accumulating a bad police record about
as rapidly as it can be done, was arrest
ed yesterday by Police officer Thomas

He is suspected of being implicated in
the recent daring robberies committed in

The robbery with which Blair is sus-
pected of being implicated was COM
mitted Saturday night and was followed
by others ON Sunday night. In the home
Of DIR. II. II. Warrington the burglar en-
tered shortly after the occupants of the
house had left and secured a revolver,
diamond ring and a brooch before they
returned an hour later. The thief had
evidently made thorough search OF the
house, as every corner and possible hid
ing place for valuables was looked into
and all of the lights in the house were
left lighted.
The other burglaries were committed
at the home OF Charles r. Tossing and
Mrs. Henry s. Davis About 5000 worth

TWO LAWYERS WITHDRAW.
Mcintyre and Hart, Who Defended Beck.
er, Are Out.

New York, Nov. John F. Mcintyre
and John W. Hart, who defended Charles
Becker in his trial for the murder OF
Herman Rosenthal and who were ex.
pected to prepare his appeal to the high
er court for new trial, are said to
have abandoned the case.
The story runs that they win not
prepare any briefs to be submitted to
the court of appeals; they win not
file the formal notice of an appeal; they
will not even see Becker at Sing Sing.
This news. full explanation of which
is lacking, did not come from the law
yers, for Mcintyre was out of town yes
terdav. and Hart refused either to affirm
or DENY il. but it came from man
who is in the confidence of both.
"why?" was the big question that
followed the announcement of the law
yer's retirement II wasn't because
Becker could not raise sufficient funds
to continue them in his employ. He
still has backing. if not ready money,
and the attorneys are not the sort TO
drop a big case on that account.
