RAN NSS NY = DODDS MISTAKEN IDENTITY OFTEN ASSISTS ROGUES TO ESCAPE. Officers of the Law Frequently AGT low Rascals to Slip Through Their Fingers. Many of the mistakes of detec- tives are those of mistaken identity. Some time ago a man belonging to ohe of the best known and wealthi- est families in the country was greatly surprised and more indig- nant when he was arrested by a de- tective who thought he had captur- ¢d a criminal who. recently had es- caped from prison. Profuse ex- Planations on the part of the cap- tured man, says the Chicago Tri- bune, were followed by equally pro- fuse apologies on the part of the detective, so that the incident clos- cd without ill-will on either side. A mistake with a more tragic re- sult occurred in England in 1870. The-mistaké arose in connection with the famog" Edlingham burg- lary, when two men we ere brought before the Newcastle assizes charg- ed with the robbing of the vicar- age. It appears that when the i- cur 'nterrupted his unwelcome visi- tors they had shot at him, so that the charge of attemp ted. murder =a added to that of Tareinny. The wo men, Branaghan and Murphy, bs were charged with the crime, were convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment, as the evidence seemed to be convincing beyond the shadow of a doubt.

It was a suspicious proceeding, but as the man was dressed in the height of fashion the officer on the beat thought that it was the owner vf the house, who, having forgot- ten his key, had used the window as his means of entrance. However, the officer thought it best to watch the place for a while to sce if any- thing out of the way might occur. A short time later, emerging from the front door, the stranger stop- ped as if some one had spoken to him from within, and, saying, "Yes, Bess, I have my _ key this time," he lifted his hat and walked slowly away.

Sherlock Holmes constantly in- sisted that nothing in a room where u crime had been committed should be tonal, and this appears to be a good | rule, judging from a mis- take made by an intelligent police oficer in Ireland. This policeman was 'placed in charge of a room in which a murder had been commit- ted to see that nothing was disturb- eo until his superior officers arriv- ed. He found the time passed slow- ty amid such melancholy surround- ings and proceeded to console him- self with a pipe. He lit a candle which he found on the mantlepiece, and finding a crumpled- "up piece of paper on the floor, he used that for was afraid that his superi- ors would object to his smoking while on duty, he opened the win- cow in order to let out the smell of the tobacco and in order to see them when they approached, 50 that he could put his pipe out in time. Tt was Recovered later that in indulging in the innocent plea- sure of a pipe of "tobaccy" he de- stroyed three of the most import- ant clues The length of the candle which he had lighted would have indicated the time when the murder had been committed, the paper with which he had lighted his pipe, judging from the charred remains, had been left there by the murderer himself, and the policeman had forgotten whe- 'ther he had found the window lock- ed when he onened it to let out the smell of smoke.
