Complete Story ot House Breaking Incident and Full Deseriotion of the Men Who Probably Did the Job.

A rather bold burglary was commit ted Friday evening about S:30 o'clock when some one with a hatchet broke in the back door of the tailor shop of H. Hamburger. at 313 West Washing ton street, then with the same hatchet broke open the trunk of Frank A. Henry of Mesa City, a friend of Mir. Hamburger. who has been stopping with him in the shop for some time. From the trunk was taken a 3S-caliber Colts automatic pistol with black rubber handle, a s20 bill, a $10 bill, and two silver dollars, in 6 purse that was one of a number given away by the Baswitz cigar store and bearing the name of that firm on the inside. All that was taken of Mir. Hamburger s property. so far as yet discovered, was pair of gold cuff-buttons, dumb bell pattern. and thirty or forty copper cents which had accumulated in his shop. The burglars were evidently in a hurry. as they did not dig deep in the trunk. confining their thefts to the till of it. Beneath it there was a 32-caliber revolver and a tin box con taining valuable papers.
 Suspicion. almost with the certainty of conviction, rests upon William Me Crea, or McCray, a hobo tailor, who has been in the employ of Mir. Ham burger for some time. and another hobo named Ernest Harmon. who came here about six days ago and has haunted the Hamburger premises since then, keeping company with McCray He was permitted to stay in the tailor shop through the kindness of the pro prietor. as he had no money and was well aware of the presence of the trunk and the general disposition of things in the shop. Harmon said that he had worked a short time for the Southern Pacific in the depot at Mari copa as helper in the baggage room. while he was journeyiny toward Phoenix.
 Hamburger and Henry left the tailor shop about CHS o'clock Friday even ing and came further pp toward the business center on Washington street. where they met McCray and Harmon. who askei them when they would re- turn to the shop. Mir. Hamburger re- piled that he expected to be back about o'clock. However, he changed his plans and returned about o'clock. after an absence of only three-q quarters of an hour. to find the back door brok- en and the robbery committed Me Cray and Harmon have not since been seen.
