was attempting to get into the apart
ment Mr.. Calvert started for the in
truder. making an outcrv which
brought s. J. Wallace, occupying an
adjoining apartment, TO the scene.
Mr.. Wallace fired at the man, who
escaped.
Detectives Springmann and Darneu
declared that they could find no con-
nection between this case and tho
Matthew OBrien hammer case. but
they obtained description Of the
man and Instituted search for him.
