Albert vreeland, a florist, lives In big house
in four-acre enclosure At Westside and Com
munlpaw avenues. Jersey City. Large trees
hide the house from view on all sides. few
minutes before O'Clock yesterday morning Mr..
vrceland was awakened by noise in the base
ment. At the time Albert Alberte, the burglar,
who Is now in the Tombs in this city awaiting
removal TO Jersey City, was keeping that part OF
tho city in state OF terror by his almost nightly
raids. Chief Murphy advised everybody 10 pro-
vide themselves with revolvers and police
whistles. Mr.. Nreeland purchased revolver
and . whistle When he heard the noise in
the basement yesterday morning. Mr.. Vree-
land didn't think of the whistle. II wouldn't
havs been Of much use II he had, because q po-
licemau is a rare sight In that isolated part Of
the city.
lie did think OF his revolver. however, and arm
ing himself with Il he crept down stairs without
waiting 10 dress himself. When about half way
down he saw mans figure in the hall. Tho
man saw him at the same time and turned TO
fee. Mr.. Vreeland fired at him. but missed.
The man ran through the hall into the kitchen
pursued by Mr.. Vreeland, who fired another
shot, but missed again. The fugitive closed the
door leading from tho hail into the kitchen and
barred Mr., Nreelands progress temporarily.
Mr.. Vreeland got the door open In time TO
the burglar climbing out of the window. He
fired another shot, but that, too, missed Its
mark. Mr.. Vreeland ran over to the window
and saw two men sprinting over toward the
road dodglnR in and out between the trees.
Mr.. Nreeland returned tn his room and put on
some clothing. The shooting had attracted the
attention of Policeman Stevens, and when he
learned the facts from Mr.. Vreeland he tele-
phoned to the Communipaw avenue station.
Capt McKaiR and Detective Hottie responded,
and q search of the house was made, but there
was nothing missing. The burglar had got In
through n basement window, which had been
left unfRstened when the family went to bed.
On their way back to the police station Capt.
McKaig and Detective Hottie wero met by Mr..
William VanderZee OF Lexington avenue. who
told them that his house had been visited by
to report IL. He said he was awakened by the
noise OF breaking glass; and discovered that the
dining room window had been smashed. A
rudey fashioned step ladder was found under
the window.
About O'Clock Policeman Stevens found two
men and hailed them to the police station.
They described themselves as William Condor
Of SO Golden street. Newark. and John Ray
mond OF 7g Commerce street. Newark. They
told several contradictory stories and finally
admitted that they did not live In Newark. but
had como from Syracuse I'm search OF work.
Mr.. Vreeland thought that Condor looked like
the man he had fred at but could not positively
identify him. The prisoners are held and their
records Will be looked up by the police. The
people living In tho Fourth precinct have not
fully recovered from the terror created by Al
