Alleged Burglary.
Adolphe Sander, who at one time kept a large grocery store in Little Collins street east, and who, some three years since, received a sentence for setting his premises on fire, was brought before the City Court this afternoon, charged with stealing a quantity of jewellery, valued at £80, from the shop of Aaron Davis, of Russell street", on the night of the 15th March last. Recently Detectives Hayes, Williams, and Foster recovered about £35 worth of the stolen jewellery from several pawnbrokers, and also from a dealer travelling in the Western district, named Kisner. The sale of the stolen property was clearly traced to the prisoner, as being the person who disposed of it two days after the robbery occurred. The detective officers deserve credit for the astute manner in which they recovered the property. The case had not been concluded at the time The Herald went to press. There are other charges of equally as grave a character pending against the accused.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
A TIMELY RESCUE.
A desperate attempt was made by a man named Adolph Sander, describing himself as a baker, 44 years of age, to commit suicide yesterday afternoon. Sander, who resides at the corner of Pleasant and Wills street, is a married man and has three children. At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon he went into an unoccupied room in his residence and climbed through the manhole in the ceiling. His mode of procedure was ingenious. Taking a clothes' line with him he made one end fast to a rafter in the roof, and tied the other end round his neck with a slip, knot. A boarder in the house named J. Roberts at this stage happened to hear a peculiar noise above the ceiling, and went into the room to ascertain the cause. To his consternation he saw the accused slipping down through the manhole with the rope round his neck. The rope had already tightened, and in another second or two all would have been over with Sander, but Roberts sprang forward and managed to cut the rope in time to save the life of the desperate man. When the rope was taken from him, he was almost unconscious, and one of the children, who happened to be near at hand, was sent for a doctor, but not being able to find one, went to Mr H. Finde, chemist, and reported the case to him. Mr Finde at once informed Constable Tolmie, who was in the vicinity. The constable immediately went to the house and arrested Sander on a charge of attempting to commit suicide. The accused was taken to the Town watchhouse in a cab and locked up. lie seemed to be in possession of his senses, but was very reluctant to answer questions, and appeared to be suffering from headache.

He would give no reason for his rash act, only remarking that if he had succeeded in putting an end to his life a great many of his acquaintances would not have been overwhelmed with grief. It was subsequently ascertained that the accused gained his living by selling hot pies in the street, and he occasionally obtained work at his trade. He will be carefully watched while in the lockup, to guard against any further attempt at self-destruction

The patients were the three children of Adolph Sander,. and, although their home is described by the city inspector as disgracefully dilapidated and unfit for human habitation, Sander, who is a baker, earns his living therein by the manufacture of muffins and crumpets, which have been regularly consumed throughout the district.

BRAWL.
AN OPEN VERDICT RETURNED.
The inquest concerning the death, of Adolph Sander, 65 years of age, which, occurred at Bendigo on October 7, was held on Saturday. Evidence was given that the and a young man named Came from were engaged in a brawl outside the Blue Bell Hotel after drinking inside, and that Cameron struck Sander, knocking him down. He was insensible for a while, but came round. Cameron went home, but Sander returned, and got into another disturbance. On the following morning his body was found against a brick wall next to the hotel.

Dr Williams said that death was due to fracture of the base of the skull and laceration of the brain. Mr E. X. Moore. P.M., coroner, said there was undoubted evidence that Sander had fallen from a blow from Cameron, and had it not been for the way in which the body had been found, and some doubt in the evidence, he would have had no option but to send Cameron for trial on a charge of manslaughter. It was disgraceful that a lad like him, only twenty years of age, should, have been, in one of the lowest hotels in Bendigo. He found that the deceased died from injuries described by Dr Williams, but there was no evidence as to how he came by them.

OLD MAN'S DEATH.
A SORDID STORY.
BENDIGO, Sunday -An inquest was held on Saturday afternoon by Mr K N Moore, P.M., concerning; the death of Adolph Sander whose body had been found lying at the rear of an ununtenanted shop in High street Alvina Sander, domestic servant, said her father was drinking at the Blue Bell Hotel, High street, on Saturday evening October 7 and was followed out of the hotel by a man named "Malvern" Cameron An argument ensued and she heard a fall. She saw Cameron standing beside her father and she said, "Did you hit my father" and he replied, "What if I did?"
He then made a blow at her Dr Williams said that death was due to a fracture of the base of the skull and laceration of the brain. From the position in which the body was found it was possible that the fracture was caused by the deceased falling against the building Malvern Angus Cameron aged 20 years a wood carter residing at Ironbark said that Sander followed him out of the hotel and used filthy expressions toward him They both put up their hands and he struck Sander who fell on the footpath The young woman Sander came out of the hotel and hit him (witness) across the face He carried Sander into the piano room and rubbed his face, as he thought he was only "out" for a while, and would come round again

Mr Moore P.M. said that there was no doubt that Sander fell once from a blow received from Cameron. Cameron had gone to one of the lowest public houses in Bendigo. He ought to be ashamed of himself for having been there and he could not say whether he was the cause of the death of a man old enough to be his grandfather. Had it not been for the way in which the body was found it would have been his duty to send Cameron for trial on a charge of manslaughter. But
there was not sufficient evidence to warrant that course. He found that death was due to a fracture of the skull and laceration of the brain the result of a fall but he was unable to say how he received the injuries from which he died.
