STOLE TOO MUCH.
Quantity of JeweIry Stolen by H. E.
Heath in Massachusetts,.
Goods Found in Augusta in Hands Of limo.
cent Morris Chase

Herman E. Heath, alias James r. Nc
Newport, Vt, was arrested in
Northampton, Mass, Jan. 6. by In
spector of Police John H. Boyle OF
Springfield Mass. In his possession were
found 20 Boston & Maine mileage books
valued at 5000, and about $50 in postage
stamps, stolen from the railroad office in
Amherst, Mass, on the night Of Jan. ?.
Mccormack, as he gave his name be
ing a royal arch liar, told a beautiful
story of how he came in possession of the
books, but failed to convince the authori-
ties of his childish simplicity.
In his satchel was found an agreement
between W. 4. Wilcox Of Holyoke, Mass.
and Morris D. Chase of Augusta, Me. in
which it was set forth that the said Chase
was to sell for the said Wilcox certain
amount of jewelry, viz, 10 rings of gold
and silver, 80 watch charms, 9 ladies
chains and pairs Of opera glasses The
price made was ridiculously low, yet
Chase was to receive 20 per cent. commits
sion for disposing of the goods
This list tailed SO nearly with lot
taken from the store Of f. +. Leary Of
Springfield, Mass, on the ED of last De-
cember, that Inspector Doyle wrote City
Marshal Bean to look up the matter.
Officer Mcfarland located the jewelry
within au hour, it having been left at
the saloon of Andrew Latino on sale by
Chase who, being called on to explain
said the man was a total stranger; thaU
he claimed to be sick and was obliged TO
return to Holyokc, Mass, where Chase
could obtain more stock if successful IN
disposing of the present lot.
The officers found more than the VIII
cox-Chase agreement specified, whlch
Chase explains, was owing to the libera'-
ity of Wilcox, who seemed willing to get
rid of his goods without money and with
out price. Having closed his trade "i'n
Chase, Wilcox took the train for Portland
q week ago today.
Inspector John H. Boyle arrived IN
this city on the 2. As train, Monday. 1he
goods were readily identified, and MOTIFS
ID. Chase was exonerated from having n'o
any hand in the robbery, although at one
time matters looked Il little DUBIOUS ioi

There seems to have been quite al
