Policeman, Mistaken for Rob- ber, Almost Shot by His Comrades. ‘Te the amazement of the police and the electric alarm people, burgiars made another attempt this morning beneath the lights of Police Headquarters to get at the big safe of Meyer, Martin & Danda, linen and embroidery importers, at Nos. 142-14 Grand street. In this, their second visit within twen- ty-four hours, the robbers showed abso- lute contempt for the police, but were again foiled by the electric alarm. This all succeeded in escaping, though the building was quickly sur- rounded. ‘The wang to-day broke into the bulld- ing through the scuttle window, out six men, when dis- turbed early yesterday, started upon the fight that ended in two of them being captured after shots had been fired in a chase over the roofs. They actually were able to make use of the ladder that was left by yesterday's men, for mer had not removed it from the reot.
