BURGLAR FOND OF FLOWERS
The Luxurious Taste of a House. breaker Betrays Him to
 the Police.

A recent English robbery case, which reads almost like one of the Sherlock Holmes stories, related to the detec- tion of thief through his fondness for flowers
 The only clew left by the robber of house near Northampton was a fragment of a flower, whose petals were scattered over the floor. No flowers of the same sort were grown in the garden of the house robbed or by the neighbors, but an investigation of the florist shops in the nearby town showed that a flower of that sort had been purchased the evening be- fore by man who was recognized from the description given to be a well-known burglar.
 At the trial 1t was shown that. al. though the night had been warm, the thief, who was of delicate health, had worn a light overcoat, which crushed the petals of the flower beneath. and these had fallen to the carpet when he had opened his coat to stow away the jewels. which constituted the greater part of the spells.
 Although the clew vas slight one. 1t was correct, and the luxury loving crook will have no need of flowers to decorate his broad arrow suit for some time to come.
