RcBroad street. The trio also attempted

night bartender, William Titus.
Robbery Is Detected.
The attention of the police was
called to the men when they left
Reihing's, about 4:45 o'clock yester-
day morning. The two said to havS
been in the place were leaving a rear
door which they had jimmied open.
when one of them dropped a flask Of
whiskey upon the cobblestones, with
which the railroad yard in the rear is
paved, drawing the attention of a
policeman across he street. The third
member of the gang was seen on the
root. but escaped.
The policeman started after thu
men as they began to run out through
the railroad driveway 20 Mulberry
street. As they reached Mulberry
street they saw two other policemen
coming toward them and they broke,
taking different directions. Another,
policeman appeared at this time. and
the chase began in earnest.
With Patrolmen Dolan and Kerrigan
after him O'Brien shot through Null
berry street and turned into Lafay-
cite, Dillon doubling on Policemen
Dyer and Weller and running up Mud
berry street. AS the chase started,
Sergeant Tracy was leaving police
headquarters for home. As he reached
Broad and Green streets he heard two
club raps, followed by ancther-the
signal for help. simultaneously he
heard a cry of stop that man." and
a shot.
Running up Broad street he reached
Lafayette just as q man turned into
Broad. Seeing the bluecoat the man,
who proved to be O'Brien, ran across
Broad street and into Branford place.
Shouting to him to stop without avail
the sergeant drew a revolver and fired.
without taking qnparnnf T notice
O'Brien continued through Crawford
place to Halsey and turned toward
William street.
Meantime Dolan and Kerrigan were
hot after, Dillon. From Mulberry
street the pursued turned into Me-
chanic, the police gaining upon hin
slightly. At this point the police cried
to him to stop, blazing, away with their
guns when they found their yells failed
to halt him.
Are Not Thief, Takers.
AS O'Brien took to the paving on
turning into Halsey street Sergeant
Tracy saw two men walking down
Halsey street and cried stop. thiefl"
Their only desire being to get away
the men simply Rugged h 70 house line
the closer and let the burglar get by.
From Halsey street into William and
over William to Broad went O'Brien,
Tracy at his heels and blazing away
now and then in the hope of attracting
attention. At William street O'Brien
decided to go around a platform erected
there while a building operation is go
ing on rather than try to go over 1t.
This move proved his undoing. as
Dwyer and Weller were laying along
there and got him just as Tracy turned,
almost upon him.
Dillon had run through Mechanic
street to Broad street n turned into
Broad street. Down Broad street he
went, the policemen gaining on him
at every step. Thinking he might turn
into any number Of the numerous by
ways offering safety they kept up their
firing. Taking a chance on going
straight ahead, however. Dillon kept
on out Broad street, where he was
caught by Dolan and Kerrigan but a
few seconds before his companion was
cornered. The pair we're taken to the
First Precinct station house and
locked up.
