Yale FBI Policeman Kills 'Townie' Burglar

A Yale campus policeman, patrolling the University Saturday night shot and killed a man from New Haven who was attempting to steal food from the Divinity School kitchen.

Apparently there had been a minor wave of food thefts during the past several weeks, and the policemen were alerted to watch the Divinity School carefully. The fatal bullet was preceded by warning shots--one to five, according to various accounts.

The episode, according to one source at Yale, represents the first such trouble the University has had since they hired FBI men to supervise the campus police after last winter's "Busy" case. The Yale Administration has taken no official action as yet.
