BURGLARS IN KNEE PANTS
Two Bays Arrested With Their
 Booty in Bak.

New York, Aug 5.-Two boys in knickerbockers attempted yesterday to loot house .n West 84th street. They forced an entrance with all the care and skill of experienced burglars, but were caught as they emerged through the front door carrying bag in which were jewelry, cigars, cam era films, memorandum books and thimbles. In the loot was valuable pearl necklace.
 The entire lot is valued at $1,O0O. The boys are both from good families. Their parents were thunderstruck when summoned to the police station and told of their exploits. One was 12 years of age: the other IA. Neither would say much about their exploit, but they took no pains to show they were proud of 1t.
 A passerby who was made suspi- cious by the actions of the two boys was instrumental in their capture. He called three policemen, who on inves- tigation found that the boys had prled open trap door on the roof and bro ken through a heavy wire screen be- meath by dropping on it stone weigh ing 30 pounds. With rope ladder they then descended and carefully rNn- sacked the house, whose owner was absent in the country.
 Two detectives who had been posted at the front door captured the youth ful burglars when they sallled out with armloads of spells.

STATE POLICE ACTIVE.
Arrested Han on Suspicion for the
 Southbury Assault.

A young man who gave his name as George o. Stewart and his age 24. is held at the police station on suspicion that he was the assailant of Beda An dersOn, who was criminally assaulted at Southbury Tuesday, July 25. He was arrested in Manchester by the state police a few days ago and was brought to Waterbury today by Sher- if Wheeler of Southbury and Detec- tive Donnelly of New Haven, who was put on the case by States Attorney Williams.

 The Anderson girl, who is quite pret- ty, says her age Is about 20. She was born in Sweden. She was confronted by Stewart to-day and would not say he was not her assailant. She was re- leased from the hospital today and taken to the police station, where she was shown Stewart While in the hos pital man supposed to be the party wanted was taken there, but she said he was not the one.

 Detective Foss saw the thieves half a block down Union street and was first to fire after his command to halt had been ignored. Then Lieutenant Larkin began to shoot and Officers O'Hara and Sullivan joined in the run ming fusillade, but the robbers hurried away on foot. The only effect of Lar kin's fire was shot which lodged in his own wrist Followed by several hundred persons who had been attract ed by the shooting, the thieves ran un- til they reached convenient spot where they jumped into a buggy and escaped.
 Cohen and his wife, who were sit ting in front of their shop were hit by stray bullets.

YOUNG GIRL FOUND DYING
 ON POLICEnAN'S STEPS.
Inhabitants of North Bergen Stirred Up Over the Affair-A Search is Now Being Made for Two Young Men Who We're Seen With the Girl Last Evening The Girl Died Before Doctor Arrived

New York, Aug 5.-Lorette A. Phif- fer, a girl of 20, was found alone and dying early to-day on the front steps of the residence of the late Chief of Police Sullivan, at North Bergen, N. J.
 The police are searching for two men who, pretending to be policemen, took the girl away from a young man who was her escort last night, and who are believed to have treated her brutally. The young man said that while returning from a picnic at Little Coney Island, a New Jersey resort, he was stopped by two pretended police men, who demanded S5 from him and who on finding that he did not have that amount sent him away to get it, keeping the girl as hostage and prom ising to release her when the money had been paid.
 The men disappeared with the girl before he returned. Later she was found unconscious at the Sullivan home, only a short distance away.
 Mrs Sullivan took the girl in, but she died before doctors aid could be secured. The physician said that heart failure caused death. The girls father from New York identified the body.

THE KELLY GANG
Raided Stores. Smashed Windows and Broke
 the Law.

New York, Aug 5-The notorious Paul Kelly gang, to which much law lessness and crime have been at tributed, began temporary reign of terror ill the lower east side to-day by Il raid and window smashing on stores within half block of police head quarters in Mulberry street and ended by beating man so badly that he may not recover. With plate glass windows crashing first on one side and then on the other in the vicinity of Houston street and the Bowery, fifty angry policemen tried in vain to catch the elusive Kelleyites. A coffee house was next raided, the gangs oEly ob- ject being to smash up the dishes, which was done after the walters had been thrown into the street. The po- lice were hot on the trail of the toughs by this time and were just in time to rescue Christo Colojanes, a Greek. after his face had been lacerated and two ribs broken. The gang was rob ping him of pennies and nickels. Only one member of the party was arrested.

