BURGLARIES THAT EXTENDED OVER TWO YEARS. BOWMAN'S BELATED DISCOVERY Donuis SUttery 'Was His Silent Partuor, as it Wore Three Wagon Loads of Stolon Goods Recovered. " AD bombs explode In tncir lreusos or somo liko sudden shock been given the pcoplo of town yesterday tliey would not havo been moro .surprised than they were by tho dis covery raado by Harry Bowuian, the grocer, and tho subsequent dcvclapmcnts. M. Bowman succeeded in clearing up what lias been to Ulm a mystery for about two years and a half and tho residents-!' South Jardtn street arc staggered by tho announcement that one of their most quiet and, apparently, best ncighborshira been rournjlttinghurglarics time and rgaiu during that period. Tho accused-Is Dennis SSuttory, eon of one of tho oldcBt and most respected 'business men of tho town. Allboash somewhat way ward d hls-early earner thero was uo one who could say a word against Dennis' life tho past four or five jeers, not up to tho time of yosterday'b discovery, so cleverly had he committed liis crimes and covered this tracks. .For abont two years and a half Grocer Bowman says ho has been working like a slave to try to make two ends meet. Ho worked-uight and day, but notwithstanding his diligent attendance to tho business, the fact that his kuowlotlgo of It is based upon a life experience, and the fact that he is by are means a spendthrift Mr. Bowrnaii found him self continually losing ground. Ho said last night-that tlio-i train had brought him totfio vergo-of failure oad he lias his household goods-offered forealo with thoi'dea of giving up ho6ckcepiug.anduoardtag.at a hotel with hi&wifo to save expenses. During alt the time Mr. -Bowman felt he was losing his grip on tha business he was partly conseievB-of tho causa, but could not locate-tho source. Ho found, day after lay, that-stock was missing from his storo and warehouse,' but could not ttraco them; and for-eome unknown reasons he did not invoko the aid of the law to solve the mystery. Hat in the beginning of this week Mr, Bowman's suspicions were -aroused and by a close watch upon his goods and a little detective business he eventually succeeded in clearing up tho mystery. Mr. Bowman resides on Jardln street, about two squares from the store. Tho dwelling apartments over the latter .place havo been vacant for a short time. -When the grocer went to his store Tuesday morning heonissed a quantity of goods whieh he had put in a partloular place the night beforo. Mr. Bowrnaa re mained in tho store, with .his friend, Gert. Clauser, all of Haeeday night. That night uono visited the store, mt at an early hour inie morning a noiso was hoard.iu the yard. "They are coming," said Mr. Jiowman, and he and his companion bid behind dfoxos and barrels with the ninzzlos of two revolvers pointed at the-rear door of tho store, bnt no one opened it and that night's watch wont for nothing. Wednesday night Messrs. Bowman and Clauser again remained In the store. At five o'clock yesterday morning they concluded to go home. .No burglars had visited the place. When tho two men were walking towards Air. Bowman's home they met Dennis Slat tery, who wa carrying a large burlap bag on his arm. Slattery said io was going for doctor, as his wife was sick. Slattery livos on South Jardln street and when met was going in the direction of Bowman's store. Bowman and Clauser watched Slattery and in a few minutes saw him walk out of a passage way that leads to the rear of tho grocery with a box of cheese on his shoulder. Yesterday afternoon Bowman sworo out a warrant for Slattern's arrest and it was given to Constablo Dando for execution. While the constablo and Slattery were standing in front of the senior Slattery's store tho pris oner skipped up the long flight of steps leading to the photograph gallery. Blattciy got Into the cobbling shop at tho reir of hit father's store and threw into a neighboring yard a quantity of goods ho had secreted thero. ' Tho object was to prevent any of the stolen goods bolng found on the tether's prem ises. Meanwhile Constablo Dando w; a making his way through Bowman's store to get to the rear and into the place where Slattery was, but beforo he could get there tho latter had all tho goods thrown our, descended from tho cobbling shop to a neighboring yard, and then by climbing" over fences reached Pear alley and dashed northward like a deer, with the constable and a crowd of boys iu pursilt. Dando cried "Halt !" several times. but Slattery continued up tho alley at a sprinter's gait. Ho was lost to sight in the bushes on the Braudouvlllo road above tho Kehley Eun colliery. When Constable Dando returned to the Justice's office It was decided to havo Slat tery's houso searched. Constable Bolaud was givon this warrant. When opening the door Mrs. Slattery tried to prevent Bolaud from entoring, but the latter forced his way in iu spite of the woman's remonstrances that 'you are no gentleman or you would not force yourself into a house in this manner." Boland sold gallanlry was not in order aud ho produced,liJa search warrant. A search of ! the house from top to bottom revealed hun- f dreds of dollars worth of goods that had ! i been stolen from Bowman nnd embraced ovory artlele Imaginable in the grocery line. After Boland had made the search Mrs. Slattory begged him to go away and offered him fifty dollars to say ho found nothing in the houso. Boland declined