BUSY BURGLARS
 LEAVE NO TRACE
A NEW METHOD OF ENTERING HOUSES HAS BEEN SUCCESS FLU AND THIEVES HAVE MADE LARGE HAULS.

For the third time in the past three weeks burglars have cut their way through the floor of building to burglar ize it. Only two weeks ago thieves made their way through the floor of the l.. & N. Commissary and another night through a floor at Ensley. Each time getting away with a wagon load of goods, leaving behind them no trace on which the detectives could work. Satur- day night they crawled many feet un- der the Goldman store, at the corner of Twenty-sixth street and Eighth ave nue, and succeeded in again getting a wagon load of supplies without leaving the slightest clue.
 It is believed by the police department that the same gang is committing all the thefts. Each time they have taken only such things as will be useful to them either to wear or to eat, and their methods have been the same. They select a place under the house where they can work conveniently, and then tap the floor to find if there is anything above them to keep them from getting through. They cut small hole in the floor with knife and insert a key-hole saw with which they cut out place large enough to get their bodies through. They take what they want, load it on waiting wagon and drive away.
 In the raid Saturday night the burglars took several sacks of flour, ladies and gentlem ens hose. forty pairs of shoes, a quantity of tobacco. meat, handkerchiefs, candy. suspenders and many other ar ticies. Periodically the police depart ment has this same description of bur giary to work on. and so far the burglars have been successful in hiding their iden- tity.

Trial Began September 6.


 ..The trial of Fannie Bryant be- gan on September 6, 1889, and, as stated resulted in her conviction of mur- der in the first degree and sentence to the penitentiary for|life,"
 Then, in his own handwriting, Judge Greene transcribed the testimony in the case which he sent to Mrs. Trapp.
 After reviewing some of the testimony in the case, Judge Green continues:
 'I have always had grave doubts about Fannie Bryant having had anything to do with the killing or having had any knowledge of it until after 1t was com mitted. In other words, l do not think the evidence satisfactorily establishes the fact that she was either a principal in the first or second degree. or an accessory before the fact. I do not think the evil dence tended to strongly show that she was an accessory after the fact. or rath- CT, that she knew of the fact of the kill ing after it was done and concealed it.
 ',Under the law of this State an access sory after the fact is punished by fine of not more than 5000 and may also be imprisoned in the county jail or ser- fenced to hard labor for the county for not more than six months.
 ''I think all of the evidence against the defendant, except that of Emeline Groom, can be reconciled upon the theory that she was only an accessory after the fact.
 Feeling as I do. I am constrained to recommend that Fannie Bryant be paroled or pardoned.
 By way of explanation. will state that while Fannie Bryant was tried for the murder of Mrs. Emma Hawes. little Irene Hawes' body was also found in the same lake"
 EmiIine croom's Testimony.
 Referring to the testimony of the wo- man, Emiline Groom, Judge Greene says that she was old and decrepit, having to be brought to the court in a carriage and that he had reason to doubt her state- ments, believing that she was weak minded. .
 The pardon of Fannie Bryant was rec- commended in petition signed by the fol- lowing citizens of Montgomery; W. H. Thomas. Associate Judge of the city Court; Edward A. Graham, Robert E. Steiner. seiig Gassenheimer. Hobbie and Teague. c. A etern, end Company. R, M.
