SINNERS KNOCKED DOWN.
He Had an Exciting Experience at
Reading Recently.

Robert NJ. SINNERS, deputy food
commissioner who pays frequent visits
to this city was a prisoner for half
an hour the other day in a Reading
restaurant. While on a hunt for oleo
he entered E. NJ. Ruppert's at 143 Penn
street, and ordered a sandwich. He
found the butter in it was oleo, he
says, and asked Rupert where it was
bought. Rupert declined to tell him.
SINNERS picked up some OF the oleo
from plate and slipped it into his
pocket. Then Rupert, it is alleged,
grabbed SINNERS by the shoulder,
knocked him down and carried him in
to the back room, where he made him
sit on a chair and threatened to do
him worse harm if he should try to get
away. He demanded that SINNERS
give back the butter, but SINNERS re-
fused.
When at last released SINNERS went
to District Attorney Rothermel and
with him proceeded to an alderman's
office, where a warrant was sworn
out for Ruppert's arrest.
