Beneath the bed he lay, in trance-like pose. a hatchet by his side. An amusing feature of the affaly was that as officer. Roberts peered under the couch of rest, the sound of snor- unfairly loud, rose simultaneously with his action, from the recumbent.
 sam was requested to arise and walk, but there was no break in the Intensi- ty Of the roaring, no variation of the pose. The officers grew impatient at the continuance of the farce and t is reared that Sam was. perhaps. rudeIy touched by the toe of their boots. FL nally he was dragged from his posi- ton and made to understand that there must be a cessation of the "slum- her song" The forc!ble measures em- ployed in the process of conveying this intelligence aroused him completely and he was carried to headquarters without further difficulty.
 The crime for which Sam was want ed by the police was committed May 1. On that date he entered the house Of Eliza Bell Roberts. 20 Franklin Street, and stole a watch valued at ea5. He disappeared after the robbery and could not be located until yesterday when quarrel with his wife led to his arrest. He will be shortly tried in the Recorders Court.
