near Toledo, o., upon opening the package
which he had taken from Andrews safe,
discovered that six rings, valued at $1,1OO,
were missing. He returned to Chicago
Immediately, and reported the matter to
the detectives, who are, however, unable to
render the gentleman any material aid.
The peculiarities of the case are such that
it would be difficult to prove that theft
had been committed, and yet the gentle
man is positive that he did not remove the
rings himself.
CROOKED BURGLARY.
CHICAGO, April 12.-This morning John
Morrison, carriage maker, confessed
judgment for $4,000 in favor of his
brother. at about noon it was reported to
the police that his safe had been robbed
during the night of over $1,000 in cash.
His story is to the effect that he took the
money out Of the bank a short time ago,
and put it in his own safe, and has since
kept all his cash there. The alleged rob-
berry was discovered when the store was
opened this morning. The outer doors of
the safe were securely locked and the only
damage discernible was to the inner
drawers. The detectives, after investigat-
ing the matter, express an opinion that it
was not case of burglary. Morrison,
being interviewed, admits he has a number
of notes falling due in short time, but
denies he robbed himself.
