William Dennison, in bathrobe and | nished room, very intently conning | over his favorite evening paper. Suddenly he saw an item that, had he mentally classified it, he would | have placed with “Business Oppor- tunities.” Mr. Dennison was a burglar, but if | i he and Bill Sykes had met, Sykes would probably have tried to rob | im. Dennison did not look like a ! burglar. Mild-mannered in appearance, unob- trusively dressed, he occupied a room in a modest-priced bachelor apart-; ment house, and was one of the best tenants, aud quiet in his habits. The article that had attracted his attention read as follows: “SHE ROBBED HERSELF. “Mrs. Jessie Corbett of No. | West Eighty-seventh street, ‘heroine’ of the sensational burglary that cre- ated excitement a few days ago. has admitted to the police that she robbed herself. “With tears running down her cheeks, she told Detective Graney to- day that having lost a large sum at | bridge, she was afraid to tell her hus- band, although honor compelled her to pay her gambling debts. “Accordingly, she pawned her jew- elry and settled with her creditors. A | few days later she was found in her upurtnwnls. bound and gagged. “It now develops that her maid. be- I cause of a handsome cash bonus, had | agreed to be her accomplice, tied her i with ropes, and then, returning from | ‘market,’ had given the alarm that kept the entire detective force busy ulm and night. This girl finally broke | down, after a vigorous ‘third degree, rand her admissions to Detective Graney, used with effect, have drawp a confession from the ‘vietim.' “Contrary to what most husbands ! would have done, Mr. Corbett has for- | glven his wife, and has even gone so | far as to take her jewels out of pawn and return them to her. The collee- | tlon of gems {8 valued at $3,500; but, | despite their value, the wife has al- | ways kept them in a bureau drawer, which has the flimsiest kind of a lock. !Mr. and Mrs., Corbett live alone in their apartment, except for the maid, | Mary Andrews.” | 2 | & @ & @ @ (.‘)l “Everybody should read the news- papers,” he saild, addressing a water- color on the opposite side of the roof. “They are worth their welght in gold to a bhusiness man.” el | Two days later when Mary Andrews { returned to the Corbett apartment after a trip downtown, she saw some thing that sent her bounding to the 2 | telephone 2| “Police headquarters!” she cried after an interval: “Give me In Reilly.
