broken out in the Almshouse at Snake
Hill. The patients were removed to the

HALEY WAS NO THIEF.
Found . Box eff Copper which Had
Fallen from a Wasen-

Christopher Haley, a truck driver. Of
No. 2s East Hath street. New York, was
driving a truck on West Newark avenue
Yesterday afternoon, when ne saw a
broken box filed with copper springs
living in the middle Of the road. He
thought that the box had fallen from
some wagon and he picked it Up and put
it on his wagon. When he reached the
Haekensaek bridge he inquired If anyone
had lost a box of copper A hundred
wards or so further down the road he was
overtaken by Bicycle Cop Winters and
placed under arrest for stealing the goods
This morning in court he convinced
Justice Douglass that he was no thief
and that he merely picked up the copper
because he thought that some one had
lost 1t. and so was discharged.
The Consolidated Traction people. to
whom the stuff belonged, also said il
vas very probable that that was the
case. as the box was broken in such a
n as TO look as if It had fallen from
a wagon. They would not press the
charge. and in fact asked that Haley b
discharged.

Said He Was Held Up. \

At about 1880 Saturday night the
people living in the vicinity Of Third
street and First avenue northeast,
and in fact nearly everyone in the
city, were awakened and alarmed at
the blood curdling yelling of some
man. Night Policeman Richardson
hnstened in the direction from whence
the noise ca me, and caught the fellow
on Third street between Broadway
and First Eavenue northeast, and
took him to the city lookup.
He was n Scandinavian named
Johnson, and said that a man had
attempted to hold him up. He
claims that he struck the foot pad
with his dinner pail which he still
carried in his hand in battered
condition. He claimed that after
striking the man with the pail he
ran down Third street with the foot
pad after him, and that was the
reason of his yelling.
He also claimed that as soon IN
the officer came in sight his would-be
assailant gave up the chase. a /
The policeman saw no one chasing
the man, and with pretty strong
evidence that the fellow was drunk,
he locked him up for the night.
