from pocketbook at the Linden street house was discovered. Seeing David riding a bicycle up to the fac tory, Sergeant O'Mara, realizing that the young man knew him and would suspect his mission, stepped inside the office and Sergeant McCue ar rested David. Bernier identified him and the fact that David's employer said he uses a bicycle to run er- rands strengthened the identifca- tion, because Bernier said the youth he saw at Shefeloff's home left on a bicycle. The police were told by David's employer that the young man is away from the factory for long periods at a time on er- rands and always rides the bicycle.
 When David was confronted by the woman in whose house he was met in September, he said he was looking for a friend named Larson. When he was surprised in Rich's house, he made the same explana- ton. The police believe he is un- able to withstand the urge to steal money and was in hope of making himself believed every time he was surprised in a house.
 The police sa$ they may be able to connect David with other petty thefts. as their investigation has rot ended. Among his effects were two fingers rings and the police be- lieve they were stolen as they have at least one complaint of the theft of jewelry.
