CHARLES BODEMER A THIEF
For Several MOnthslHe Has Robbed
Wright 4 Lynch's Cigar Store.
He Was Arrested With the Stolen
Property in His Possession-He
Tells About IA Presentiment.

A thief's presentiment was verified to-
day, when Detectives Boyd and Helan
placed Charles Bodemer under arrest on
the serious charge of housebreaking in
the night The prisoner is a well-drcssed
and intelligent fellow, twenty-six years
of age, aud he has confessed that he sys-
tematically robbed the wholesale tobacco
house of Wright 4 Lynch, No SO7 Seventh
street northwest, carrying away cigars
worth in the aggregate several hundred
dollars.
Bodemer has been entering the estab-
hshment by rear door, using a dupi--
cate key. He usually selected the mid
night hour, when the police We're being
relieved, to enter the place
Il am not at all superstitous,'' said
the culprit to Detective Boyd at head
quarters today, but yesterday | had q
presentiInent that if | entered that store

belief SO fastened itself upon my mind that
/ could not shake it off 1t became q GER
tainty TO me, and / was so much impressed
with it that when / went into the cigar es-
Establishment at midnight, determined il
would be my last time.
II came out with five boxes of cigars,
and at once threw my duplicate key into
sewer, being firmly resolved never to go
there again. But violated the present.
ment by entering the store last night, and
here l am, a prisoner, with no hope OF
escape
Bodemer added that hereafter he will
be a firm believer in presentiments and tele-
pathy.
Mr. Wright, the dealer, called at head
quarters today and fully identified his
property He said his place has been sys-
tematically robbed for a month past He
has been irving to discover the source Of
leakage, hut nothing could be learned until
Detectives Boyd and Helan started to
work on the case. His losses Will reach
$3.50.
Bodemer was captured this forenoon
at Thirteenth street and Pennsylvania
avenue by the detectives. He had in lis
possession five boxes of cigars strapped
and was going from store to
store representing himself as a drummer
for a Baltimore wholesale tobacco house
and trying to sell the cigars.

Judge Kimball Decides That Store
keepers Cannot Allot Space.
An interesting case involving the Use of
the public sidewalks by bootblacks and
other outside Independent business Con-
Germs on small scale was decided by Judge
Kimball this morning. William Patton, a
young colored man, was before Judge
Kimball this morning charged with main
tanning a bootblack stand on street
near the city postoffice.
1t appeared that Patton's chair occupied
some three feet of the sidewalk and was
within the building line of the store who-e
proprietor had accorded Patton the use
of the sidewalk After hearing the evil
dence the court decided that Patton's
use of the sidewalk was illegal.
His honor said that the courts had de-
cided that the privilege accorded to store
proprietors to occupy any or all of the
four-foot space Immediately abutting their
property was personal one and could not
be transferred to an outsider unless the
bargain be made in good faith. Patton
promised to remove the stand from the
sidewalk, and his personal bonds were
taken.
