in New York. Mr.. Fisher arrived IN Ss
Louis last Sunday morning FROM chicago
with stock Of chains and thinning"
valued at Sl5.0OO. He s,opped st the
Planters House and was assigned room III,
the office Aoor near the Pine street side
This room and several Others in that portion
Ut the building are known a. sample rUoms,
and are used BY travelling men for display
irg their goods. Mr.. Fisher left his room
about 4 O'Clock Yesterday afternoon,
LOCKING THE DoOR
and taking the kew with hi0. He had
been showing his stock Of chains and trim
m'ngs to several st. Louis jewellers during
the day, and upon leaving the room, he left
the jewelry spread out over the table, very
little Of it being even wrapped up in o."-
| ton flannel wrappers in which articles Of
this kind are generally carried BY travel
ing men. He was absent from the room
ABoCr FORTY MINUTES
and when he returned he found that . set
OF folding doors connecting with an adj, PIN
ing room had been forced open and about
half his stock OF jewelry carried away.
We gathered up what was left, and depnsit-
I'd il in the Office safe, and then hurried OF
TO the Four Courts and notified the police
Of his loss. Detective Tucker wss sent
back to the hotel with him but NO clue to
the thieves could be obtained. The room
adjoining Mr.. Fishers room, and from
which his room had been entered, was &C.
cupied by
c. L. LINDSEY,
a New York drummer, whom the proprietors
Of the hotel have known for years and who's
character has always been above suspicion.
The outside door Of this room was lock i
when Mr.. Lindsey left the room and vas
found unlocked when Mr. Fisher discovered
his loss. II was evident that the thieves
had entered MI. Lindsey's room with key
Of their own, pried open the folding doors.
and stole the jewelry afterwards found mis-
sing. Why they did not take the entire
stock spread out before them il q mystery
to Mr.. Fisher. Mr.. De Fries, . jeweler on
North Fourth street, called at the hotel to
see Mr.. Fisher about half past four o'clock
and tried his door but found it locked. Il
may have been that the thieves were inside
at the time and
WERE FRIGHTENED AWAY
before they had gathered up all the jewelry.
Another evidence that they we're frightened
away before finishing their work was the
fact that number Of chairs we're found
scattered about the floor when Mr.. Fisher
returned to the room. An old newspaper
that had served as a wrapper for . photo
graph album was also carried Of, and in
all probability it was used BY the barglars
to wrap their plumber in. The bundle
would have been Of very convenient sine
to carry under the arm, and would not At
tract attention.
Nc one can be found in the hotel Who
saw any Strengthening man or men in
that part Of the hotel yesterday afternoon,
and no one was seen with bundle Of any
kind. Soon after the police received infor-
nation Of the robbery. Sergeant Chapman
and Detectives Tucker and ONeil visited
the Relay Depot in East St. Louis and went
through every outgoing train that passed
there last night. Nlhing WA found. how
ever, that looked in anyway suspicious 70
the experts.
The Union Depot, Main street depot and
Plum street depot were also watched, but
With no better result. The only thing
found suspicious was on the O. and N.
trains. No arrests were made, but . do
tective went out with the train and will
follow up the trail until he finds something
or nothing. The jewelry stolen il Of the
finest patterns, and most Of il IL fourteen
carat fine. The chains are valued at from
$40 to SO piece. Among the arucles
stolen we're q lot of fine
ROMAN GOLD NECKLACES
and numher Of lockets. One Of the cases
examined by the thieves, but left BY them,
number Of small boxes, each
filed With gold split rings for watch chains,
worth from 81 to s. . piece.
Sergeant Chapman pronounces the rob
berry the work Of experts, and b thinks
that two men did the job, . cracksman and
. piper.
