Told the Police He Had No Rec- ollection of His Predatory Tour in East Oak- land. SRRSO, Oakland Office San Francisco Call, | 1118 Broadway, March 16. The police have a mystery on their hands in the person of Thomas Pattersen, | the burglar captured last evening by W. | H. Price. Patterson declares he was hyp- | notized by a couple of strangers whom he | met on the ferry-boat yesterday afternoon while he was coming to Oakland. The burglar flatly asserts that he has not the remotest idea who were the strangers by whom he was led by “some irresistible force” to go to the Price residence, and he has likewise as stoutly affirmed that he did not realize until long after his ar- rest what had occurred. The tale is somewhat discredited by ihe detectives who have been trylng to get information from Patterson concerning his companions who escaped. Patterson was not under the influence of | liquor when he was taken into custody | last night. His only statement concerning himself is that he Is a typesetter and ar- rived here from Kingman, Ariz., a f>w days ago.
