CARLIT.

REAL-LIFE DETECTIVE

STORIES.

A button, a soft felt hat, a trick of writing, a small piece of wire have all figured as clues which have brought criminals to justice, ac cording to Mr. Francis Carlin, a former superintendent at Scotland Yard, whose recollections of his career as a detective have been pub lished by Hutchinson,

Descriptions circulated in the Press inve frequently resulted in the arrest of Taw-breakers,

NEW YORK. Two, debonnir burglars who tem- pered their criar with the gay courtesy of a Rifles have sat all New York ringing with wonder at The nudacity of their enterprise.

Wall Street especially is consumed with guriosity regarding the motives of their burglary, for their victim in Mr. Jesse Livermore, the most cele-movements of a rat led to putting into the dock a gang of four men brated of stock speculators, who who had committed a daring jewel sprang into Fame as "the boy robbery at the Berkeley Hotel, Pic- plunger in the panic of 1907, and cudilly, W. since then has been the hero of a series of sensational Stock Exchange campaigns.

As a financial gambler he is a mysterious figure in Wall Street. Inasmuch as the burglars chival rously tossed back to Mr. Liver more, his wife and their guests more. than £20,000 worth of jewels, but insisted on searching his private safe for financial data and docu- ments, suspicion is natural that cash and jewels were not the main object

of their adventure.

Bo Nice, Please." Mr. Livermore and his wife, with two guests, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Aronsohn, were at their country. estate situated on the shores of

Long Island Sound when, a little after 4 a.m., Mrs. Aronsohn, hear ing a scraping sound outside her window, sat up. She saw the ends- of a ladder ace-sawing along the balcony rail.

A man's head appeared. An intruder sprang into the

rooni.

Another followed-him-

Both had electric headlamps and large revolvers.

Now, hush; please! aid a well-modulated voice, as Mrs. Aron sohn started to cry, "Be nice, please the voice continued," and you won't get hurt.'

The burglars turned on the light. They were dressed immaculately, and instead of villainous scowls they wore subdued and humorous smiles as they searched the dressing-table and fumbled through Mr. Aron- solm's pockets before agaip ap proaching the bed,

Watch Tossed Back. "Better give us that ring," one of them said, pointing to a sapphire and diamond ring worth £3,500 visible above the sheet which Mrs. Aronsohn was clutching.

She gave it to him. He then grusfred Mr. Aronsohn's wrist and took a platinum watch set with dia- nonds, but a moment later tossed it back, saying "Oh, well, madam, don't cry. Harry can have his watch."

Addressing the couple in the most polite manner, the burglar then Baid: "We have another call to make in this house, and if you're good we won't come back"

They cut the telephone wire, lock- ed the door, and disappeared by the window. A few minutes later they entered the bedroom of the Livermores.

They took a £1,000

ring from Mrs. Livermore's hand, but bowed low and returned it when she cried. They also, at her re- quest, returned a ring taken from her husband's hand, but they kept a 24,000 ring they found on the dressing table.

From a drawer they drew out a £16.000 string of pearls.

"Oh, dear!" said Mrs, Liver- more, I do wish you wouldn't take that. It's worth ten thousand times to me what you can get for it. It's the dearest thing my husband ever.
