ANOTHER 4 BURGLAR CAUGHT
Recovery Of All Of the Stolen
Goods
His Name II Joseph Silver and He Is Supposed
to Hsve Burgisrlzed Capt. Thorn
Residence

Detectives Steele and Goodman arrested
Joseph Silver last Saturday for having
burglarized tho resideuce Of Captain c. e.
Thorn, on East Third street.
The family are all away at Santa Mon.
lea. and no one occupied the house ex-
cept at night, when friend sleeps there.
The burglary was committed during the
daytime. last Thursday. Many of the
rooms were ransacked from the top to
the bottom and plunder to the value of
over $500 was secured. Nearly everything
taken was some article of wearing ap-
parel, one in particular beng valuabl Q
lace scarf over 100 years old. A few trim.
kets were also secured.
The detectives state that the night OF
the robbery revolver belon ging to Cap
tain Thorn was lett at the saloon on the
corner of Third and Main streets by the
thief. Silver was seen the same
evening but managed to elude the Off
GERS. He remained in hiding for several
days, but was finally locate d at the Olive
flats, on First street, where the arrest was
made.
In the room was found satchel which
contained nearly all of the stolen articles.
Mrs. Silver, the wife of the accused, ex-
planned its presence by saying it had
been left there by man her husband
had met at the employ ment agency.
Silver claims to he o printer. The de.
tectives say that he is dangerous man.
He was arraigned before Justice Owens
yesterday for burglary, and his case set
for examination on the Goth at $3.50 q. m.
His bail was fixed at $4,000.

moulds, metal bars, coiners tools, and
all the paraphernalia for counterfeiting
five ten, twenty-five and ffty-cent
pieces. the smallest coins being the most
frequently initiated by him. As an ex-
cuse for his actions he pleaded that he
was addicted to the morphine habit, the
craving for the drug necessitating some
m cans of his procuring it.
In prosecuting the case the United
States attorney. George Denis, decided at
first to treat the parents as criminals. and
ries to the offense. Yesterday Miss Sadie
Ormandy was tried on that ground before
commissioner Van Dyke.
Miss Ormandy is quite an attractive
young lady, with black eyes and curly
skirt and a white tie, and a jaunty sailor
hat was perched on her head.
All during9the examination she bore up
bravely, but it was manifest that her sor-
row for the plight Of her relatives was
causing her an effort to suppress the
tears.
The only witness in the case was Arthur
Cohen. a groceryman, whose place Of busi-
ness is located at Seventh and Olive
streets. In answer to the questions of
the United States district attorney he
stated that since November of last year
he had had quantity. of bogus nickels
kept a sharp lookout for the persons who
passed these coins upon him, and at last
fastened his suspicious upon the Or
mandy children. When questioned as to
whether he was in possession OF any of
this spurious currency he replied in the
Affirmative. and dug up a scent piece
which he said was given him by Clifford
Ormandy. 1t was closely wrapped in a
piece of pink paper bearing the date OF
May %, 1895, written in lead pencil. Cohen
said that after receiving the money he
wrapped it up and marked the date upon
it for purposes of Identification. 1t was
offered IN evidence. no objection being
made by the defense.
Cohen claimed that he had no money
in his possession given him by Sadie Or
mandy, and was then released from the
stand, to his evident relief.
Attorney Denis stated to the court that
he could show further circumstances that
tended to show the girls guilt, but that
he preferred to submit the case on the
evidence already given. After a short con-
sideration of the matter Commissioner
Van Dyke concluded to dis miss the case.
and continued the hearing of the others
until today at 2 D. m.
1t is understood that the boy will not be
prosecuted, but the detectives are hopeful
mandy Of completely in the offense.
The coin shown as evidence OF Or
mandv's skillfulness with mould and
melting pot is a fair imitation of the reg
ulation coin Of the republic. In size and
execution it is well calculated to win a
"stein" from the wariest of barkeepers,
and only in point of weight does it fall
below the standard. OF course it possesses
no particular "ring" and the mixture of
potmetal is greatly predominant. 1t is
the only coin at present standing as evi.
dence Of the Ormandys' nefarlous labors.

heart. Ullery died in about minutes
after being shot.
There was but one witness to the affair,
Edward Martin, clerk in the hardware
store. and he did not remain long in the
vicinity after hearing the first shot tired.

dispute the night before in a saloon. and

Martin says he. knew that ill feeling ex-
listed between them, but paid no particu-
lar attention to their conversation. He
heard Roemer say to Ulle-y that he had
