Brevities

PASADENA, March 20.-(Office of The
Herald, So East Colorado st) The Greek
fruit dealer who was arrested last night
upon suspicion of having been implicated
In the burglary OF Mrs. Anna Browns
house on the corner of congress street and
Orange Grove avenue, was discharged this
morning from custody after being con-
fined over might in the city Jail. A tee-
phone message at about o'clock last night
brought Marshal Lacey to the scene of the
trouble. Mrs. Brown had entered an up
stair room and found man there. She
screamed and the man jumped from the
window, alfghting on his hands and knees
and leaving an imprint in the soft dir.
The Marshal saw a man sitting on the
stone curb on the East Colorado street hill
as he went up. Upon his return the man
was still sitting there, and the marshal,
after questioning him. arrested him. He
proved to be ''Morros. the Greek" as he is
dubbed in Los Angeles, where he is we'll
known to the police. Morros denied all
knowledge Of the burglary and stated that
he had simply gone up there to see party
who had fruit to SELL He had not seen the
party owing to the lateness Of the hour.
He had sat down on the wall to rest. He
other suspicious circumstance was the
fact that he had hailed the marshal with
Hello, Charley" before seeing who the
marshal was. Mr.. Lacey suspected that
Morros had taken him for his partner In
the burglary, assuming that the man really
was guilty. The man also gave an as
sumed name. However, there seemed not
enough evidence, in the eyes of the mar
shal, to hold the suspect.
THE BOY IN BLUE
George Babcock, sailor from the Mon
terey, which is in San Diego harbor, has
been spending few days in Pasadena on
leave of absence. Last night he was walk
ing along one of the business streets when
several young hoodlums began "joshing"
him. Babcoek warned the boys to let him
alone, but Jim Haver chose not to heed the
advice, and indulging in further insolence,
put himself in the way Of the young ma
rines fist. The result was black eye for
Haver, and the boy in blue was permitted
to go about unmolested. Today he was
caught riding a bicycle on the sidewalk,
but in consideration of his ignorance of the
city ordinance he was not placed under ar
rest.
