SMALL CLUES TO BIG CRIMES.
The recent .arrest of two at bouthamptom, due to the smartness of a constable who, in passing, noticed breath, marks on a jeweller's shop> -window, reminds me of other similar* tiny clues of the kind, says a correspondent of "Lloyd's News." Two years ago, for instance, a Mid-* dlosborough constable noticed a man enter a public house puffing a redbanded cigar. A number of cigars with, red bands had been stolen just previously in a series of daring burglaries. The policeman arrested the smoker on suspicion, and his suspicion proved to be well founded, for at the suspect 's lodgingse was found the remainder of the cigars, together with a lot of other stolen property.