NEW TRIAL ORDERED
In the Marion Gould Divorce Case
 of Tbis City.

Hartford, Aug 5.-The supreme court to-day in decision found an error and ordered a new trial in the action of Marion D. Gould of this city in her di- vorce action against her husband, Roy &. Gould, an epileptic. The case came upon all appeal from Judge Thayer's dismissal of the case. Mrs Gould was married in 1899 and in her, suit she al-. leges that her husband concealed from her the fact that he was subject to fits. She claimed a decision on the ground of fraudulent contract.
 A law was enacted in 1895 prohibit ing the interInarriage of epileptics and feeble minded persons. The opinion in the case was written by Justice Baldwin and the entire court con- cured in it and at the same time Judge Hammersley wrote parallel opinion ferent way than did Justice Baldwin. Judge Hammersley in his opinion says the law is uncertain in it's mean ing in certain places. In view of this the court holds that marriage under the conditions given is valid and it is possible to prove state of facts that would warrant a divorce for fraudu- lent contract. The parties may be pun ished for violation of the law in mar rying, but the marriage is valid and the mutual relations of husband and wife are legal. To fully sustain the decision it is necessary to determine the measure of fraudulent contract, a question which has never been decided by this court

THE MILLER CASE.
Young Man Who Suddenly Attained
 Much Notoriety.

The arrest of Claude Miller on charge of being implicated in the firs- ing of a barn in the west end while he was buslly engaged in extinguish- Ing the flames was an unfortunate occurrence, yet it was one of those things that happens from time to time and for which nobody can be blamed. It Will not injure the young man in any way. On the contrary 1t may prove benefit to him later on, forcs the average citizen is quick to take in the situation in case of that kind. and if the opportunity ever presents itself the public will show that instead Of losing prestige by the incident he made friends in quarters. Talking about the matter to-day very prom inent citizen said he had a similar ex- perience when he was boy. A lady who lived in the same house where he was employed lost a gold necklace. and he being the only stranger about the place he was charged with the theft and was detained in room in the building while the matter was being looked up. After an hour or so it turned out that the woman's sister. was cutting a dash at ball with tho necklace. When this became known the lady tainted and when she recov- cred she fell on her knees and begged me to forgive her. Of course Miller,s case was worse because 1t was made public. It was trying ordeal for the young man and his friends, but 1t was of short duration and 1t is safe to state that the boy has more friends now than ever before. It was case where every body meant well. and no- body more so that Miller Mistakes of that kind are not so rare as some think, but as rule the oversight is detected before 1t reaches the public, and few know anything about the $ blunder. &k

nUNsoN JAILED
And His Partner in Guilt Fined Seven Dollars
 and Costs.

Naugatuck, Conn.,, Aug. 5.-Dr Vir- gil H. Munson, a dentist of New Ha- ven, and Miss Anna Thorndike, aged 19. also of that city, were arrested here last evening on complaint of relatives of the young woman, and af- ter a hearing in the police court to- day were found guilty of the charge alleged. Dr MunsOn was sentenced to thirty days imprisonment in the county jail at New Haven, and a fine Of $1 and costs was imposed on Miss Thorndike, and she was put in the care of the probation officer for thirty days. MT Sawyer of New Haven who appeared as friend of Miss Thorn dike's family, made arrangements to take her to her home subject to the probation officers approval. At first, however, the young woman demurred to going home except on condition that money should be provided to en- able Dr Munson to secure a divorce from his wife who is said to live in Meriden.
 From the evidence of restaurant keeper and others it appeared that the couple registered at the restaur- ant as Mir and Mrs Tucker, Boston, and for about week occupied the same room at night, Dr Munson going away every morning and returning in the evening. Dr Munson, who is said to have studied law for several years, conducted his own defense, both at first pleading not guilty. After the prosecuting attorney, however, had asked permission to amend the com plaint against Dr Munson and make it more serious one, he believed It could be shown that the doctor has a wife, Dr Munson agreed to plead guilty to the first charge as a com promise. The woman showed much hesitation when asked if she wished to change her plea, and the court at length said that 1t was not necessary as he would find them both guilty. Dr Munson is apparently about 40 years of age.

