MASPETH, N. Y.

A possibility that a third "pants" burglar is operating in the Jack­son Heights, Elmhurst and Win-field sections was seen by the police of the Newtown precinct.

With the capture of Henry Dodd, a negro, police believed that they had apprehended the second bur­glar who has been robbing scores of homes in the Second Ward..

In his alleged confession, how­ever, the police say, a large num­ber of the dwellings entered were omitted, although, according to the police, Dodd confessed to having entered about thir ty other homes.

In .the confession, alleged to have been made by Max Schatz, the first to be apprehended as the "pants" burglar, he also admitted to a num­ber of. burglaries. The two con­fessions, however, leave a large number of "house jobs" unaccount­ed for.

Dodd will be arraigned in the Flushing Magistrate's Court on charges of attempted burglary. Al­though a t first he refused to give a Manhattan address, he later told the police he lived.in St. Nicholas avenue, Manhattan. Searching the apartment, • the police say, they found thir ty suits ^and a large amount of jewelry.

Sailor - Husband Is Reported Missing

By Elm. Woman

John ' Radoslovich, twenty-two 55-27 Junction Boulevard, Elm­hurst, first mate on a New York Central tug-boat, is reported miss­ing by his young wife, Dorothy, eighteen.

Radoslovich failed to return home from work Tuesday evening and inquiries among the crew of the tug reveal that he was last seen on the deck of his boat a t 1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Fears were expressed that he may have been overcome by the heat and fal­len overboard unobserved.

When last seen he was attired in a blue sweatshirt and blue dunga­rees. He wore no shoes or stock­ings. The young man is five feet four inches in height and has brown hair and blue eyes.

The wife and the boatman's mother, Mrs. Domenic Radoslovich, of 21-21 Twenty-third street, As­toria, are prostrated with anxiety..

Blazing away with their revol­vers a t a man who leaped the fence in the rear yard of an apartment house a t 02-62 Saunders street, Re­go Park, early Wednesday and started a dash for a waiting auto­mobile, after, it is alleged, he had attempted to enter a window of the ground floor of the apartment, Pa­trolman Wareham and Mott and Detective Louis Cornibert captured the fugitive a block away, hidden in the alleyway of another apart­ment house.

As the two patrolmen, accom­panied by Detective Cornibert, sur rounded: the rear courtyard of the apartment house, the man, a negro, hearing the sound of voices and footsteps, dashed toward the fence, clearing it by more than a foot.

Threatening to fire, the three officers gave chase and whipped out their revolvers. At Booth street the man turned and ran toward an automobile while the officers, fear­ing the negro would make a get­away, opened fire.

Cowed by the bullets', the negro scurried for shelter in an alley­way, imploring the police "not t© shoot."

Trapped by the officers, he sur­rendered, producing a large screw­driver, with a long, pointed edge, and a flashlight.

With the arrest of the man, des­cribing himself as Henry Dodd, twenty-nine, 562 Read avenue, At­lanta, Ga., police believe they have scotfe of- dwellings -inciter Jackson. Heights, Elmhurst and Winneldc

aprehended the second "pants bur­glar" who has been victimizing districts.

Authorities are attempting to link the prisoner with the $1,000 burglary in St, Patrick's rectory,

Long Island City, early Sundays-According to the police the prison­er may also be implicated in the four drug-store burglaries i n Jackson Heights early Sunday.

When arrested Dodd, who, the police say, has served terms in Sing Sing under the alias of Al­bert Smith and John Butler, re­fused to give his address in this city.

Head bandaged and suffering from bruises received when . he stumbled in the chase, the prisoner was taken to the line-up in Police Headquarters, Manhattan, Wednes day mornipg.

According to police records he has been arrested five times and has served four sentences on charges of burglary. At present, the police say, he is on parole, a ten-year prison sentence having been stayed.

The capture was made possible through the alertness of two Rego, Park women, Mrs. Guerny and Mrs. Madox of the Saunders street apartment house. <

Shortly after midnight the two women noticed the negro in the rear yard of the apartment. They watched his action for more than a half hour and then, confirmed in their suspicions, notified the police.

Desk Lieutenant Thomas Ward dispatched Patrolmen Wareham and Mott and Detective Cornibert , to the scene and the capture fol­lowed.

In several other instances in. . Jackson Heights and Elmhurst, thieves gained entrance to the apartment by ripping open the outer screens with a screwdriver. Police say that because of its sharp edges the tool could have been used as a weapon.
