building in the rear of the resi-
dence of Lee Cowen, 1912 Ninth
avenue. Cowen is also a negro,
and is said by the police to have
rented the room to Miller. The de-
tectives state that at IL O'Clock
last night they saw Miller cutting
across lots on his way to his home,
and that as he came abreast OF
them, they dashed out and soon
had their man overpowered.
Miller's room is said by the po-
lice to have been ideal headquar-
tiers for the thief as he could come
and go with small chance of being
detected.
The police have obtained two
negro women and one negro man
who will be used as witnesses
against Miller for the burglary at
tie Mattausch home. One negro
woman states that she was paid
IOc by Miller for getting change
for a $50 gold coin. The other wom-
an received Is cents for obtaining
change for a $50 gold coin. The
negro man obtained change for one
$50 gold coin, but refused later to
get change for SO gold coin
When arresterd last night Miller
had $60.S0 in his possession. No
gold coin was found on him, and
the police say the man must have
been successful in obtaining silver
and paper money in exchange for
the $50 in gold taken at the Mat
tausch residence.
Clues Lead to Identification.
The felt hat that was left by the
burglar at the Condor home to-
gether with a pair of shoes that
were worn by Miller when arrested,
have been identified by the propri-
etors of the Brady department
store of this city as articles of
wear sold to Miller about two
weeks ago. This evidence lis held
hy the police to cIinch the state
ment that Miller also robbed the
Condor residence.
The police say that Miller has
been out on parole for two months,
but that they have proof that the
negro has worked but Is hours in
the last two weeks. He is said to
he well supplied with new clothes.

by Detectives Tom Cox and Den

loss was sustained by Rock Island
citizens.
The police claim that they have
sufficient evidence to prove that
Miller entered the home of Edward
Mattausch, 1104 Twenty-frst ave
nue., through a window on the
night of Sept %, and stole $3.50 in
gold coin and SIS in paper money,
and that he entered the home OF
Dr.. c. Condor, 1901 Twenty-first
avenue, through a window, on the
night of Oct s, and stole pocket
book containing small change.
At the Condor home the burglar
was frightened away from the
house before he had time to thor
oughIy search the residence, and in
his haste dropped his hat, which is
Of brown felt, and which is one of
the main clues that led to Miller's
arrest last night.
