Thief Comes To Grief, However
When Game Is
Pursued.

BERLIN. Nov. l0-A Berlin shop
inter named Starke, with two com
panions. planned midnight raid on
a large butchering establishment,
where they had ascertained consid-
cradle amount OF money was kept on
the premises.
Starke clambered into the building
through a window. but just as his
two companions were about 10 fol-
low. they perceived that they were
under the observance OF street
Waterman, and promptly decamped.
Warned by the disappearance OF MS
comrades that something unexpected
had occurred. Starke threw on MS
Jacket, donned blood-stained butch
ers apron and cap, switched on the
electric light. and, seizing butcher
knife, began 10 work furiously on the
meat.
When the Waterman appeared and
asked the supposed butcher whether
he had not observed the suspicious
behavior of two men outside, Starke
replied nonchalantly that he had seen
the rascals. but that they had run on
on catching sight OF him, whereupon
the Waterman withdrew, satisfied that
everything was in order. Then Starke
robbed the cash till. packed up some
choice pieces OF meat In a parcel, and
opening the door with key which
he found on the premises, quietly let
himself out and departed.
A few days ago Starke decided tnat
he required a new supply OF footwear,
and started out To procure IL En-
tering a boot shop he tried on seNerai
pairs OF boots. and finally, finding
something TO his satisfaction, allowed
the assistant 10 fasten them for him.
and then walked about the shop de
elaripg that the boots fitted him per
fectly. He then asked the assistant
10 show him some brown shoes, and
while she mounted stepiadder In
search OF the article desired, Starke
took TO his heels.
The assistant Immediately gave
chase. and the pursuit was quickly
taken up by number OF people, az
the head OF whom ran Starke shout
