| Inc capture OF CndrleS tray, the
man caught in the act of burglariZing
the home of Mr.. John B. Cries. on
/ Sunday night, is one of the most i'm
portant made in some time. As was
| expected, it has been shown that Gray
is responsible for nearly all Of the
: burglaries that have taken place in the
city during the past few weeks. When
arrested Gray had nothing on his per-
son that would lead to his identity,
and he positively refused to give any
information regarding himself.
| The officers OF the police force did not
| rest with the mans capture, but i'm
mediately took up the matter and made
a thorough examination into the at
fair. The result of the investigation
was of far more Importance than was
i at first expected and led to the re-
covery of most of the articles that
have been stolen.
Acting Chief Of Police Rhodes started
the investigation on Sunday night,
the officers looked at Gray and stated
that they had seen him about some of
the houses of ill-fame in the city. Ac-
cordingly the search was directed in
| that direction. In the place kept by
Kitty Hicks on Commercial street
was found a woman who went by the
name of Jennie. She said that a young
man answering to Gray's description
had come to her and offered for sale
some jewelry. This consisted of gold
rings and a gold watch and chain.
These articles were offered to her for
the exceedingly small sum of SIC.
Jennie jumped at the chance and pur-
chased the whole lot When the Of
ficers heard her story she was taken
to the police station for the purpose
of Identifying Gray as the man who
sold her the jewelry. Jennie told the
police where to find the articles and
SiegfuS and Lund went to the place
and got them. The identity of Gray
was then examined into, and it was
found that he was the man who had
sold Jennie the jewelry, and was
known to her by the name of Larry.
The woman did not know any more
about the man other than that he had
come to see her at Kitty Hicks place
two or three times.
The goods recovered through this
woman were q diamond ring one gold
watch and a lady's long chain, a child's
small necklace and a lady's double
watch chain. These articles were
stolen from Mrs w G. Gain of 220
South Fourth West street, on the
evening of Nov. &c.
With this find as a starter it was
easy to find the rest. Gray was taken
before Acting Chief Rhodes and cues
toned closely, with the result that he
finally told that ne had some more
things at his room in the Daft block
and he had also left some in Mrs For
rests apartments in the Albert block.
The police went to the Daft block and
took al the things that he had left
in his room. This consisted of a trunk
and some other personal effects The
things were found at Mrs. Forests
rooms as he said.
The list OF goods recovered from
these two places is as follows: gold
watch and chain, the latter being found
at Mrs. Forests. These articles be
lonSed to e. J. Mullikin of $50 West
First South street and had been stolen
from there between the hours of 3 and
p M, Nov. o. A ladys gold watch,
marked IT. q. B., one gold chain and
a pair of pearl opera glasses were also
recovered. These were identified as
the property of Mrs. Charles E. Bean
of II West Fifth South street, her
nome being entered and burglarized on
the night of Nov. 2S and these articles
were stolen.
Ihe following articles were found in

These articles are also thought to be
stolen, and are held to await identifi-
cation
This is as much as could be learned at
inc ponce station, but The Herald's in
Vestigatiors have Led to the discovery
of some more articles and other facts
of Importance in the case When Gray,
or Larry, was arrested in the house OF
MIR. John y. Cries. he was arrersted on
the spot, but nothing of Importance was
found upon him. But it seems that
Gray he'd thrown away all the papers
that would possibly incrimnate him
any further. Mr.. Cries made a further
search Of his home and found that the
burglar had thrown some articles in the
box IL The kitchen, on which he was
sitting at the time Of his arrest.
.nong these things were found some
jewelry belonging to Mr.. Cries. which
had evidently been taken by Gray be-
fore he was discoyered; notebook and
come other papers. There was a re-
ceipt dated Nov. TO- 1897. 1t was signed
