store on the corner Of Crozer ard Har-
dee streets, was at breakfast, leaving |
his agea fsther at the store, the cash |
drawer was robbed Of q bag OF silver,
IN dollars, halves, quarters, etc and
amounting to something over $3S.
Tue loss was not discovered I'LL
Mr.. George returned, when the
old man remembered that a little
white boy, some six or eight years
of age, s0n Of Sallis Mooffield,
who lived in shanty not far off, had
been in the ore. asking the price of
articles, but making no purchases.
The hoy was also seen going home,
with something under his arm. With
these suspicious circnmstances, Mr.
George procured the assistance OF the
police, and a search warrant, and
went to the house of ths Moorfelds.
The woman ct once told them that
she had pleLty OF money, as che al

| from breas!as had stopped at the
| ~oman'e house and collected 81 which
she owed him. IL the piie were three
pieces which he swore 10 as having
| bsen in his possession.

arrested and arra'gned before just ce

which would apperently account for
