Detective Skill. By a good piece of detective work Louis Sulzer has caught parties who have been systematically robbing his establishment on Mulberry street. Elijah Smith, white, works at the Sulzer Bros.' establishment. For several months small quantities of valuable roots have been missing. Several times Henry Finney, a colored lad sixteen years of age, who works at Cadwallader's gallery, had sold roots shortly after some were missed, and the suspicions of the firm were aroused. Again he came at noon today, and when confronted with the charge, confessed having sold stolen goods. He was immediately arrested and with his accomplice, Elijah Smith, is behind the bars.
