YOUNG CRAGKSMIAN 1S ARESTED AFTER PANT STORE “108" Walks Into Arms of Waiting Officer as He Leaves Scene of Safe Cracking. $67.75 IN CURRENCY FOUND IN PRISONER’S BRIEF CASE Tells Police It Was His First Offense as He Is Held for Investigation. Unaware that the sound of his ham- mer had betrayed him, a young cracks- man laboriously pounded open two strong boxes in the Muth paint store, at 710 Thirteenth street, last midnight, stuffed such currency as he could get at into a brief case and stepped from the ! front door into the arms of a waiting | policeman. Sergt. W. J. Cunningham of the Traf- | fic Bureau, summoned by a night watch- man, heard muffied echoes from within the store and crept up a fire escape to the roof of the three-story building. Peering through & skylight, Cunningham was trying to locate the intruder when hammering ceased. m'enu officer made a quick guess that his man would attempt to leave by a front door and hastened to the street. Although there were several other exits, including the skylight through which | the cracksman entered, Cunningham’s | guess proved correct. and he captured the man without resistance. | Son of Mme.
