THEY LIKED WHISKY.
Robbers Were Unwelcome Visitors
In an Acorn Street Store.
Sampled Goods and Carried off Cash and
Other Things.

year or more ago Giuseppe Miglisc-
clio, the Italian banker and grocer at 144
Acorn street, had the misfortune to have
one of his fellow countrymen steal his
wife, portion of his stock of groceries
and some money. Last night some one
broke into his store and stole SO In
cash. lot of cigars, cheese. oil and
whisky. An entrance was effected by
pulling off an iron hinge from door In
the rear.
Mr.. Migiiaccio is of the opinion that
whoever committed the robbery was an
Italian and one who knew just where to
find whit he wanted, because the whis-
ky was supposed to have been secreted
in private box. Ii was found and on
the counter were two glasses, indicating
that thero were two who liked whiskey.
Ii is the custom Of the proprietor OF
the store to take all cash from the money
drawer at night, but last night he
neglected TO observe the usual progra m,
somewhat to his cost.
Detectives Cannon and Nickerson are
looking into the matter.
