Harris, 135 Main street. Entering the store in ques- tion when James 8. McCarthy, the clerk, was all alone they ordered an article which they were certaln would necessitate a visit to the basement. While one of the men accompanied the clerk, the other remained on the main floor and when alone, according to the police. he placed two suits in a large black satchel. When his companion re- turned with the clerk, the two men left the store. Shortly after their departure, McCarthy noticed that two suits were missing and he im- medately notified the police, who in turn passed the information to other clothiers on Main and North Main street with the request that head- quarters be informed immediately if the fraud was again attempted. Early Tuesday afternoon the two men now in custody entered the store of J. R. Mitchell and Company and asked for an article which they in some manner knew was kept in the basement. The suspicions of the clerk was aroused and going to the opposite end of the store he noti- fied the police by telephone. Officer Strup went to the store and was taken to the basement by the clerk. There he found one of the men and took him into custody. When he returned to the main floor, he found that the other man had departed and he went to the telephone to notify headquarters. While he was talling, the other man walked out the door. Both were picked up on Main street a few minutes later as they were about to enter a car which was parked a short distance away from Mitchell's store. ‘While no evidence was prescnted to the court this morning, it is known that McCarthy identified both men as the ones who visited the Harris store on January 29. Detective Sergeant Daniel Mec- Gillicuddy, who is investigating the case, left for New York city this morning with fingerprints of both men. These will be checked at the fingerprint bureau of the New York police department. The addresses given by the prisoners will also be | investigated. Arande is a Mexican while Rovis claims Austria s his birthplace. Both men speak English and Span- ish fluently.
