Brown, who lives on 16th street, be- tween 20th and ist, called this morning on the chairman of the citizens’ committee to see if he could obtain assistance in recovering a watch which had been stolen trom his residence last year. Inthe course of the conversation Mr. Brown stated that he had been robbed twelve different times during the year 1881, and had reported in each instance to the detectives, but never discovered any- thing. Since the purchase of a dog he had not been troubled with thieves. The sworn statements of the robberies committed by Parker, which appeared in Saturday’s STAR, created vyie- Sprrad attention. Asite from the interest attached to the recital of such experiences, the ligut which was thrown on the methods of thieves ant their connections and friends was somewhat starting. ‘rhe concluston reached very generally Ws low it was possible that such operations could be carried on under the very noses of the police. It is thought that If some of the police oMicers will _teli what they know that the work of the grand jury will be greatly simplified.

Smith has written r letter to the Commisstoners, stating that lie can support the charges by evidence, and nam- ins as his witnesses two of the ex-detectives Tt that the Commissioners will hear what these witnesses have to say, and if the testimony Wa rants, they will rerer the charges to the police bo ord for lnvestiy tion, Th re 1s a rumor that the ex-detectives are be- ginnins “to run jor cover,” and a Stax reporter Was (wid that one ef them’ has offered to make a clean breast of it, — } Events in the Churches.
