With the arrest of Michael Duffy, formerly a
member of the Salvage Corps No. 1. on a charge
of grand larceny, the detectives believe tnat tiey
are on the trail OF the persons responsible for sew
oral robberies In Brooklyn buildings that have been
damaged by fire. A series of such rooberles hao
taken place when the Arlington apartment houSe'
at No 81 Montague street. was partly burned ABOUT
three months ago. After that fire more than sloVc'
worth of property belonging to the tenants was
hstoIen according to the story told by the ponce.
About 1900 worth of this property mas alred1y
been found in pawnshops-
Two companies of the salvage corps were on hand
IN Iook after the property OF the tenants. ana
among the members was Duffy, who with two
others was detailed to guard the fourth noor- Inc

men had been removed from the corps some -ni9
ago. Mr.. Thorn said that on the night OF the nfe
at the Arlington the work OF the ponce was SO
inefficient that outsiders got Wl'nln the hre
lines and entered the building.
Captain Kurne of the Police Department., said
that this charge absurd He said that nine
out of ten Of the robberes that had occurred at
fires had taken place after the police and the fire
men had left and the salvage corps had taken
charge Duffy he said, had been in charge Of the
corps at many places where valuables had been
stolen.
Lieutenant McNulty, who was in charge of the
police at the Arlington fire. said that the lines were
formed almost as the fremen had reached
the place, and that every entrance to the building
was guarded. When the police left the salvage
corps was in charge. according TO the lieutenant.
Fire Chief Lally expressed the fullest confidence
in the fremen under him. He corroborated the
story that the lieutenant had told about the Arlins-
ton fire. The honesty of the firemen. he said. was
attested by the fact that two of his men had
come to him after the Arlington fire and had given
him s. 500 worth OF Jewelry that they had saved
