man Who Grabbed Him
Redhanded.

Policeman Maxwell of the Seventh
street station, was passing the saloon Of
Patrick McQuade, at No. GOA Henderson
street, at one o'clock this morning, when
he noticed that a panel in one of the
front doors had been removed. There
was dim light in the saloon, which en-
abled the policeman to see a man in
side. He called to the man to open the
door, and his request not being complied
with, the officer drew his revolver and
covering the man from the open panel,
ordered him to throw up his hands.
The fellow inside, who proved to be
James @ OBrien. twenty-one years old, of
No. 151 rlfteenth street, and one of the
nerviest thieves the police had to deal
with in some time, complied with Max
wells order. The bar of the door was
taken down and the door thrown open.

Mr.. Murphy was awaked and caed down
to the street. Mr. Murphy was unable to
say whether the man was McQuade's son
or not. The thief Kept his nerve and
continued to chaff Maxwell about his fool

him to drink. 1t was noticed that he
kept his face shielded as much as possi-
