morning blood staias
were found on the ground near the building.
Bayard. or Beard. as he is called. be-
longs in this city, and Is well known by the
police. He was arrested this morning on
Pennsylvania avenue by Detectives Horne
and Boyd. In his neck are four wounds
which were evidently made by shot from a
gun, such as fired by Mr.. Beall and one
of his hands shows evidence OF having
come in contact with harbed wire fence
The prisoner denies that he is the man
who figured i'm the Beltsville affair and says
the officers will have 10 prove now he was
wounded. as he does not intend to tell trem.
The Maryland authorities have been notified
OF the arrest. and tho officers are further
investigating the AFFAIR
