Raffles, in fiction, robs in evening
clothes. John Mulcaire, Frederick Mar
tin and Stephen Haven, in real life, have
been riding in cab to do their THEW
ing, the police say. It's very gentle
manly plan; besides, cab is used to
carry off heavy pieces of silverware.
The detectives say Mulcaire, alias Will
liam Hall, alias William Call, has con-
fessed to committing 400 burglaries,
most of them in Harlem, in the past
two years. Benjamin Berkman and
Simon D. Levy, jewelers., are also under
arrest as alleged fences" The five were
caught neatly after the robbery of Hor-
ace Hoods apartments, at 1913 Lenox

A large touring automobile, with one
| of the rear wheels out of commission,
| the front axle bent and the lamps
smashed, was found by Patrolman Yer
tifeuille, of the Leonard Street Station,
stranded on pile of old iron in front
of 424 Canal street. The only clues to
ownership discovered by the police were
two side combs and small collection of
hairpins. T. c. Reid, of $50 West End
avenue, came to the station-house later
in the day to claim the machine. He
said that he purchased it on Thursday,
and spent Saturday trying it out with
demonstrator from the company, who
has disappeared.
Miss Jennie Corwin, OF 463 State
street, Brooklyn, has received through
the mails a necklace of valuable pearls
that she either lost at wedding or
which was stolen from her 80 years
ago. Miss Corwin is greatly mystihed
at the return of the jewels, and there
seems to be absolutely no clue to the
identity of the person who sent them
back. The only explanation seems to be
that the person who had the necklace
became conscious-stricken.