ROBBERY
 AND ARSON
Burglar Surprised
 at His Work.
Checked Woman and Then Set Fire to Home-Crasp. ing for Jewel Tore the W0man's Ear.

New York, Aug 5-Within two blocks of the house in which, two weeks ago, Mrs Bertha Cohen was chlOrofOrmed, tied to her bed, robbed of her jewelry and her house set on fire by burglars, similar robbery oc- cured yesterday at No 1854 Fifth ave- nue. The victim was Mrs Israel Cohen, wife of real estate broker. A Yesterdays burglary has removed every doubt in the minds of the police as to the genuineness of the first rob- bery, and Captain Brennan of the East 1O4th street station Is exerting every effort to run down the robber.
 He found Mrs Cohen in state ot nervous collapse, she having just come out of fainting spell and was too weak to give all of the details of the robbery.
 Mrs Cohen said that after her hus- band went to his office she locked her dining room door and went to the bakery. She returned in fifteen min utes-about 10 o'clock-but could not unlock the door. She was about to draw out the key when the door was opened suddenly and man grabbed her by the throat. She struggled and shouted for help, and finally ran down stairs to the street.
 Mrs Louisa Meyers, janitress of the house, heard Mrs Cohen's screams, as did Abraham Cohen, 16 years old, who works in the delicatessen store on the ground floor of the house. Richard Taylor, who is employed in the bakery next door, also ran into the hallway to assist Mrs Conan.
 The boys went into the yard and climbed up the fire escape, but the burglar was nowhere to be found. Mrs Cohen and the neighbors then entered the fiat. In the dining room they found the plunder that the burglar had intended to carry away. On sofa was large bundle of clothing tied in 2 sheet, and the contents of the side board drawers were scattered on the floor.
 While the tenants were examining the dining room, smoke began to pour through the bedrooms. Women put out the fire before the engines came. Two pieces of furniture were burned. During the excitement Mrs Cohen tainted and was carried next door, where she revived.
 "I will give $500" said Mir Cohen last night, flor the arrest of the thief, and will spare no expense to help find him.
 "My wife says the man was about six feet tall, and that he had big big hands. She thinks he is of light complexion. He had no mustache and wore soft hat Evidently he started the fire to get away with the clothing in the excitement My wife had all her jewelry in her pocket except the earrings she wore, which the thief snatched at. He tore her left ear in trying to get the earring.'
 Robberies have been numerous in the neigtborhOOd of Fifth avenue and 18th street in the past two months.
 John Mccarthy, real estate ap. praiser, at No 2h West 18th street, was robbed twice in the last two months. and two apartments in the corner house, No 2, were also robbed.

WITH KISSES GAVE FREEDOM.
Embracing Lover in Jail Woman Slip
 ped Him Liberty Giving Saw.


 Sioux City, Ia., Aug. D. While locked in the embrace of her prison lover, George Elmer Custer, Mrs Grace Butts. serving a sentence for shooting her rival, two days ago pass ed to him the saw that enabled him and seven other dangerous criminals to escape last night from the county Jail
 This is the explanation generally accepted of the jail break which was accomplished by ripping or the sheet Iron ceiling of Custers' cell and saw ing a hole through the floor of the County Auditors office above.
 Mrs Butts and Custer. who was in prison for highway robbery, called sweet nothings across the jail corridor for months They pleaded for one minute in which to bind their be- trothal with a kiss. Jailer McDougal finally consented and Custer was al- lowed to go to the woman's cell.
 Closely did the woman clasp her lover as she planted kiss after kiss upon his lips. Then. 1t is believed. she gave him the tool that meant free dom. She would have had a much better opportunity to secure the saw than he, as her model conduct gave her many privileges he did not enjoy.
