IS HE THE MAN?
Samuel j. Thomas Again
Arrested.
The Police Think He Committed the
Burglaries on Mob Hill and
in Alameda.

Samuel j. Thomas, the young colored man,
was again arrested yesterday morning by De-
tectves COffey and Gibson and booked at the
City Prison on the charge of vagrancy.
Thomas was arrested early Friday morning
on SUSPICION or having committed the recent
burglaries which have terrorized the residents
on Mob Hill. He was taken before Mrs. Nc
Elroy, 913 Pine street, ana other people whose
houses had been entered, but none of them
could positively identify him. The burglar was
young colored man, but the impression was
that he was not so tall as Thomas. But there
were points of resemblance in that both wore
white rundown collar and light striped
trousers.
Thomas was set at liberty that afternoon as
he told the detectives plausible story. He
said he came from South Carolina about five
months ago and was never in the hands of the
police before. He was used to looking after
horses and was hunting for job
The detectives were not satisfied, and on Sat-
urday Gibson went TO Thomas lodging house
on Mason street aud took him again TO the resi-
dents whose houses had been entered. but they
could not swear positively he was the man. SO
he was for the second time set al liberty.
On Saturday afternoon tt was discovered that
Thomas was sentenced 10 two years in Folsom
State Prison on October II, 1890, fOt burglary
in the second degree in Alameda. AT that time
he had lot Of jewelry in his possession which
he could not account for. He was then 20 years
OF age. He was released from Folsom on June
II, 1892. '--
This fact and the contradictory statements
uldue Dy ElIn put inherent construction on
the business and the detectives decided to
again arrest him. So he was taken 10 the City
Prison and booked on the charge of Vagrancy.
The detectives have no hesitation in saying
that Thomas committed the burglaries on Mob
Hill, but unfortunately no one can positively
id n fy him. His past record gives color 10
their belief.
There is also a strong suspicion that he was
the burglar who entered the residence of Rev.
Mr.. Wolff in Alameda and nearly murdered
him and his wife by hacking them with
Ratchet. The man seen in the neighborhood
was described as either Japanese or a negro,
and Thomas answers the description as to build
and general appearance.
He admitted 10 Detective Gibson yesterday
that he had been living in Oakland until re-
Gently and was in the habit of paying visit to
Alameda, the last one being about Two weeks
ago. He is a cool customer and tried to swear
down Gibson's throat that he was never asked
when arrested on Friday If he had ever been IN
the hands OF the police before. He dresses in
elegant style and had plenty of money TO spend
on luxurieS. Where he got it is a puzzle.
III burglary cannot be proved against him he
Will at least get six months for vagrancy.
