FALLS VILLA GE
JOHN BURNS CAUGHT


 Constable I. P. Hornbeck went to Hartford, Thursday and arrested John Burns, alias John Manavias, who was employed as a tent man with the Bar mum Bailey circus. Burns was charged with the theft of clothing, jewelry, etc, from Charles Corey's house in May. Constable Hornbeck got clue in Stam- ford, which convinced him that his man was with the circus, and after a thorough search of the circus grounds, he discovered Burns as he was entering the mess-tent for supper. Burns was brought to Falls Village, Friday and placed on trial before Justice A. s. Davis, but the evidence was so meagre that the prisoner was virtually dis charged though a watchful eye was kept on him. The same night he went to MT. Hornbeck, owned up that he had entered the Corey house and stolen the clothes. He was again locked up, and on Saturday Justice Davis bound him over in $200 for trial at the next term of the superior court. In default of bail he went to jail.
