THIS CRIMINAL CURIOSITY.
Bob Armstrong Tells the Story of His Pen
itentiary Exploits.

There IS confined at the police barracks
a negro burglar VINO IS regarded as sort
OF criminal curiosity. In the possession
Of the city detectives are NUMBER or
fine gold watches which nave been re-
covered which are directly traceable 10
this burglar. who insists on having Il
correct list OF the articles, ana When TOTO
of what had been recovered ne chtcks OH

but becomes enraged when other Stolen
goods are laid at his door; and the queer
est part Of the story Is that he gets mao
AT the false charges because they reject
upon his adeptness and sdgacity as
prot e5sional burglar.
The burglar Is BOB Armstrong, ana ne
already has a very noted career IN GRIM
NAL circles. mere IS evidence enough IN
the possession Of the detectives 10 convict
him Of seven burElaries in Atlanta. two
in Marietta and one In Dalton.
Among the stolen watches which have
been recovered there Is one very me goa
ttmepfece which was taken from the res
idence OF Mr.. r. +. Hardwicke. the bank

Armstrong was recently convicted OF
burglary in Atlanta. and was being taken
TO the penitentiary by city ofncer when
he escaped from the train. few days
ago he was caught in Marietta, ana Il
now in the police barracks lie commit
ted a burglary In Marietta Wnlle holuIhs
out from the officers.
Since the negro's first arrest and con-
viCtiOn the officers have secured the evil
dence in the other cases. and II looks as
II scarcely a day passes but what new
evidence acCumulates.
When asked about his many burglaries
last night. Armstrong said;
"Oh. 1 don mind telling ABOUT what 1
have done. and / guess ! am Just as SICK
as the detectives. but they are trying 10
load on me some things which nave been
done by lot of cheap nlggers. ! don I
do small Jobs. and l don think IL IS lhr
to be making me out meaner than l am.
Armstrong has been serving IN the PEN
itentiary off and on-and mostly on-eVer
since he was a boy. II has been estimat-
ed that altogether he mas given the state
nfteen years Of service lie IS now about
thirtv-nVe wears OF age. and he first went
TO the penitentiary when he was nrteen
years or age.
Policeman Bill Starnes, VINO was once
a penitentiary guard. said last night tnat
Armstrong was one OF the best workers
he had ever seen.
There was a queer thing about that
negro" said Starnes. and that was ne
was always quick 10 tel the bosses when
other negroes were planning TO escape.
but he would SKIP out the rrSt time ne
got the opportunity. Armstrong IS Just
as smart darky as you can find ana ne
is a born thicf. If you were 10 turn MN
loose right now he would break INTO
