Where Was He? Dight policemen hunted for almost five fours for a burglar at Bowery and Houston street this morning. One pa- wwonnan plainly saw the burglar, but stthough the house was quickly sur- rounded and carefully searched, after a great deal of difficulty, the burglar in gome manner yet to be explained es- caped. | It was just a few minutes after 1 e’clock this morning when Patrolman Timothy Keyes, of the Fifth street sta- tion, passing along the Bowery a few doors above Houston street, on the east had his attention attracted by a shadow on the big plate glass window of No, 15. The place is occupied by the Wholesale liquor firm of Steinhardt Brothers. ‘The policeman stopped, and going close to the window looked in, There was a as jet burning w.thin, but it was turned very low. Towards the rear end of the store there Is a big safe. pr a few minutes the policeman saw nothing, but When his eyes got more used to the | darkness with.n, he saw standing before the safe, turning the knob of the combination, a small boy. He saw the boy pluiniy. and looked at him enough to get a cription of him. He wore a striped shirt, no coat, dakr trousers and a small round cap, Cautiously the pollueman tried the front door, only *o find {t strongly barred, Finding no door open in (ne Tear of the hous, rman Ke Lo= clded th ance.
