REAL 'RAFFLES' IN
A NEW YORK TOWN
Traction superintendent by Day,
Society Man in Evening,
Burglar at Night.
Journal Special Service.

Middletown, N. Y, Oct. 24.-By the
confession of Charles Boos, until few
days ago superintendent of the Waikiki
Transit company's lines in Orange coun-
ty, a spectacular police mystery has been
solved. He admitted to the police today
that it is he who has robbed one Of the
largest department stores in the city,
besides several residences in the last
few months.
Boos iestingly reminded the police
that he himself had raised the hue and
cry one night a few weeks ago when a
burglar was chased out Of the residence
Of F. P. S. Crane, a wealthy man. He
said the police were close on him be-
fore he got out of the house and that
he adopted this ruse to make escape
more easy. He ran ahead of two pc
icemen. shouting at the top of his
voice:
"Stop thief, catch that man.
The ruse worked 50 well that Boos
resorted to it again few nights later
when he had forced his way into the
home Of J. L. Pendleton, which is only
short distance from that of Mr.. Crane
Boos is regarded as a modern. socia
highwayman. He drew a large salary
as superintendent of the big transit cor
poration and lived in good style on ONT
Of the best streets in the city. He wa
popular in society and some of the de
signing mothers looked upon the joll,
bachelor with a large income as one O
the catches" ~.,..,
