A man lived io this atreot by the name of Lord. Bome one attempted to enter Lord’a houso—a valine was subsequently found near tho place which contained bits, eto., thas exactly fitted the holes found in Mr. Lord’s door, Footprints wore found also, which could not be mistaken ; the Impreseiou of hobnails was overywhere ap- parent, Conklin, finding the valise with tho burglars’ tools, arrested Ryan on the strength of it, Hyan was brought up before proper Q@uthorities, After # thorough {nvesiga- tion it was discovered from the sor venta of Mr. Lord that the poor old man, the week, feeble tramp, Ryan, had been coming to their house, on One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street cee srary ar lng to at ones explain Hortons cf as, sayatarious footpriuts. Conklin failed to show any connection whatever betwoon Ryan and the valise, hence Ryan wan honorably discharged.
