 Chief McDonald's office in the city jail looked more like "a clothing store last night than anything else. There were stacks of pants, overcoats and all kinds of mems clothing.

 PARTIES SUSPIcIONED.
 Officer Patton was put to work on the case. He soon found evidence enough to warrant the arrest of Lovey 'Richardson and Harry Kelley. Richardson was found at his falaher's home on Walker street. and arrested by Officers Hamilton and Patton. When Richardson saw the off1- cers he made for the back door, put was met by Officer Hamtlton@ O'Donnei and Kelley were soon landed ana the search begun for the stolen goods.

 MADE A CONFESSION.
 After large quatitiy of the goods had been found the SupectS were conIrohleo with the evidence, one at time
 Richardson and Kelly both confessed Richardson claimed that he watched while the others did the work. Kelly as- serted that the store had been emtered before he arrived and that he did nothing more than help carry the goods to the Richardson hous-. O'Donnell was ques- 4ioned but he would give nothing away Both Richardson and Kelly accussd him of the crime to his face and he did not deny 1t.
 Richardson and Kelly both said the robbery was committed about 8 o'clock and that they return=d to the city from the Richardson house by 10 o'clock.
 ODonnsll was released from Ccalburg in August. H. had served a term of one year for receiving stolsn property. Kelly has also been recently released from Coalburg He was sent up for fifteen months from Mobile on a similar charge. He bears several tattoo marks and claims to have oncs been a sailor.
 WOMAN IN THE CASE.
 Last night Else Laterday, an inmate of the Shields woman's dive was arrested on a charge of having stolen property.
 Bob ODonnel visited her room about 10 o'clock Monday night. She said she was asleep when he came and was ig- norarit of an overcoat having been con- cealed in her bed. The coat was found in her room by the officers yesterday.
 She has recently been released from Coalburg. She was sent up for disor- derly conduct and vagrancy. She met O'DonneH while there
 How the robbery was committed at o'clock without attracting attention is a mystery. The back door was broken open and the goods found at the Rich ardson house would be a good load for three men to carry without inviting sus- plcion, to say nothing of the 113 claimed to be missing.
 The officers are of the opinion that all the goods stolen by the parties now in prison have been found. It Is possible that the door was left open and another robbery was con . tied.
 The pol-ce feel relieved that the three men have been landed. They are all tough characters and their capture re- fleets credit on the department.
