Middletown. X. Y, Oct. 24. By the
alleged confession of Charles lloos, until
a few- days ago Superintendent of the
Walkill Transit Company's lines in
Orange, a spectacular police mystery
ba sbeen solved. According to the po
lice he admitted to them yesterday that
he had robbed one of the large depart'
went stores in the city besides several
residences in the last few months.
Boo jestingly reminded police that
he, himself, had raised the hue and cry
one night a few weeks ago when a burg'
lar was chased out of the residence
of F. P. S. Crane, a wealthy man. He
said the police were so close to him
before he got out of the house that he
ran ahead of them shouting, "stop thief.
catch that man!" This ruse worked so
well that Boos resorted to it again a
few nights later when he had forced
his way into the home of .1. L. Pendle'
ton and from which he was frightened
lv an alarm.
A Modern Social Highwayman.
Boos i regarded as a modern social
highwayman. He drew a large salary
as superintendent of the big transit cor
poration and lived in good style in
ipartment on one of the het street
in the city. He was popular in society
and dressed in the latest fashion. He
was apparently one of the luie-t men
in the town, and had no time for any
thing but work, and teued an ex
emplary man of business.
(rest was the amazement when it
became known last Friday that Boos
had been arrested and linked up. The
harge against him wa made by the
officials of the Transit Company. It
was charged that the superintendent
had stolen a large quantity of copper
wire from the company and sold it to
a junk dealer.
A subsequent search of Boos fine
apartments revealed plunder for which
the police had been looking and which,
it is alleged was taken from a depart
ment store and private residences. Con
fronted with the good, Boos, it is said
confessed.
Boos' bachelor apartments were the
best in town and incidentally he had
ad'led to their comfort by tapping the
wires of the company from which he
drew a large salary and furnishing his
rooms wih five in-andecnnt lights.

Pennsylvania Physician Makes an Ex
pensive Mistake.
Kittanning. Pa., When Dr. S. A.
Jesiip happened to enter the bedrofmi
of his ri-ter he was indignant to see
on her dreeing table a pill lx which
bore the inscription "strychnine."
Dr. Jessup had prescribed strychnine
for his ftiser for a tonic, but his in
dignation was caused by the fact that
she should allow the box containing
the deadly pellet to remain within
reach of the children. He threw the
box through the oen window. Th
he went down stairs, his "dandder" thor
oughly up, looking for his sister.
But Mr. Jessup only got a few words
of his remarks out. Hi si-ter uttered
a scream when she learned that the doc
tor had thrown the box out of the win
dow. I.n-t night for three hour everybody
in the ncighliorhood searched with lan
terns for the misting pill Ikx. Finally
it was found, to the great relief of the
lix-tor and hi oi-ter. It contained $l,2i'
worth of unmounted diamonds.
