A Youth Emulates Frank Carey but is Speedily Rounded Up and on Promising to Reform Is Told to Go and Sin Ko BJore. The fact so often commented upon in police circles, that criminals as a class lack the intelligence necessary to origi- nate a scheme of crime and therefore imitate the exploits of some abler crook, received a fresh illustration here last week. On Wednesday morning, when G-ro- ceryman Ed. Aldrich opened his store, he found that it had been burgled dur- ing the proceeding night. The change drawer, which had contained between four and five dollars in quarters, dimes and nickles, had, been opened by some- one familiar with the combination and about four dollars of the contents was missing. Some cigars had also been confiscated from a show case near the till. The burglar had gained an en- trance by smashing out a light of glass in one' o f the back windows. There were no foot prints to be seen under the win- dow nor dues o f any kind 'to guide the officers in their search fo r the crimi- nal. v The peculiar feature of the affair was the remarkable similarity between the methods pursued by Tuesday night's burglar and Frank Carey, who is nowi doing time at Elmira Reformatory fo r going through the same store a little over a year ago. Carey entered by breaking out a light o f glass in a rear window, robbed the till of about the same amount o f change and helped himself to tobacco, etc., from the show^ case. His recent imitator had followed his example faithfully, except that he had avoided Carey's fatal mistake—he left no overcoat button near the till, as Carey did, to lead to his apprehension.
