placed him under arrest. At the
borough hall the burgess identified
the man as the same man who had ac-costed
him several days ago and ask-ed
for money to get something to
eat. He said that he was on strike
and had no mony to buy food. The
Burgess gave him a quarter to get a
meal. The man who said he saw the
brick thrown, could not Identify the
man held as the one who did it.
Had the brick been aimed a trifle
lower It would have struck the bur-gess
or his son as both were within
range and the brick was thrown at
such an angle thai the thrower must
have stood at the corner of Elm and
Forrest streets, in the shadow of the
trees.
Shortly before the brick was thrown
a man was seen acting in a suspic-ious
manner in front of the Btemple
estate on the opposite side of the
street from the Burgesa's store, west
from Porree street. Kroni this point
a good view is had of the Interior of
the store and owing to the many
trees one might walk along unobserv-trotn
any of the buildings opposite.
Several persons claim to have seen
this man and described him the same

was one which uad been taken from a
