CLAIM SANE GOODS.
Two Tailora Identify Stuff
Recovered From
Thieves.

A new phase in the recent robbery OF
the clothing establishment of Henry J.
Berry & CO., No. 25S Market street, New
ark, was developed yesterday.
Louis Moscome, a tailor, of No. $50
Washington street. Hoboken, claims more
thar 1000 worth Of cloth and garments
which were identified by Henry j. Berry
as his property at Police Headquarters.
New York, two weeks ago
Moscome procured a search warrant, in
which he claimed that Berry & Co. had
about S4,O00 worth of his property. The
warrant was served upon Mr.. Berry, who
submitted willingly to the removal OF the
goods to the Newark Police Headquarters.
The developments of yesterday are the
outcome of a robbery perpetrated on the
Newark clothiers on June s, when more
thar 1000 worth of cloth and made up
garments were stolen.
Two weeks ago the Jersey City police,
aided by Detectives Donovan, Murphy and
Christie of Newark, arrested James Ma
honey, alias Jack sheppard James Wiz
son and John Mcintyre in a house In
Broad street. Newark. The arrest led to
the recovery in Louis Rosenberg's pawn
shop, No. 1856 Eighth avenue, New York,
Of many thousands Of dollars worth OF
clohting, shoes, umbrellas and other ar
ticles which were identified as having
been taken from clothing and shoe stores
in Jersey City, Brooklyn, Bayonne and
Newark.
Henry j. Berry identified about S1,sV0
worth of cloth and garments as stolen
from his place. The goods he identified
-aof1xx rx-ft1 tho dissertation
he had given at the time of the theft.
Mr.. Moscome was robbed in much the
same way. Mr.. Moscome was in Newark
Monday and passed Berry & Co.'S store
He claims that in the show windows he
recognized goods from his place. He re-
turned to Hoboken, and with Detective
Kerrigan went to Newark yesterday and
applied for a search warrant for Berry's
store.
Moscome made affidavit that he had
reason to believe his goods were at Berry
& Co.'s and the warrant was issued by
Judge Lambert.
Detective Donovan, of Newark Police
Headquarters, accompanied the Hobo
ken men to Berry's and found the head
of the firm in charge Mr.. Berry was
surprised, but readily consented to a
thorough search of his stock
None of the stuff recovered by Berry
& Co. had tag marks or anything by
which Identification could readily be ac-
complished. still Mr., Moscome was post
tive that the greater part of the recovered
goods was his. Mr.. Berry was equally posi-
tive that the cloth and garments belong
ed to his firm. The rolls of cloth and the
garments agreed with the description he
had given the police at the time of the
robbery, but he offered no objection to
their removal to Police Headquarters
II declare said Mr. Berry, that every
garment and every yard of cloth identified
by me at Police Headquarters, New York,
are my property. I gave bonds to secure
my goods and / am positive they will be
restored to me. / have shown receipts
for all the stock in dispute.
TT is very unfortunate. Insinuations
were cast upon me after the robbery, and
/ presume. they win be thrown at mt
again. I am sure, though, that I will be
justified in the end
Berry & Co. will begin replevin pro-
ceedings to recover the roperty in dis
pute. The firm bears a high reputation in
Newark.
