Point of n Revolver.

his name as Andrew Jackson, was brought
to the police station with his hands tied
securely behind him. He had been found in
the cellar of DIR. Marsee's house, at No. 1853
North East street, by Merchant policeman
Miller. and was charged with housebreak-
ing. The officer had found the man and,
summoning help, had tied his hands with q
piece of rope. He evidently considered
Jackson as a dangerous man, as he kept
him covered with a revolver until the pa
troll wagon arrived and took him off his
hands. jackson says he just went into the
cellar to take a sleep, but as he had money
enough to pay for a bed. it is thought thai
he meant to take more than a sleep.
