A BUSY BURGLAR,
Confesses to Ten RObberies in This City
And Will Stay in Jail For


officer Woodrufflast night made ar inn
portant arrest, when he took into custody
John Petit, young fellow who has been
tramping about this locality for months
Since the West Commerce street and
the Hampton street burglaries the police
officers have been industriously working
on the case Several persons have been
under suspicion but positive evidence
was lacking
Last Monday week John Petit, a fellow
who has been living around here much
after the fashion of a tramp, was talking
to Officer Woodruff, and without any
apparent cause, left the officer and started
to run. The policeman did not see the
fellow again until late yesterday after.
noon when he was picked up and taken
to the City Hall.
There officers Woodruff and Lore gave
him an opportunity of telling his story.
and finally he weakened, and confessed
to no less than ten burglaries in this city
and Vineland.
Petit gave in detail the story of his
crime. He said that without assistance
he visited the several residences on West
Commerce street, and also the houses on
Cottage avenue, Atlantic and Hampton
streets. He explained how he entered
the various places. and what he took
from each one. Some houses he got in
by going through cellar windows, while
others he secured entrance to by boring a
hole through the window sash, and with
a wire pulled back the catch.
Several watches which he had stolen he
Kept until the 18th inst, when he sold
them to persons here. To whom he dis
posed of them he did not know. The
purchasers were strangers.
After committing the burglaries here
Petit went over to Vineland, and entered
several residences there, securing booty.
Petit declared that he had no accom-
plice in the work, and was alone re
sponsible for the crimes. He was sent
to Jail, in default of bail, for further
hearing.
Another Arrest.
The story that was given out as to Petit
having no accomplice, was for the pur-
pose of throwing John Barber off the
track. Barber was known to have been
with Petit, and he is as deep in the
crime as anybody. He was located this
morning by officer Lore and Mayor APP
pelgate at Five Points, near Vineland. He
has made partial confession.

How to Look Good.

Good looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely on a healthy
condition of all the vital organs. If the
liver is inactive, you have a bilious look;
If your stomach is disordered, you have a

fected, you have pinched look. Secure

tain and Randolph, and there were host
OF them. There was only one exception
and that was his brother-in-law. He did
not see Lee at Port Norris on the day of
the horse race.
The defense rested. Lawyer Trenchard
summed up the testimony for the defense.
Inc prosecutor went over the case for
the State, the Judge charged the jury and
it retired.I
The next case moved by the State was
lhat against Marietta Surran. Walnut
street, charged with being a common
scold.
Mrs. Hannah Chamberlain, the com
plalnart, was sworn and took the stand
Inc drlft OF her remarks was that Mrs
Surran called her 'icat,n a ethiefu and
various other vile names. Mrs. Surran
llVed but two doors from her and each
time she appeared in the yard, Mrs. Sur
ran would heap slurs upon her head and
shower vile imprecations at her,
some OF the testimony brought up was
TWO years old, nearly the age limit. Ac-
cording to the testimony given, she an
peared to have a particular grudge
against hucksters and fish men, as well as
neighbors.
upon application of Mr.. Sheppard
Judge hoagland ordered the iury to ac-
quit the defendant, without any defense
being offered.
Wednesday Morning.
Ihere is nothing in Court that is inter-
esting the public sufficiently to fill the
court room with spectators.
Ihls morning in addition to the Jurors
ofhcers and witnesses, there were not a
dozen persons in the building.
Everything points to windup of BUSH
ness tomorrow, so that sentences will
be pronounced on Friday.
There has been some talk about Prosa.
cutor Logue again trying the vineland
rape case in which jury this term. could
not agree.
Late yesterday afternoon the jury in
the case of Morris Lee, charged with IL
legal dredging, returned a verdict Of
guilty.
Jury was TO be empanelled to try an
appeal case, but just as the Court was
ready to name the jury, the counsel de
clded to waive the jury, and the case will
be tried by the Court
There was little surprise in store for
the jurors after Court had gotten pretty
well started
William Johnson, William peonles.
David Brodwater and BENJAMIN Ken.
nedy We're placed upon trial, charged
with an atfray.
Immediately after the jury had been
empannelied in this case Prosecutor
Logue notified the court that he would
nave nothing further for the Jurors to act
upon, and Judge Hoagland discharged
all the jurors for the term, excepting the
panel which was to try the case.
The four defendants We're represented
by John S Mitchell, Samuel Iredell and
Robert S. Schiller.
The evidence in the case is nothine
different from the story that was but a
short time ago given in these columns.
Inc evidence tended to show that the
lour fellows became mixed up in Satur
day night street row, which resulted in
johnson shooting revolver, and a fellow
named Emmett being wounded in the
neck, The evidence presented by the
prosecutor tended to embrace all of the
defendants in the scrap.
The fight was the result of a preyious
alteration in beer place outside of the
town.
