a thorough search for the hat was
made. 1t was finally found, tucked
snugly away under the waistcoat of

to batter down the door of a lodging

ing arrested for vagrancy He told
Judge Mogan yesterday that he was

William Conley and Edward Terry
went out for a ride in the Ashbury
Park district the other day. They had
an empty delivery wagon and appar-
emily had no definite idea of what they
were going to fill it with. A policeman
watched them long and earnestly, but
they saw him first and drove along
without attempting to secure a cargo.
Finally the policeman placed them un-
der arrest. Their record was looked
into and it was discovered that Con-
ley had served long term at San
quentin fOr burglary. Both men had
been convicted several times of mis-
demeanors and served terms in the
County Jail. Judge Mogan told them
plainly yesterday that he was satisfied
they were thieves and that they took
the wagon out to Ashbury Park for the
purpose of carrying away any plunder
they might secure. He instructed the
police to ascertain if any depredations
had been committed in that section of
the city and if there have been any
he will give the two prisoners the limit
in the County Jail.
