IDENTIFIED BY HEART BEAT.
A peculiar throb of the heart has led lo the identification of a man—arrested for attempted burglary—as the criminal who recently attacked and robbed Dr Henry Moeller, an aged physician, in his surgery at New York. Dr. Moeller is a well-known specialist, in heart diseases. A couple, or weeks ago a young man called on him while the physician was examining him with a stethoscope he knocked him senseless with a life preserver, robbed the office safe, and decamped. Yesterday a man was caught in the act of •breaking into a Hat. He seemed to answer the description of Dr. Moeler's assailant, and the physician was sent for. He thought he recognised the prisoner, but to satisfy himself borrowed a stethoscope from a police surgeon. "Me is beyond a doubt the man who attacked me," announcet the doctor, "lie has the same odd heart murmur and ircgular beat."
