WHOLESALE ROBBERY OF CHICAGO SHOE STORE
The Chicago Times states that late Friday
night 1t was learned that the wholesale boot
and shoe house OF Phelps Dodge & Palmer had for
ten months past been systematically robbed
OF some $50 600 to $4,000. possibly more by some
or their travelling statesmen In collision with
others OF their most trusted employees. The
plan pursued was for statesmen to send In from
new towns In the west fictitious orders
from imaginary firms, or from those which
had dissolved partnership. Double orders would
then be shipped, the duplicates being taken I'D by
the travelling statesmen and the rest returned to
the Chicago firm. The greed and holiness of the
eonfederates excited suspicion and an investlga-
ton followed, which is said TO have unearthed the
fact that upwards or dozen men were In the con-
spfracy. One OF them, G. u. Welles, is said to
have been arrested. The whole affair has been
very quietly conducted and the policy OF silence
has been adopted by the members of the firm.
