iew Het of togs and wiib placed bo-
blnd tbo bars In Hotel Do Whaloy.
An entrance waa ejected by put.
ting such force ngaliiBt tbo rear North
door iih to draw the wills holding tbo
Iron staple through which a wooden
bar wan placed to hold the double

The fellow wa Bttn on fihoc box
in the North side of the .Mc David es-
tablishment neaf tho archwav be-
tween thfi two main buildings putting
on a -pair of No. 8 1-2 nice now shoes
already having put on a pair of new
grey trousers and the coat And vest
Blzo IW. of a 25 Bull of blue serge
goods
He had oi) one shoe and wan busy
placing the otlter one on when qlllcer
Newton entered the store from the
back door after having called John
Holmes to IiIh (iBHlBttmce.
He wan sitting between two coun-
ters of clothing and It was hard for
the olllcer to get n glimpse of him
until he hoard a noise In the rear nud
arose to see who Wus Intruding upon
his privacy. Newton Uud Hotmos
with plHtolB In hand called to the
man to throw up IiIh hands and It
vrnrf repeated several times before he
obeyed the command and officer New-
ton said he was in the act of shooting
almost when the fellow halloed his
hands were up. Tly then command-
(I him to come out to an electric
light which was burping which ho did
TeluctuutJy. and tbentha?ofllcers ap-
proached hlin and caused him to pull
off tho clothQB that belonged to the

that ho thought In thin way to dis-
tract the attention of olllcerfl from

give him n chance to get hold of the
