CONFIDENT THEY
HAVE A BURGLAR
POLICE CAPTURE MAN WITH A
SUPPLY OF CLOTHES
He Claims That They Are His Own,
but Another Story Is Told by
Rifled Tailor
Shop

A large bundle of clothes in the
shape of a man wearing two pairs of
trousers, two vests and one coat and
carrying two more coats and another
pair of trousers in his hand, accom-
panied by officer Bob" Henderson,
was taken into the police station early
this morning and put away for the
night The man, who gave his name
as James Murphy, was locked up
pending charge of burglary, and the
clothes were stored away to be used
as evidence and then returned to their
owners.
The clothes were taken from the shop
of the United States Tailoring COM
pany, at 211 West Fifth street, the
door of which was forced open. Officer
Henderson saw Murphy walking along
Broadway with the clothes under his
arm and questioned him concerning
their ownership. Murphy asserted
that he had just been to a pawnshop
and redeemed the things, which were
his own, but Henderson took him in
tow and escorted him to headquarters.
There Murphy was asked to try on
the various suits he had taken, and
as none of them was a perfect fit the
officers decided to hold him, even
though the burglary at the tailoring
establishment had not yet been re
ported
On the trousers which Murphy was
wearing over his own well-worn pair
was a tag which directed the officers
to the United States Tailors shop, and
as the place was found rifed Murphy
was slowed in the tanks and will be
arraigned in the police court today.
The evidence against him is conclusive
and the officers think they will have
an easy time convicting him of bur-
glary in the first degree.
