After retiring to bed in “the rear room” of his tailor shop, the deponent [Kalafian] was awoken by “a crash of glass,” and saw two men – the defendant [Leonard] and another unknown man - “running away.” They were pursued by a nearby police officer, who apprehended the defendant at 114th Street and Eighth Avenue. The second man “got away,” discarding a burglars' tool – “a piece of iron about 1 ft. wide and 1 inch wide” - in the process.
