Accordingly he set a special watchman to see how it was done, and who did it. Deputy Marshall Brookman Scott was the watchman, and on last Friday night he saw a man enter the wareroom. He followed and after a hand scuffle in which he was considerably scratched, and after inflicting a flesh wound upon his antagonist, he captured a man who proved to be Thomas Davis, a plasterer and citizen of Cambridge, who had always before owned the reputation of an honest, industrious man.
