Philadelphia. July ga special to

a prisoner for hours this morning by
Miss Hazel Bowman, a plucky young
woman. with a revolver. Miss Bow
man contemplated going away on a
visit to Atlanta City and had consid-
cradle money In her room and valu-
able set of diamonds. Richards, who is
a professional thief. and has done time
for burglary. learned that she was
about to leave the city. and timed his
visit accordingly.
Miss Bowman was rather late In re-
tiring last night, and on account Of the
heat did not sleep soundly. About a.
m. she was awakened by a noise on the
roof. and after waiting a few moments
in suspense saw the head of a colored
man peeping cautiously down through
skylight over her head. Miss Bowman
seemingly took no notice of the man.
but getting out Of bed. went to another
room and returned with some cigarettes
and she also brought revolver along.
which she slipped below her pillow.
Lighting one Of the cigarettes the
young woman puffed away, apparently
unconcerned.
After time she took the weed from
her lips and made feint Of going to
sleep. Soon the suspicious of the burg
lar. II he had any. were lulled. and
after taking survey of the room, he
commenced to quietly descend by way
of the skylight. When the body Of the
man was about half way through the
aperture Miss Bowman leveled her re-
volver on him and ordered him to stop.
She seemed so determined that the man
saw nothing else to do but to make n
virtue OF necessity and obey. Miss Bow
man lit another cigarette and calmly
smoked, while she kept the burglar In
this awkward predicament until a.
m. At that hour Officer Dalton came
along and placed the burglar under ar
rest. He recognized Richards as one
of the most noted criminals in the city.
Magistrate Brandner this morning SEN
fenced him to four months in the work
house.
