A PELHAM MANOR BURGLAR CAPTURED.

____

Otto Schaeffer, alias Philip Barber, alias the “mouse” was arrested in New York City last Friday, by central office detectives Dorand and Tinker. He was taken before Magistrate Crane, and Judge Lyon was notified. Constable Lyon went down and brought the man up.

To Judge Lyon he made a complete confession and implicated a number of other well known criminals. He confessed to the Hagan school robbery last fall, Dr. Washburn’s burglary and the “Manor House.” Judge Lyon examined him at 11 a.m. Monday and held him for the Grand Jury.

He denies having taken part in the Bertino hold up, but acknowledges that it was members of his gang who did it.
