NUMBER OF BURGLARIES.
Emil Thonn Smoothly Worked for
500.

Yesterday morning Emil Thonn,
the Fifth avenue saloonkeeper, was
made the victim of fleece game to
the tune of 800. In the morning a
fellow whose name was unknown to
Thonn entered the saloon, and after
spending some money became very
talkativc, and worked into the good
graces of Thonn. He hung around
all day, and shortly after dinner he
stepped out. Thorn in the mean
time was taken sick and went to bed.
When the stranger again stepped in
Thonn's brother was behind the bar,
and on an inquiry from the smooth
talker as to where Emil was, the
bartender informed him he was up
stairs sick. The stranger at once
asked to see him, and was shown mp
stairs and left talking with Thonn
Shortly after the bartender went up
stairs and told Thonn he was going
to tap fresh key OF beer. and the
stranger at once offered his services
for the purpose, leaving his hat on
wash stand in the room. The par
ties went down and the stranger
tapped the beer, and rs soon as fin
ished he discovered to his surprise (?>
that he had left his hat upstairs, and
went after it. He returned in a
very few moments and stood around
and talked awhile. He then left, and
Thonn discovered shortly after that
he had been relieved of 500, and
that, too, when the man went up
after his hat.
