THE BROWN BRUGLARY
Ole Robertson, Mrs Frank Browns
coachman was arrested last night at about
10 o'clock by Night Watchman Frank
Wright and charged with the burglary of
Mrs. Browns house Saturday night. The
arrest was made only after Wright had
done some clever detective work. 1t seems
that on the night of the entrance of Mrs
Browns house Robertson was in a condi-
ton of suffering. Mrs. Brown had sur
prised a man in her room at about o'clock
Nothing was taken, but the lady was, of
course, frightened. Robertson helped her
search the house. The fact is, it was Rob-
ertson himself who leaped from the win
dow, and in doing this he hurt himself Sc
verely. He confessed today that he had
entered the room, but said that he had not
intended robbery. He was going back to
the room last night when placed under ar
rest by Wright.
A. X. Moropulos, the Greek. who was ar
rested by Marshal Lacey Saturday night
on suspicion of being implicated in the at
tempted burglary at Mrs. Browns resi-
dence on Orange Grove avenue. and after
ward released, evidently thinks he is quite
"hoodoo,' and that anybody who puts
any obstacles in his way is bound to come
to grief, sooner or later. He tells with
great apparent satisfaction of the several
people who have caused him trouble at
different time, by having him arrested on
various charges, and how they are all dead
now, while he still lives and is in fighting
trim as of old.
