YALE THEOLOGIAN

Who Hails From Ypsilanti Arrested For Stealing Books.

Prof. Day, of the Yale theological school, of New Haven, yesterday complained to the police that his copy of Martin Day's famous "Doomsday Book" had been stolen.

The book was printed in 1693, and only a few copies are in existence. It is one of the most valuable books in America.

Sergt. Daley, of the detective bureau, suggested that perhaps it might be found in the collection of stolen books found in the possession of Rev. Janus Brittain Miller, the Yale theological school student from Ypsilanti, Mich., who was arrested last month. A search revealed the precious volume lying in a pile of French novels on the floor of the police station.

Miller's trial began yesterday. He is charge with stealing 5,000 books.