tho oner and took Mrs. Slattory to 'Squlro Williams offioo. Upon Constable Bolatid's lcport Grocer Bowman sent his wagon for tho goods that had been found. Tho magnitude of the haul can bo measured by tho fact that tho wjgou mado three trips between tho Slattery house aud Bowman's Btoro. It would bo Impossible to cuumerato tho haul. Thero are a very few items: 10 pounds of coffee, 27 pounds of tea, 277 pounds of flour, 52 pound-packages of starch and corn starch, 101 pounds of hard tobacco, 81 pound-packages of soft tobacco, 3 Iroxca of clothes pins, 85 different kinds of canned goods and 500 papor bags. Tho list of articles recovered fills four legal cap shoets of paper, but Bowman says tho recovery is far from complete. Justl:o Williams concluded to hold Mrs. Slattery under bail, on the presumption that sho had knowledge of tho robberies. The woman declared that sho was entirely Inno cont of any of her husband's transactions. At about 1) o'clock last evening, whllo Mr. Williams was having a hearing, word was received that Slattory was at his home. G'onstablo Bokind ' and Dando went to the house. Dando went to tho flout aud tho former to tho rear oif the houso. Bolaud found Slattery shivering behind the door iu tho wator closet. Slattery had neither coat, vost, hat or shoes on, and ou account of the tioublo ho had causid In tho afternoou by Tunning away the officers refused to allow him to enter tho houso to put ou the things, They wero sent for after tha delivery of tho prisoner at the 'suuiro s ofhee. Slatlery was very cool. Ho was told of tho charges aud pleaded guilty at once. He said ho got into the stoio through a doorway that spoiled ou a porch on the second story at tbC'Kar, HeiJso claimed that the door wan also open when ho made his visits and ad mitted robbing ttio warehouses iu tho yard frequently, but-denied flint at any time he had used keys. Mr. Bowman di-clarod that the warehouses were looked every night. Tho grocer became very inuoli excited and said Two thousand dollars will not cover my losses. Hero I havo been struggling for two years and a half anil jjelng back everyday until I am almost rutntd." "There is no occasio for all this farco. "clquire," saidShittery. "This is unnecessary. Justice Williams fired $1,000 tail for Slattery and 1(500 for his wife, which was offered by John Slattory, brother oftheac cased, but the Justice found upon referring to tho District Attorney's printed orders that bail could not be taken for Slattery, as he was eharged with night burglary. Tho brothor then refused to furnish bail for the wife This, it is said, was due to family difficulties. Slattery spent the night In tho lockup aud tho wife aud her sun stayed at Constable Boland's house. Constable Behind says ho also found Slattery's house about 1,000 pairs of boots, shoes aud uppers aud largo quiutities leather and other materials uacd In making shoes. This stock ia supposed to beloug to the senior Slattery, but thus far he has declined to take any steps to provoownership or to prosecute. Ho also declined to ltok tor bail for his son, or tho wife. Ibis case is one of the greatest of sur prises to the people. Although Dennis Slat tery had been wild In his time, thero was not one who believed ho would beconio a burglar. Some of his friends say he must be kleptomaniac, while others express . the opinion that he was encouragod in his work by his wife. This latter theory is no doubt based upou the inability of those who hold to it to forget tho wife's former life. About five years ago Slattery's wildnesa lod him to become a patron of tho fast houses in Pcttsvillo. During this career he met and became infatuated with a woman at placo -called the "Flower Garden." This woman was AnnioJckus aud left her homo in Danville to lead tho lifo at I'ottsville. Slattery's visits to tho woman hecamo fre quent aud ho lavished money upon her. Finally Slaticry took the woman to Blngtown and supported her thero until his funds com menccd to run low, when tho woman, still under the "protection" of Mattery, came to town and entered the then notorious Max well house. Subsequently Slattery married the woman aud they have since been living together in a handsomely furnished house on South Jardin street, where the stolen goods were found. Notwithstanding the previous career of Mrs. Slattery and the fact that friends of Dennis lay his downfall at her door, theieare many who speak well of her, so far as her married life is concerned. It is said the couple led a happy life and the influence of the wife has been such that since their marriage she has induced Slattery to abandon all his former reckless habits. Through her influence, it is claimed, the husband has become strictly temperate and lias given up the use of tobacco in all forma. Still t all this Slattery's friends say, "But she did not stop the burglaries." One tho other hand, the woman says sho knew nothing of them. Slattery was employed in the cobbling shop conncoted with his fvther's store and it Is said he made good wages. It was stated last night that Slattery has re peatedly expressed anxiety to go to Blue field, West Virginia, and embark in some business and it is believed that the burglaries was a part of a systematic plan for a start. Denni6 Slattery nnd his wife wero taken to the I'ottsville jail this morning, after several ineffectual efforts were made to secure bail for the latter.
