Three Lackawanna special officers
yesterday afternoon arrested two men
near Nay Aug who are believed to be
professional burglars. They were COM
mitted to the county Jail by Magis-
trate Millar as suspicious persons.
and an effort will be made to see IL
they are wanted In any other city.
Special Officers Michael Spellman,
John Pel and j. NJ. Casey were near
Nay Aug on the lookout for tramps
on some of the passing freight trains.
They saw these two men jump on II
train which was running slowly and
started after them.
The two men saw them and made
for the woods nearby. but were fol-
lowed by the officers and placed un-.
der arrest. They were searched, and
in the pocket OF the older of the men.
who afterwards gave his name as Will
liam Kelly, was found a loaded revo-
Yer. A chisel and a burglars file was
found OH the younger man, who gave
his name as Thomas Cunningham,
Both were taken OH the next train
to this city and were brought to Mag
istratc Millars office. On the way
through Centre street Cunningham

ing and passed it over to Kelly. The
latter gave Il quick jerk and thew it
into a rubbish barrel. Officer Spell
man saw the move, and hearing the
clashing Of metal went back and
searched the barrel. He found bunch
of skeleton keys containing over a
dozen keys, such as are used by cracks
men.
When arraigned before Magistrate
Millar the older man gave his name
as William Kelly and said he had been
living with an uncle, John Kelly, OH
Jackson street. He said he was a
boilermaker by trade. There is no John
Kelly residing on Jackson street, and
though the prisoner has been seen
around the streets on different Occa-
sions for several years. His name is
not believed to be Kelly. He has every
appearance of being at least a profess
sional tramp if nothing worse.
The other fellow gave his name as
Thomas Cunningham, and his home as
Picton. Ontario. Canada. He said he
was - years old and that he was a
sailor by occupation. Both admitted
that they were starting on a tramp.
Magistrate Milar committed them
to the county Jail for six months as
suspicious characters, and in the mean
time the police will endeavor to dis
cover their real identity.
