WHOLESALE STEALING,

Silver Thieves in st. Louis Detected and
Captursd-'Twas Profitable While 1t
l.asted-The Cramer Dry Plate Co. the
Vietims-six Thousand Dollars Worth
Carried Away Within Three Years.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. l0.-A systematic rob-
berry by which the Cramer Dry Plate
Co. Of this city In the last three years

been revealed through the arrest Of
Anthony Weiss alias Dehm, Julian
Miller. alias Warth, and Nicholas
Schmidt on a charge Of larceny. Other
arrest may follow.
About month ago the members Of
the dry plate company discovered that
they were being robbed almost daily
Investiga tons led to the arrest OF John
Under and another man. 1t was
claimed that they had been robbing
the concern on small scale. But
after their arrest the robbing contin-
ned on. On the night of the last Of
December a lot of silver. valued at
1910. was stolen. Linder knew
nothin of that theft. but furnished
information which led to the forming
of the opinion that there was an or
ganized gang of which Weiss, who had
formerly been in the employ of the firm,
was the head. He was arrested late
Saturday afternoon. At his home was
found lot Of the stolen silver valued
at $500. He confessed.
In his confession Weiss stated that
the steal had been going on for over
three years. Schmidt, who also worked
for the concern, was the originator.
He obtained duplicate keys to the fac
tory and almost nightly he visited the
place and took possession of what sill
yer had been left lying about by care.
less workmen. The silver was turned
over to Weiss, and he in turn gave it to
Miller.
Miller, before he came to this coun.
try. was a chemist in Germany. He
fitted up a laboratory in room above
his saloon, to which he, Weiss and
Schmidt were the only ones having &C.
cess. The silver when turned over to
him would be melted and then convert
ed into marketable bars. The firm Of
Firton Bros, OF this city, purchased
most of the metal, Miller and
Weiss selling it to them under the alias
OF Warth and Dehm respectively.
