Burke so the story goes, had been
enjoying a little weekend party all
his own His funds gave out, but his
thirst still stayed with him. AS a boil
er tender at the Claain building he
had the keyes TO the front door. He
suggested TO Alton Lashus that both
go to the Claflin building and take
enough brass to enable them to pur-
chase some liquid refreshments. Lash
us verbally agreed, and the two men
started from down town for the shop,
where, besides a large supply of boil
ers and the like, Mr.. Clafin keeps a
valuable amount of brass and nickel
fixtures. Lashus remained on the out
side while Burke went into get the
brass. Previous to this they had met
Scott Linnell on the street, and had
asked whether he would buy any
brass. He gave an affirmative answer
and both men proceeded to get the
brass.
When Mrs. Charles Butler, wife of
officer Butler, who lives directly in
the rear of the Clanin shop, saw the
men tampering with the door she
became suspicious and telephoned to
the station. A few moments later,
Lashus, who turned States evidence,
came to the front door of the Butler
house and said that the police ought
to be notified of the attempt at larceny.
officer Butler and Lashus both re-
turned to the building at the same
time, to see Burke coming out of the
door carrying load of brass. He was
arrested and held till Monday morn
ing. Lashus was called as witness,
and his testimony, together with that
of officers Butler and Linnell, was
enough to convict Burke.
