CRACkSMEb MAKE THREE
 VISITS DURING NIGHT

Burglars, believed by the police to be amateur cracksmen. visited three places over night. Antonio Fraenza' s cafe at East Main and Nichols street was the scene of the largest haul, where about $40 in cash was taken as we'll as a quantity Of bottle goods and cigars.
 The other places were Dancsak's g cafe at the foot of William street, and F. A. Merten's delicatessen store at 263 State street.
 Entrance into Fraenza's store was made through a rear transom. If the intruder didn't carry ladder he must have possessed the agility of a train- ed acrobat. The money was taken from cash register.
 The principal loot at Merten's was a pouch containing change to start business. At Dancsak's cafe, half a dozen bottles of liquors and small quantity of cigars were taken. En- trance here was gained by breaking a panel from back door, reaching through and slipping the bolts.

Harry Monroe, Harry White and

Justice Jeffries, Monday noon, on Tie
charge OF burglarizing the residence
tof Joseph A. Marks, No. 264 Hancock

Palmer was caught and held by
James Southwick. as the three were
leaving the house, and the others
were arrested later, and are said 10
have confessed, and TO have express
ed their Willingness TO plead guilty
TO the charge.
All OF them stood mute when ar

Monroe. who gained the title Oh
"The Boy Bandit during his trial on
the charge OF holding up the cashier
in the Brushaber store, now says that
he intends TO fight the burglary case.
He was the cause OF heated ses-
sion between Chief OF Detectives Rob
ert Palmer and a certain Jeweler, Sat
urday, when he told Palmer that the
jeweler had arranged for Monroe TO
hold up a citizen and steal diamonds,
for which the jeweler promised TO pay
$500.
Monroe and the jeweler were
brought face TO face IN Capt. Palmer
office, where Monroe repeated his
statement, and the jeweler denied the
actual plot, but admitted that he had
talked about some diamonds" with
Monroe.
He said, though, that he was friend
