SUSPECT IS ARRESTED
Gives Name Of Henry RObar Of Burling-
ton Thief Was Scared Away
Before Completing Job.

Another successful hoase breaking az
tempt was made last night. and it bears
al the marks Of having been done
BIZ the same party that brok : into Dr.
Goodrichs and Charles Marr's houses ID
this city two weeks ago, and the house Of
c. Il. Bugbee in Montpelier. The house
entered was that Of William spear on
Church street, and the burglar secured s4s
in money. At an early hour this morning
the police arrested suspect who gave the
name Of Henry Robar of Battery street
Burlington, and are holding him for fur-
ther examination
The robbery was committed at 3 o'clock
this morning and the appearances Indi-
cate that the burglar was frightened away
before he had time to complete bis work.
At about that hour Mrs. Spear got up. As
she did SO she heard a scrambling In an-
other room, and at once notified Mr.
Spear. The latter investigated and found
the back door open. Going into the dining
room he found that writing desk had
been robbed Of Si8 ia money and the pa
papers strewn about Going into the kit
chen Mr.. Spear found hts trousers on the
si00r where they had apparently been
dropped by the burglar when he was
scared away by Mrs spear. To thetrons
ers was S2S, which bad been overlooked
IN the burglars hurry to get ont.
The police station was called UP at 4
O'Clock, and the officers started out with
out clue except the one secured by 0fh-
Ger Hamel before he knew anything about
the robbery, and which may prove to be
one OF the links IN eonvleting the perpe-
traitor Some time after three O'Clock
while the ofheer was walking ON Main
street, Id The neighboFhood Of Pearl, he
saw a suspicious looking man come from
the latter street and 90 down Main street
The officer took particular notice Of the
man because be had sneakers on his
feet and also on account Of bis suspicious
actions.
When Officer HameI heard OF the break
he Immediately connected II with the man
he had seen He told Chief Brown Of the
occurrence and the two Immediately
started out to look him up. An hour later
0fieer Hamel arrested the suspect il tbs
north part Of the city and took him to the
station, where thorough search Of his
person revealed bat ten cents ia money
Notwithstanding this, Chief Brown felt
that he was the man wanted and detained
him After giving hts name and address,
the prisoner replied 10 question That be
knew Chief Russell Of the Darlington po-
| lice force.
Chief Brown at once teleph0ned Chief
RUSSELL receiving word that person by
the name Of Henry Robar had served sen.
tences In the state prison and the house ef
correction. This strengthened Chief
Browns belief that he had the right man
Robar told the police that bic was living at
Mrs. Kane on Brook street, and the
| latter found that he was telling the truth
They searched his room but failed to ind
anything Of an discriminating nature. RO-
bar had boarded at William AicCuen's on
the same street.
Mr.. Spear does not know how the bur-
| glar got into his house. The back door
which was found open this morning, was
locked last night and the key was left on
the inside Of the door The burglar may
have turned the key in the lock By the use
Of pinchers. There seems to be no other
way by which he could have entered.
