groes with Poultry Just Stolen.
Alb ut one week ago Officer Marques
learned that two negroes had / lats teen
selling large numbers u chickens ia
Second str,e market. he got the deserip.
ton OF q man who hsd been setting
chickens In the market for two years aud
who bad Just disposed Of 81 fowls. The
description answered 10 that OF George
Robinson, suspected negro, and the
0ficer at once began Watching him.
Choosing early Tuesday morning for
action, the officer left police station shortly
after ] O'Clock, =. M, In company with
Policeman Wright, and went to
Seventh and dupont streets, which
Is In the vicinity Of Robinson's house.
Here they stayed on watch until nearly
O'Clock when Officer Marques saw q
man crossing from the direction Of the
Union line depot. He passed within q
dozen yards Of the officers but II was 80
dark that only an outline Of his
figure could be seen. In q few
seconds, however, the person
mounted the steps Of the house and
pushed open the door. A dim light inside
enabled Msrqness to see II was Robinson
and that he had bag. He rushed for
ward and the dsrkey, hearing him,
slammed the door, but the officer reached
1t just In time to keep him from boiling
1t and rushed In on him. He was taken
In cdstody with the bag and brought to
police station by Officer Marques, while
Officer Wright was left to guard the house
aud aprrehend any other thief who
might enter.
When Robinson's bag WAS emptied at
police station II contained 81 chickens
and two guinea hens. A revolver was
also found on his person and he Acknowl-
edged that he stole the fowls from R.
Lewis Armstrong, ex-sheritf Of New
Castle county, who lives on the Lancaster
pike beyond tine city limits. Shortly
before a O'Clock oin,er Wright arrived At
police station with John Nicholson,
oolored. He also had bag, and II con.
tAined nine chickens and one turkey,
making total Of 80 chickens, two
guinea hens and . turkey. Nicholson
was also going to Robirson's house when
arrested.
The men were arraigned before Jud Se
Cummins Tuesday morning and each held
In $500 bail for court on the charge OF lar.
cry, and Robinson was held In 5000
additional bail 10 answer the charge Of
carrying concealed deadly weapons. A
Jimmy was found on Nicholto on.
officer Marques visited Robinson's
house Tuesday and found 1t nearly
full Of feathers. Many pounds were
lying on the floor wet as though they had
very recently been picked. Nsighbors
told the officers that nearly every day
the men burned large quantities Of
feathers. 1t seems that they have been
making regular business Of stealing
chickens and selling them in the mar
kets. It is stated OF late they have baen
using horse aud cart 10 peddle their
stolsn fowls, and they are undoubtedly
the thieves who during the past month
have stolen fuoh large numbers Of
chickens in the Forty borss aud High
lands.
