Two Policemen Run Him
Down and Take Him to

Cries of "Stop thief" issuing from
st. Paui's Church, Broadway and

an alleged poor box thief in which
"A dozen policemen and scores of pc
dcstrians took part and treated thou

Several complaints of thefts in st.

The OrCanlst sauntcrcd over to the
intruder and asked him what he was
doing, whereupon the intruder bolted
from the church George Meade,
sexton, happened along and he and
Jacques set out IN pursuit, shouting
''stop thief" AT the top of their lungs.
The man dashed out into the church
yard and through the front entrance,
turning into Nesey Street Policeman
Lane of the Oak Street Station, stand
ing across Broadway from the church,
heard tho shouts and set out after the
fleeing man.
