DOTTED BRASS BUTTONS
First Precinct Police Did Duty in
Citizens Clothes.
LOOKING FOR THE BURGLARS
Put on More Men and Reverse the
Usual Order of Things-NO Calls
Turned In From the Beats After
Midi night.

Dark, stalwart figures strobe around in
the sh adows of the First precinct or Iuomed
UP in unexpected ways, times and places
throughout the central section of the city
between midnight and dawn of today.
These figures were the police of the First
precinct clad in civilian dress. This dis
guise was assumed because OF the numerous
recent bold robberies in that part OF the
city covered by this precinct. Mai, Moore
told The Times that this method was
resOrted to at the discretion of the lieu
tenants to render the small and badly
scattered force more effective.
Maj. Moore stated that the robberies had
been perpetrated by what was evidently a
gang of expert sneak operators, and. these
were the hardest to catch. 1t was exceed
ingly difficult, said the major, for a man
in uniform TO land one of these male
factors. Then the call box system operated
In favor of this character of thief.
ONLY IN THE FIRST
He knew where the boxes Were, and thus
knew Just about what part of beat a
policeman would be patrpliug at a given
time. Maj. Moore did not know that the
order putting the men in citizens clothes
extended to other precincts. He thought
that 1t must have been local To the First.
determined effort was made by the
the men on duty after midnight We're not
in Uniform. and had reversed the order in
which they usually patrol their beats, and
being careful to avoid the can-boXes on the
hour.
The Times visited Station No. 1 today.
and found that the men on duty till g had
turned in at their boxes with becoming
regularity. but that after IL. till morning,
not a single bOSSiad been pulled Opposite
the name of EACH officer should have been
the exact time bS the station clock at which
he turned in, but anSteid OF the usual figures
there were intense blanks.
WHAT THE OFFICERS SAID.
The station mi sst have been unconmonly
quiet, for one -of the main features OF
life there is :he rattle of the police
phone, and the responses OF the station
clerk, but last I.iEht after ., all this W as
absent. The policemen, who We're in
citizens clothes were Flather and Kill
martin, Schuylcr and Herndun, Byer and
McCcrk, Barry and Emncrt Silbright and
Hooper, and Gavin and TompkinS
One OF the explanations Given at the
station as to Why no calls were turned
in was that thewires were Geranged The
chief operator at headquarters told The
Times that the wires Were all right, and
that there was no record of any trouble
with them last night. Another cXpIana-
ton was that an electric storm had de
moraliZed communication with the boxes,
but inquiry at the Naval Observatory
SHOW ed that there had been no electric
storm.
II was denied officially that there was
any increase in the strength of the re-

FOR LIFE.
Claus A. BIixt, the Self Confessed
Murderer of Catherine Cling,
Pleads Guilty and is Sentenced to
Spend the Remainder Of His Life in
the Saltwater Penitentiary,

Minneapolis, May Although the
trial of Claus A. BliXt was not expect
ed to occur until May Il, the seii-co
fessed murderer decided yesterday to
plead guilty aJ once and let his atone
meut for the hearJless killing of Cath
crime Cling commence. His attorney
pointed ont to him that if he stood
trial the jury would probably not con-
vict him of murder in the first degree,
and that he would thus escape hang
ing but BliXt preferred to confess his
guilt and throw himself upon the
mercy of Judge Pond.
Accordingly, this morning BliXt
was brought into court and changed
his plea to guilty. County Attorney
Nye said that while the crime was one
of the most cruel and revolving on rec
ord, yet it was evident that he was not
so deeply guilty as Harry Hayward,
nor SO worthy of hanging. He was a
man of low order Of intelligence and
of q weak will power. II chad been
influenced by the superior mentality
of Hayward to commit the horrible
crime, and the County Attorney be-

be subserved if the prisoner were sem
fenced to the penitentiary for life.
r. r. Odell, his attorney, explained
his position, and then Judge Pond
asked BliXt if he had anything to say.
He replied: NO, your Honor. l am
willing TO leave the whole mater to
the court and to God in heaven
Judge Pond thereupon, after char
acterizing the crime as most cruel and
revolving, declared that his first inn
pulse was not to remit the death pen
atty. but he had been moved by the
considerations urged by the attorneys,
by the services of the prisoner in help
ing truth to prevail in the case OF Har-
ry Hayward, and by other considera-
tions not necessary to rehearse. He
therefore sentenced BliXt 10 spend the
rest Of his life in the Saltwater peni-
Tertiary. The prisoner was led away
with a happy smile on his face. His
conversion seems to be sincere, and
his action to-day was in accordance
with the advice of his wife and Rev.
e. A. Skogsberg, his spiritual ad-
wiser.
