js-'i- Ti IU Tg THE TIMES, WASHINGTON, THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 18, 1902. 10 -f lit 16 I BURGLAR CAPTURED BY MRS. W. OSGOOD Made Him Restore the Articles He Had Taken.

HE WEPT FOR HIS RELEASE She, Melted by His Tears, Permitted Him to Depart and Then She Told Her Husband, Who Informed the Police Too Late. A bold sneaktlilef was thwarted In an attempt to walk away with some of the valuable belongings of Mrs. Whitman Osgood, of H02 Fourteenth Street northwest, yesterday afternoon, and although he was not arrested, he was frightened off. The would-be robber was a young man, dressed moderately veil, and looked and acted as if he TvasBn amateur at the game. Had Jlrs.

Osgood not been a sympathetic person. and had the young man not been the possessor of an exceptionally smooth tongue, he would, have been lodged behind the bars. Shortly after noon yesterday Mrs. Osgood, who resides in the thhd apartment at Fourteenth and Streets, heard a noise in her bedroom, and knowing that none of the family was in the house, her suspicions' -were aroused, and she went to see who was making the noise. When she entered she saw the young man pulling out the'bureau drawers and ailing his pockets with what he found in them.

He turned toward the door as Mrs. Osgood entered, and when she inquired what right he had in her room, he replied he did not know. The courageous woman displayed a great amount of nerve, and grabbed the intruder by the" shoulders as he attempted to brush by her and get out of the door. She forced him to remain in the room and shut the door. He Made Restitution.

After locking the door she commanded him to put everything he had taken from the drawers in them. The 'young man was quick to obey and begged her not to tell the police. He emptied his pockets, and Mrs. Osgood found he had not been in the room long, i as he had only taken some car tickets and change. If she had not discovered him In time, he would in all probability have taken the other valuables in the drawers.

After airs. Osgood had seen he had nothing more, she compelled him to turn his pockets inside out, which he did most willingly, begging all the while that he be let off, as it was his first offense. He told a hard luck story, and proved to be quite a glib-tongued individual, and succeeded in playing upon thn sympathies of Mrs. Osgood. After making sure there was nothing missing, Mrs.

Osgood allowed the man to go free, warning him that he had better stay away trom Ihe house in the future. Police Were Informed. "When her husband Teturned she told him of what had happened, and be decided to Inform the police of the matter. Bicycle Policeman Simpson, of the First precinct, was notified of the attempt to rob the house. He secured the details of the affair, and after getting as much of a description of the would-be robber as Mrs.

Osgood could give, he investigated the but no arrest has as yet been made. A colored man about twenty-one years old, whose Intentions are not the best in the world, is canvassing the western part of this city, and is either looking over the coalbins or the pantries of the residents living in that vicinity. He made several visits to the various houses in which he thought he could make a haul, but so far as the police can ascertain he has not succeeded in lifting anything valuable yet. The man has picked out the territory lying between Seventeenth and Twenty-fifth Streets and and Streets uorth- sjrest (o do his work in, and consequently the police have received several complaints about his unceremonious visits. Tried Detective's House.

Yesterday morning he went to the home of Detective Samuel Hurrows, at Twenty-fifth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue northwest, and rapped on the back door. The big, sturdy detective answered the knock and when the negro saw him he was taken aback, and stammered out. "Do Daisy Johnson work here?" He was informed that tho 'woman did not. and stated apologetically that he had been told that slie was employed there in the capacity of a cook. He left the house and disappeared around a corner.

Had no ono answered tho knock on the door the negro doubtless would have entered and helped himself to some of Mr. Burrows' coal, which is stored in the cellar. Finding he was confronted liy a man, he used the old gag of inquiring for some one whom he was quite positive. did not work there. About 1 o'clsck in the afternoon the same negro was discovered in a room in one of tho flats at 1S12 Street northwest, but was frightened off before he -could secure any booty.

He knocked on the door and inquired for the Johnson girl and, it was thought, went away, but he did not. He lingered in the yard until the door was closed, and then went back and entered' the house. The police are investigating these attempted robberies, and hope to bring the marauders to justice before long. They have the same trouble every year Just about this "lime, when there is a wintry chill in the atmosphere and the thieves find It cheaper to steal than work. Mr.

Young Gets a Cane. During his recent trip to Europe Justice Barnard, of the Supreme Court of the District, visited Waterloo battlefield. Among the souvenirs he brought back was a walking stick cut from a tree on the battlefield. This he presented to Mr. John R.

The First Comes From the Last. When proper food is used in sickness the recovery is much moro rapid and sure, and a food that is good and easy of digestion is right for anyone. Mrs. H. L.

Gordon, of Corry, was taken down with nervous prostration and heart trouble about a year ago and for weeks It seemed that she could not live. She says: "The medicine I took for my nerves and heart Injured my stomach and I grew steadily worse until I could retain nothing. For weeks I was kepi alive on ono tcaspoonful of beef tea and one of lime water every hour, and after a while I could not even continue thnt. I grew weaker and weaker and finally was compelled to use sweet oil to feed the bowels, until one day my daughter suggested that I try Grape-Nuts dry, as I could not ietaln anything moistened. After the third day I began to steadily mend, and for weeks and months I ate them three times a day.

"When I began eating Grape-Nuts I weighed 73 pounds; now I weigh 110 and am doing my housework and eating nearly any and everything. I tell everyone I hear complain of poor stomach to try Grape-Nuts, and many have on the strength of my cure." DAVIS CHILD MUST REMAIN IN DISTRICT Tiistire Barnard So uraeis That Father Be Permitted to See His Son When He Chooses. Justice Barnard yesterday signed an order prohibiting Mrs. Lucy Catherine Davis, the divorced wife of Frank F. Davis, from removing their six-year-old child from the District.

The order also stipulates that the child, Mcsser Davis, shall not be restrained from visiting his father when he chooses. This order will remain in force until the suit brought by Mr. Davis to recover tho possession of his children is finally settled. According to the statement made by Mr. Davis In his petition, Mrs.

Davis secured a divorce from' him in the State courts of Kansas about a year ago. This divorce, he contends, is not valid, because his wife was not a legal resident of the State when she instituted the proceedings. Further than this he says Messer's mother allows him to run wild and unkempt in the streets. Mrs. Davis rests her claim to the care and custody of the child on her decree of divorce, "and denies the charge made by her former husband that the child is not properly cared for by her.

The questlpns Involved were recently argued before Justice Barnard by Attorneys D. W. Olassie and T. L. Jones for Mr.

Davis, and Mr. William M. Lewin, counsel for the defendant. The order of the court also prohibits Mrs. Davis from refusing the child permission to visit his father.
