A very bold robbery was committed
early yesterday morning when some thief
or thieves entered the dwelling house Of
Mr. William Carroll. at the corner Of
Eleventh and Perry streets. and stole Mr.
CAROLS coat. pants. and vest from o
chair near his bed. In the pockets OF the
vest was fine gold watch and leather
pocket-book containing O small amount OF
currency.
Mr. Carroll knew nothing of the robbery
until he was awakened by his wife, VINO
asked him where were his clothes. 1t
seems that Dir. Carroll went over TO tue
convention Thursday night and returned
home between II aud IL O'clock. Inc
front door was left unlocked so that he
could cutter the house without disturbing
tho inmates. On entering the house Mr..
Carroll failed to lock the door.
COW BE GOT THE CLOTHES
The superstition is that about daylight
the thief got IN MS work, as there was no
light IN Mr.. Csrrolps room and he could
not have seen how TO get the clothes. and
there was no evidence of light having
been made. The thief left the house with
the clothes. and after rifiing the pockets
of the watch and pocket-book threw the
coat and pants III the porch OF negro
named Edward jackson, who lives two
doors from Mr. Carroll. Going little
further up Perry street the vest was hung
upon yard gate. The empty pocket-DoOk
