friendly way that Harry Cathcart. of
90 seaman street, babe good bye to
TatIIch harding, a saloon keeper of
last night, according to
story told the police of the Ninety
nlnoh precinct by the alleged victim.
Cathcart, according to Harding. Sc

passed to a friend, when he saw
ina capture was imminent. The al
!eged thief and another friend. Will
nam Acker, Of Georges road. New

when the theft was discovered. were
arrested shortly after 7 o'clock last
night as they were about to boasd
the ferry boat Perth Amboy. THEW
Will be arraigned in the second dis
trict court today.
Botn men denied their guilt, but
Harding insisted they had taken the
money. They claimed. or at least
they told the police they had been
friends of Harding when he main
tained a saloon in New Brunswick.
but he denied their acquaintance and
said he had never seen them before
they called on him yesterday. Yes
terday afternoon, he said, three men,
two Of whom were Cathcart and
Acker, entered his home and made
known that they were from New
Brunswick. They were entertained
there all day, until about GAS
O'Clock. one of them announced that
their boat was about due.
Harding accompanied the trio as
far as the porch and there shook
hands with all three. When he
reached Cathcart, he says the de-
parting man extended one hand in
token Of departure and the other he
slid into his hosts trouser pocket,
drawing forth the roll Of S95. So
cleverly was the alleged theft exc
cuted that Harding was unaware of
his loss until n of his employees
asked for change of a S. bill.
Discovering his loss, the saloon
keeper reverted his thoughts to the
last time he had handled the money.
He reeollected that 1t had been safe
ly in his pocket a few minutes be-
fore his unknown and self-invited
guests had taken their departure.
Speeding after the men, first des-
patching the empioye for police aid,
Harding intercepted them Just as
they were about-to board the boat.
Cathcart, he says, turned the money
owe to one of the trio when he saw
him in pursuit, and the ~suddenly-en-
riched man promptly disappeared.
Patrolman Peter Finan had by
this time responded In answer to the
despatched employee, and he placed
Acker and Cathcart under arrest.
They were taken to police headquar-
ters and denied their guilt. But for
the Interference of Patrolman FL
nan, Catheart would probably have
engaged in a f1stic encounter with
his before the desk, so
wrought up was he owe what he
termed spite On the part of his for
mel townsman. Both men were
locked up owe night in the Eigh-
tieth precinct headquarters at Sta
pleton.
