ARRESTED FOR SHOOTING CAME
Man Caught Cunning in Riverside
 Cemetery To-day.

f
 Arrested for shooting squirrels in a cemetery, or rather for violating city ordinance prohibiting the use of fire arms within the city limits. That is why Charles De Napolis, who lives in the Brooklyn district, is occupying a cell in the city lookup. For some time past several persons have been en- gagged in the practice of shooting squir- rels in Riverside cemetery. They would stand outside the cemetery and fire at the squirrels among the trees. Henry M. Begnal, sexton of the cemetery, has tried every means to detect the guilty parties. but they always escaped until this morn ing. This morning about 9 o'clock one or MT Begnaps help heard the dis
 large of a gun. He knew what was
 matter at once and determined to
 some one; and he did. He saw Ds Napolis, and De Napolis saw him, and at once a chase began. Up be- hind the Barnard school and onto Pop-I lar avenue De Napolis flew, with hiy< pursuer close behind. De Napolis's gun was becoming an impeachment to his light and he threw it away. Down Poplar avenue, across country to Bank street the men ran at full speed The pace was beginning to tell, but neither man seemed to gain much advantage. Up Bank street and onto Washington avenue the race continued Here Jan- itor Tiernan of the Bank street school joined ill the chase. He heard some body shout that De Napolis had a gun and he was after him in minute and captured him on Washington avenue 2 little above. the school grounds. Just neforc he was captured De Napolis threw m ugly looking daggcr into a yard on Washington avenue. Jsnitor Tiernan, who is q special constable, brought his man to Riverside cemetery, where he placed him in charge of Sex ton Begnal. Officer Brearton was summoned and ho took De Napolis and the gun. which had been found at the foot of an embanlmcnt on Poplar ave nue, to the police station.

Lynch tes- tlned that himself and Atwood entered into 2 conspiracy by which Partree was to be frozen out'' and Lynch was to have foreclosure proceedings taken against him and judgment giy- ell. Atwood was then to return him ms financial share of the scheme and he should remain undisturbed in nos session of the property. Atwood did not stand by his agreement and Lynch was busted. Then Lynch got angry. let the cat out of the bag. told ATrs Partree and the recent case against Atwood was the result. During that nearing counsel for defendant sprung surprise one morning, thinking if would turn out sensation. They stated that the actual plaintiff was Attorney O'Neill. Colonel Rurpee counsel for Mir O'Neill, turned the p ta, pies by affirming the statement and explaining the whole situation. if seemed Mrs Partree did not have tba means to proceed with the case. where. upon she sold her claim for oood round sum to MT O'NeilI; he took : chance, whereas Mrs Partree was al. ready benefited.
