ROBBERY OF SILVER AND GOLD MEDALS
most audacious robbery committed last night
the Daguerrean establishment Of Mr.. Root, No. 3o3
Broadway For few days past Mr.. r. has kept his
rooms open in the evening for the convenience OF
those who could rot examine his large collection Of
portraits by daylight aud during this time has kept
man on the watch at the door where there case
containing the medals awarded to him from year to
year, five lockets, &c. Last night the watchmsn
stepped up stairs for moment and during hs absence
rascals turned Oh the gas in the hall, tore open
the Gaze at the back grabbed the gold medal sevea
silver medals and three gold ockets, and made theiI
escape all unbclRownto the Police. The watchmsno on
coming from the above, supposed the gas had gone
out by accident but uponlghng it again discovered the
trick.
This lie the fourth time that Mr. Root has been made
Al
lars worth of property The medals especially val
liable to him. honorable testimonials Of the excellence
OF his workmanship A they can be OF comparatively
little value to the possessors, it is hoped that they
may get back TO Mr. r. rather than be melted up for
old gold and silver.
Mr. Root will sti continue to keep his premises open
in the evening and we hope the Filth Ward Police will
keep eye on the thieves who have such affection
for his goods Such occurrences ought be scarce In
Broadway, especially at such early hour In the
evening,
