Holds Up a Burglar With a New York, Jan. 2.—Awakened early this morning by the clicking of a key in the front door of her apartment, Miss Bertha Miller, architect, crept noiselessly from her bed, drew a shining object from a buffet drawer and waited.
A man came through the door. He felt something press against his ribs and heard an order, Behave now. Keep your hands up and sit down in that chair."". He obeyed.
Miss Miller called her sister, who opened a window and blew a police whistle.
Police came.
Miss Miller sighed, sank in a chair and tossed a silver spoon on the table.
The man, who said he Michael Amio, of was Dansville, N. was held in $2,500 bail on a technical charge of burglary.
At breakfast time Miss Miller called at the police station, requesting to buy food for the prisoner.
"T want him to be given the best of treatment," she said.
But Amio partook of gaol fare.—Washington Post."
