thief had left the city.
Tip rrom rawnbroker.
Upon Information received from one
of the pawnbrokers that a young man
had been endeavoring to dispose of some
silverware answering th description of
tna plunder, Detective Hellyer set about
to locate the -suspect While passing
jnrst ana Washington streets this
morning he noticed a well-dressed Win
coming down th latter thoroughfare
with a whit cardboard box under hia
arm. Aa the fellow tallied with the
description given by the second-hand
dealer, Hellyer determined to halt the
man. ; : '
"Just a minute. I want to talk to
you," aald th officer, stepping directly
In front of Lenta. Shifting hia pack
age from tha right to left arm the burg
lar made a movement toward hia hip
pocket, at th same time endeavoring to
pass the detective.
Hellyer had hia "handcuffs out tn a
flash and before Lents had an oppor
tunity to ' draw hia gun one of the
bracelets Was snapped on hia right
wrist Quickly searching his prisoner
and ascertaining that he waa armed.
Hellyer fastened th other cuff and
marched hia, quarry to headquarters.
To Chief Qrltsmaycher . the prisoner
gave his name as Harry Lents and his
age as 36 years. He waa faultlessly at
tired in a costly black suit, Panama
hat, patent leather low shoes, linen of
Immaculate whiteness and would easily
pass for the scion of some wealthy
rami l v .
An examination of the box carried
by Lenta brought to light the greater
portion of tne silverware carriea away
from the Levy residence. All or tne
knives, forks snd spoons were stamped
with the Initial "L." To make the
Identification of the plunder absolutely
certain Mr. Lety was called to head
quarters and Immediately declared the
articles to be his property.
Lents is evidently a clever house
breaker as ha refused to give any in
formation concerning himself. Hia
fatal mistake lay in carrying the very
box In which the goods were packed, by
Mr. Levy about the public streets with
out a covering of wrapping paper.
"You certainly were foolish." said
Hellyer to hia prisoner after making
the arrest. "In trying to get rid of this
stuff here.
"1 know that" replied Lents, -"and
guess there Is something coming to
me.
