CLEVER Work
Detectives Chase aud Raleigh Run
Down a Seif'C0niessei Burglar.

Detectives Chase and Raleigh have
just completed good piece Of detec-
tive work, and Capt Burbdge is high
ly elated over 1t and declares that the
officers are entitled to a great deal OF
credit for their tact and energy.
1t is well known fact that during
the last few days numerous cases Of
petit larceny and two or three cases OF
burglary have been reported, and the
officers seemed unable TO get even he
slightest clue.
A few days ago, Dick Dreyfus, who
rooms at the Independence house on
Third south, lost q new suit Of clothes
for which he had just paid $50. A day
or two before the American rooming-
house on Commercial street lost about
so pairs OF new blankets and several
comforts The matter was at once re-
ported to the police and Detective
Chase and Releigh went TO work on
the case, They learned that a negro
named George Goodwin had been work.
ing at the American house. and they
suspected him Of both burglares. They
followed the fellow around for couple
Of days, and made careful inquiry
about him, They learned that he had
stolen the articles from the American
house, and also the suit Of clothes, The
latter he sold TO young man who
works at GreeneWald's cigar store for
the small sum Of 50. The quilts he sold
TO State street second hand man for
about one-tenth what they were worth.
He was arrested on Tuesday afternoon
and lodged IN jail on two charges OF
burglary This mornlne he told the
officers that he was willing to enter a
plea Of guilty both in Judge Dlehrs
court and the district court and was
anxious 10 start on his sentence at
once, Capt. Burbldge says that, in ad-
dition TO the two burglary cases. they
could file at least IS charges Of petit
larceny against him.
