A young man of W~atertown, n. y,
was married a day or two ago, and the
wedding feast brought out the fact that
he was a burglar. lie wore a pin that
was stolen and the table was set with
stolen silverware. AS a result of the
discovery, he went TO Canada on a bridal
tour, leaving his young wife behind.
1t seems strange that this young man,
who was popular in the community,
and whose bride also had a host OF
friends, should have been compelled to
resort to unlawful measures to obtain
s~ilverware and jewelry. According to
modern customs, a wedding is generally
more productive of results than any
other kind of robbery.
