The University Police caught a burglar rifling a Lowell House room early Saturday morning after a search lasting several hours.
A phone call from B-entry alerted the Police who finally caught Joseph Mc-Hugh at 3 a.m. in Lowell E-43. When apprehended, McHugh was in the midst of ransacking a wallet in a student's desk.
Two of the three occupants of the room, James Lawrence, III '58 and Daniel E. Singer '58, were asleep in the ad-joining room when the arrest was made. They awakened to discover four policemen in their living room talking to a man the police identified as a burglar. The stranger at this point claimed he had been invited up by a third roommate, who was absent. When located, George D. Krumbhaar, Jr. '58, the absent roommate, disclaimed any knowledge of the visitor.
The Cambridge Police identified the burglar as the same Joseph McHugh who had previously received a two-year suspended sentence for a similar crime.
