WOUNDED BURGLAR
LEAVES POOLS OF BLOOD
BEHIND.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
HASTINGS, This Day. A mysterious affair is occupying the attention of the police. When the employees of Sutherland's drapery establishment arrived at the shop this morning, they found pools of blood around the back with the window of the lavatory broken and much more blood inside. A trail led up the street for about fifty yards, Where apparently the would-be burglar was able to staunch the flow of blood or else was picked up by a motorist. From appearances, the would-be burglar must have broken the glass in the lavatory window and crawled through. He found the door locked, and, evidently in getting back gashed himself considerably. The police have the matter in hand.
