When "OId Hutch" Lost.

fiSlil ~ NllAIdbO SSOid-IlC dlu
"B. p. Hutchinson used to say no
burglar ever could get into his house
without waking him." said a Central
station detective the other day; but
it remained for Chief Simon O'Donnell
to put one over on the famous trader.
You know, Mr.. Hutchinson was IA
nous in Chicago'S commercial life years
ago and was known popularity as old
Hutch He prided himself on the fact
that burglars had never gotten into
his house, and often boosted of the
fact to his intimates. One day. while
he was at lunch with Chief O'Donnell
and a number OF other friends. the
company fell to discussing a crime that
had been committed the night before.
I'D like to see anybody get into my
house. Mr.. Hutchinson said. Why, /
hear every tick of the clock all night
"Tll bet you dinner for this crowd
said the chief, that / can produce a
man who will enter your house and
you will not know Of his visit till
morning.
Mr.. Hutchinson accepted the wager,
and it was agreed that he was to let
the chief have a latch key so that the
burglar could get in without being dis.
turbed by some patro,man. Mr.. Hutch
inson also agreed to leave some article
OF value in the parlor where it could
be found readily. The chief said the
robbery would be committed within the
following week.
Three days later Mr.. Hutchinson
awoke in the morning and discovered
that both sheets of his bed, which had
been in place when he retired. were
gone. So was the antique gold clock
he had left on a mantel. He hurriedly
dressed and fastened after breakfast
to the chiefs office. O'Donnell saw him
coming, and, as he entered the office
greeted him with:
Mr.. Hutchinson / have two sheets
and a dock that belong to you. We
will have the dinner today
The burglary was lone by a former
criminal who at the time had reformed
and was in a respectable line of bust,
ness. He did the job at the request OF
the chief. How did he get the Under
sheet? He rolled Mr.. Hutchinson over,
rolled the sheet after him and Their
rolled him back"

circumstances which indicated he had
been the victim of foul play. Not he
slightest trace Of him could be found
and the authorities abandoned the
search.
But the deserted wife, who at first
vas firmly of the opinion that the
missing man had been killed, finally
became convinced that he was a villain
and had voluntarily deserted her. h

for him which after several months OF
persistent effort resulted in his capture
in the Twin Cities. Knowing he was
q bookbinder by trade she wrote per-
sonal letters, with a description of her
supposed husband, to all the bookbind-
cries in all the leading cities Of the
United States, and through this means
he was coated.
1t was not long after she commenced
her search before she became aware
that Lyons was alive and well, and hat
she was NJ wife at all, as Lyons had
n or TWO other wives living from
whom he had never been legally sep
arated. After his arrest Lyons pleaded
guilty TO bigamy.
