The Baltimore Police Make a Big
Capture.
George IL. Brown, a small farmer, who has
,aan for ahp1t opa vaar an aI
farm near Fork, Baltimore county, was arrest
I'd last Monday IN Baltimore and IS now in
he Central Police Station Of that city. He
lad, when arrested, a two-horse load of most
y new harness collars, brides, blankets,
saddles and everything of the best. He WAS
arrested through telegram sent to Marshal
Frey from Mr.. Richard Pearce, of Loeb Raven
and Mr.. Thos. McComas, of Rocks. The for
ner lost two sets of new buggy harness and
many other things, stripping his stable of al
host everything to use on his horses. Mr..
HcComas had his anvil and two bags of
lorseshoes stolen.
Many of the things found on Brown were
Identified in Baltimore by McComas and
Pearce as their property. To push the inyes
.igation search warrant was placed in the
hands of Deputy sheriff Burk, of Towson,
Baltimore county, who, with Mr.. McComas |
If Hartford, Pearce, of Baltimore county, and |
others, with three vehicles, went on Tuesday
o Browns house at Fork, where his wife, a
seemingly refined lady, and three little girls |
are now living.
The sheriil's posse found a most remark
lble state Of affairs in the house. They |
ound almost every imaginable form of
goods concealed. They loaded up
he vehicles and took all they could haul to
rowson. where the sheriff will adyerIisc for
hose who have lost things to come forward. |
Among the things found were wagon and |
carriage collars in great numbers all new.
several sets of buggy harness, new saddles, |
Ill kinds of wrenches, McComas' anvil, fine |
'ugs that had been stolen from the parlors of
he wealthy, two large dehorning machines,
boxes of triple-plated forks and celluloid-
handled knives, chalk, pencils and school fix |
ures showing his thefts to have included |
school houses-in short, every thing that could |
De found in a comfortable barn or house ex
,ept the family Bible which he seemed to |
hun. Among the plumber were great quanti- |
les of blankets stolen from horses at church. |
Stealing harness and robbing school houses |
las been going on from the Rocks to Towson.
Ilong the b. 81 l.. Railroad, and two or three |
niles north and south for several months.
Though suspicion in Browns neghborhood |
pointed to him, no clue could be had until |
Brown was arrested. The sheriff's party left |
large two-horse wagon load of things at
Browns house similar to those they took away. |
It is thought that Browns house is place of |
deposit for a gang, practicing their vocation
between York county and Baltimore.
Nothing was stolen for miles around or near |
Browns house. The work was done at dis |
ance, Brown using his two-hOrse wagon |
weekly, ostensiby to haul his butter from one
low to Baltimore, but going as he did, at |
night, he might have carried stolen goods. |
Brown and his wife are from Pennsylvania.
