Marks too Kramer to his home on Nor

to Mrs. Marks, who did not seem pleased
to see either one of them, as they We're

the Rhine wine took a reverse action
on him, and Marks tried to assist him

was patched up in court and the couple
discharged. They may meet again in

RAN HIM DOWN
Patrolman Wohlleben
Chases a Thief and
Captures Him.
WAS WORKING ON TUERs AVE.
Had Entered Mrs. Dsnarest's.
Where He Secured
Much Booty.

Sneak thieves who come to Jersey City
TO ply their trade will find that they have
struck the wrong city to work in. They
viii also find that although they may
get into the city, before they get out
again they viii spend vacation under
the care of the police. This is an as
sured fact, for very few of them have
ever escaped when they turned trick"
here.
Yesterday afternoon one of these gem
tIemen paid visit to the Bergen sec
tion, and, although he was successful in
making good haul he was not so sue
cessful in escaping the watchful eye of
the law, and at the present time he is
passing his time seated on board bench
and peering out through good, strong
iron bars.
At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, while
PatrAman Charles wohlleben, of the
Seventh Precinct, was patrolling his post
along Tuers avenue he noticed a stranger
emerge from the front stoop Of No. 132
Tuers avenue the home of Mrs. Annie
Demarest. He approached the stranger,
who, when he saw the officer coming in
his direction, quickened his. pace, as did
also Wohlleben. The thief then started
to run, and so did the officer, and for
time-it looked as if the crook would get
away, as he seemed to be the feeter of
foet Again, however, the police were
victorious, for, although the chances of
capture at first seemed slim, Wohlleben
happened to have more wind and after
q run of several blocks the thief was
oyerhauled and taken to the Seventh
Precinct.
He made no resistance, it is said, and
this alone proves that he is an old timer
at the business and is ready to take
his medicine" as they put it in their
profession. At the station it was shown,
apon being searched, that he had secured
q large number of articles I'M the Dem
arrest home, and that he had confined
his stealing to articles that. would not be
noticeable when concealed upon his per-
BON, such as would not excite suspicion
from pedestrians. There were over $50
worth in small articles of silverware,
gold watch and other tlinkets.
He described himself as John Gala
han. of Paterson, but the police are of
the opinion that this name is an alias.
There was also red leather card case
found upon the prisoneI which was one
Of the kind recently distributed by the
Hudson County National Bank of this
rity It contained Pennsylvania Rail
road timetable and a beck containing ad-
dresses of people residing on Sip, Bent
ley and Bergen avenues, and also Enos
place and Erie street.
Chief Murphy said this morning that
evidently the man had secured these adj
dresses for the purpose Of robbing the
houses. This thief, hewever, will not
be arouad this os.y for some years to
come. for whsn she police get through
with him he wiz more Shan likely rusti-
