AN ovERCoAT THIEF.
William Kenney Deprives an En-
sineer of His Garment on a Cold
Might

2lneer Oh MS uarmeut oh Soiu
Night.
4 man of many names and with
desire for pillow was IN the tolls OF
the law long enough yesterday to be
tried, held and taken to Scranton. 1t
was al. about an overcoat, which seems
TO be the proper thing to steal these
days. These necessary garments nave
contributed to the maintenance of con-
sta ables and aldermen considerably of
late.
On Wednesday night William Main
.waring. night engineer in the Delaa-
ware and Hudson boiler house. in the
railroad yard. went to work with his
warm overcoat securely buttoned about
his chin and thought of the comfort 1t
would be when he wended his way
home again in the early morning. He
tenderly, almost reverently, hung II w
on a peg in the boiler house and went
to work. About 12.45 in the morning
he went outside to see If the steam
was heating the cars all right. AS he
passed by his coat he stroked IL careSs-
ingly Five minutes later he returned.
pausing to contemplate the object of
his pride he was horror struck To see
that 1t had vanished.
He hurriedly notified Night Watch
man Wills. who is n special officer, and
they, with officer Garden, discovered
footprints in the snow, which led to Il
shanty above the Coalbrook culm
dump. on approaching the shed they
heard a noise within as Of coal sliding
down an iron chute, with>a spasmodic
gurgle at intervals. Mystified, but un-
daunted. the three fastened in. and be-
held a man placidy sleeping, while a
snore sounding like a steam shovel
Jared the snow from the roof. The
cherished overcoat was rolled up in a
wad and decorated the under side of
frowsy head.
After an energetic struggle theweary
one was aroused He was rudely
brought from the land of dreams by
the owner of the overcoat snatching 1,
from under him at last. A search OF
his clothes disclosed the presence OF
pocketbook which Mr.. Mainwarins
claimed. The erstwhile sleeper was
hustled to the city tombs. Yesterday
morning he was brought before Alder
man Delevan. where it was seen tina,
If he was short Of overcoats he was
long on names, as he answered to the
ley, William Kenney, and various othe:
BILLS" Mr. Lawler. etc, protested hi:
adherence of such a deed as ne was
charged with and affirmed his sincere
belief that some one must have put tho
coat under his head while he was los
in slumber and kindly transferred t
his own coat the pockotbook. Some
how his story didn't make much of al
impression on the alderman, who com
mitted him to the county Jail in lie,
of an absence of $500 bail bonds.
The prisoner claimed he was from
Shamokin, said he was twenty-five
years of age, and was a tramp, but
Is suspected that he Is from this vicin
ity and wished to hide his identity. II
