BURGLAR PERPLEXED.
FISH SHOP TOO INTRICATE Could Not Work A Sliding Door. ■•»' -50 NOTHING STOLEN. 1 Burgling a fish shop proved tod intricate a business for a midnight marauder whq broke into a fishmonger's dining-room in Broadway recently. ! He made his way into the kitchen! at the rear of the building by breaking a window-pane and reaching through it to unlatch the door. The sliding door between the kitchen and the dining-room was not locked, but the shopbreaker apparently failed to discover how it operated, for he went to the trouble of forcing open a small service slide at one side of the door and presumably he crawled through, that. From the fact that the key which! opens the cash register was found pressed half-way down, it is deduced that when he started to open thai machine he remembered that in doing so he would cause a bell to ring, and deciding that the risk was too great, crawled back through the slide —no richer than he crawled in.
