burglars went through the first four
floors of the city hall. Several nights
later they returned and finished the two
upper floors. Among the offices entered
are those Of Criminal Judge Wallber,
Clerk of the Criminal Court Woller and
the police commissioners. In the latter
office police records were strewn about
the floor. All they secured was some
loose change and a large quantity of
postage stamps. Many down town
office buildings have also been entered
by the same thieves.
