 ARREST AN EMPL0YE
 0F CANDY FACTORY

If Pedro Perez, of Eleventh and Washington streets, had visions of be- coming a sugar king when he helped himself to 100-pound lots from the Sanichas candy factory they have been rudely shattered. The city jail is not a place conducive to the continu ance of dreams And Perez is in the city jail, placed there last night by Policemen John J. McGrath, Ed N. Barnum and Vernon Culp, following the discovery of three sacks of con fectioner'S sugar in the rooms occu- pied by Perez and his wife, and the re- covery of another sack Perez is alleged to have sold t5 neighbor for s, with the promise of an additional $3 next week" Just before Perez was appre- hended as he was leaving a picture house, Jose Valenzuela, step father of Mrs. Perez, was locked up at the police station for investigation, the police be- lieving he had guilty knowledge of the theft
 Perez is employed by Sanchas brothers and carries a key to the candy factory. It was an easy matter for him to drive a wagon up to the factory at night and help himself to the big sacks This he is said to have done Yesterday it is alleged Perez attempted to sell the sugar to some grocers in the southeast part of the city. The dealers, however seemed suspicious and declined to buy And besides, con- fectioner's sugar is not an article in general household use.
 When Perez was arrested last night it was found in searching him that he carried a set of metal knuckles in his hip pocket. It is likely that in addi- tion to d charge of larceny he will be called upon to answer another of car rying concealed deadly weapons
