alter, in Trouble on Account of 1t.

Edward Hayes, custodian and door-keeper
at English's Opera House, was arrested by
Detective Weible last evening on the charge
of grand larceny. None of his friends was
able last night to put up the $500 bond re-
quired for his release, and he had to stay in
the coop" at the police station all night
His friends say he is victim of circum-
stances. He was working at the theater last
Tuesday or Wednesday, he could not re-
member last night which it was, and one of
the colored janitress gave him a brooch
pin, saying she had found it ''on the other
side" The theater was dark, the only
lights being one or two on the stage, and he
could not see the pin clearly. Mechanically,
he stuck it in his waistcoat--it was no I'M
usual thing for him to find small pieces of
jewelry of no considerable value in the the
alter. The next day the manager, Ad Miller
asked him if he had found pin. Hayes re-
piled that he had not, fogetting, he says. the
pin that the cOlored woman had given him
Miller then asked him if a colored woman
had not given him a pin. Hayes recollected
Miller told him he should hunt for
it, and nothing more was said
Hayes says he did hunt for the
pin, 1t had been reported to Manager
Miller that Mrs. VIII E. English had lost a
gold pin, set with diamond presented 10
her by Crawford county friends. in the the
alter Last evening Detective Weible took
HAYES to see Captain Colbert. The captain
allowed him 10 return to the theater with
the detective and search through two piles
of rubbish that had gathered during the
week Hayes said he had looked through
half of the first pile when the detective
stopped him and led him back to the police
station Later Hayes's rooms were
searched but the pin was not found.
