Here's your shoes. You can have
them now. Don't beef so hard about il.
III iix it all right with you. Give me
chance and I'll square it with you."'
That Is what Tommy Hogan. the bur
elar, said to John Winston, the miner.
whose room he burglarzed at o'clock
yesterday morning, at the county Jail
today, while Winston stood outside the
jail cage and roasted" him for the bur
glary.
Then Hogan took Wnston's shoes OF
his feet and passed them to the latter
through the wicket in the barred door.
winston took them with very poor grace.

that II he had had Hogan outside where
he could have laid hands on him he would
have given him the beating OF his life
Hogan and James X. Sullivan were ar
rested Monday night by the police Oh
charge OF burglarizlng the room occu-
pied by Winston and Winston's partner
Edward Mahan, at 500 East Park street.
They were captured at John Hawkes. liv-

A man had been seen coming out Of
the burglarizcd room, and Hogan an
swered the description given OF him. Sui
livan had been seen in association with
Hogan. who has been twice in state
prison, and was arrested as al accom-

room carried a bundle, presumably Of
loot.

Hogan went into his cell and brought
out the gold cuff buttons, which belonged
to Mahan, and turned them over to Win
ston also. lie then said he would tell
Winston where to find the razors and
coat and vest, and he gave the latter
the necessary directions
1t would seem that after this confes-
sion on Hogans part there should be no
difficulty in convicting him OF the burglary,
and in all probability he will be sent to
Deer Lodge, where he has already been
twice. Sulivan's part in the burglary
is not so plain, although proof that he
was an abcttor may yet be adduccd. 81
