Detective sergeants


Huff and Long today arrested two
men accused of stealing large quanti-
| ties of rope from two barges anchor
ed in Staten Island sound last night.
When caught the stolen rope was
| found In the boat in which the men
made their getaway from this city.
The barge captains complained of
the thefts to the police this morning.
Capt. H. Miller. of the barge Haver-
ford. and Capt. A. Anderson, of the
barge Nanticook, of the Great East
ern transportation Company. said
that during the night thieves had
stolen rope. thirty-five and sixty
fathoms in length, respectively, from
the barges, which were alongside
each other.
After picking up clues along the
waterfront the detectives hired a
boat and proceeded posthaste up
Staten Island sound. When Just past
Port Reading they sighted catboat
answering the description of the one
they had heard of in this city When
they caught up with the sailboat they
placed the men under arrest.
The stolen rope was identified by
the two captains. The boat was a
large sailboat commonly known as q
catboat, and there were evidences
that an engine had recently been
taken from 1t. The police believe
that 1t Is stolen craft.
When brought to the police station
the men said that they were Barney
McKearnen, q well known character
about the shore, and Charles G.. Love,
of Maine the owner of the boat.
The two will be arraigned before
Recorder Pickersgill tomorrow morn
ing. The police are delighted at the
capture, as they feel that the arrest
of McKearnen and Love is the first
step toward cleaning up the sound
and bay of river pirate, whose nefar-
ious operations have been the sub
ject of much recent action and COM
ment by the Board of Harbor Com
missioners.
