BURGLAR LEFT
SHOES IN HALL
OF The HOTEL
PatroIman Andrew Jensen
Sees Them and Captures
an Old Offender.
WAS ROBBING REGISTER
Entrance Is Gained Through
Cellar Window Using Ske-
Teton Key to Barroom.

John Chakowsky, twenty-three
years old, with no home, who ac-
cording to the police has served time
in the New Jersey Reformatory, fell
prey to Patrolman Andrew Jensen
while in the act of robbing the till
of cash register In the barrOom of
the Raritan Bridge Hotel operated
by Frank Guile at Market and
Prospect streets at 1880 o'clock this
morning. The youth was found In
his stocking feet. In his possession
was 50 in bills and fifty-flve cents in
pennies which he had removed from
the cash register. Entrance was
gained by going through the cellar
into the kitchen and using a skele-
ton key to enter the barroom. The
robber was held without bail to
await the action Of the grand jury
when arraigned before Recorder
Kehoe this morning.
Policeman is Complimented.
The capture made by Patrolman
Andrew Jensen Is considered one of
the best in the history OF crime in
this city and he was warmly compli-
mented by his superiors this morn
ing. Chief Burke said he had
knowledge of Chakowsky's opera
tions but was unable to catch him
with the goods. The officer caught
his man hiding under portion OF
the bar after he had found his shoes
In hallway leading to the barroom,
Chakowsky had nothing to say as
he stood charged with the serious
crime of burglary. He was sorry
looking object to gaze upon, being
without shoes, coatless and hatless.
His hair was badly ruffled and his
shirt hung loose about his neck.
Frank Guile, proprietor of the
Raritan Bridge Hotel, says his place
was entered about three weeks ago.
He believes Chakowsky had often
been in his place and knew the plan
of rooms on the first floor.
Shoes Caused His Arrest.
Chakowsky's tan shoes caused his
arrest In gaining entrance the
young robber went through por-
ton of the cellar and came up into
the kitchen. He then prepared q
door leading to Prospect street for
hasty escape, but he made mis-
take in removing his shoes and plac-
Ing them just inside of the door.
After that he used skeleton key to
enter the barroom and the rest was
easy. When Patrolman Jensen came
along trying doors at 1880 O'Clock
he noticed the side door partly open.
He pushed 1t wide open and saw the
shoes. His suspicious were immedi-
ately aroused.
Following brief investigation he
aroused the proprietor and Chakow-
skv was fOund hiding under pOr-
ton of the bar. In his pockets was
the stolen money and some papers
taken from the cash register,
