Article Text: About 10 o'clock, last night, a burglar forced an entrance into the tenement house at 76 Avenue A, and gaining admittance to the room of Mr. John SCHMIDT, stole $176 worth of clothing and jewelry. He succeeded in leaving the premises, and was in the act of climbing over the back-yard fence when detected by a woman named Barbara ZIMMER, who seized him by the leg and pulled him back into the yard, and succeeded in holding him until the arrival of assistance. He gave his name as Julius ACKERMAN. At the Essex Market Police Court, this morning, Judge SMITH held him in $2,000 bail to answer. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NY-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
