Orangeville 18th District.-Last Sunday
morning the discovery was made that thieves
| had entered row of twO-story brick dwellings
! just completed and owned by Mr.. VIM. C.
Dorsey, on Baltimore street, near Highland
avenue, and stole lead pipe and brass and
nickel fixtures from the bathrooms to the
value of over $50. The bathroom doors oil
all the houses were connected with burglar
alarm in Mr.. Dorsey's residence, which is in
the same square, but the thieves opened the
transoms and cut the connecting wires before
they attempted to enter the rooms. The fix
lures of five houses were stolen.
The connections TO the alarm were at once
changed so the gong would ring when the
kitchen doors were opened. On the following
day, between IL and l o'clock, the alarm
sounded. Mr.. Dorsey was not at home, but
his brothers, Messrs. Charles A. and G. L.
Dorsey. who reside opposite, and Mr.. David
Wright, made hurried investigation of the
premises and discovered two men making their
escape from one of the houses by jumping
from second story window. The men headed
toward the city, with their pursuers close on
their heels. For want of better place of
concealment they dashed into sewer, which
runs under Patterson Park. During the chase
several shots were fired, which attracted a
large crowd. County officers Mann and Moore
were among the first to arrive on the scene.
They were soon followed by number Of city
patrolmen. Some of the latter attempted to
enter the sewer, but the foul gasses forced
them to retreat. In the meanwhile lanterns
had been procured and Officers Mann and
Moore, accompanied by Mr.. Charles A. Dorsey,
went in. The trio had proceeded about quar-
ter of a mile when Officer Moore was nearly
overcome by foul air and had to go back. The
other two men continued their search until
they came to an open manhole near the gas
house south of Eastern avenue, through which
the fugitives had evidently made their escape.
Before entering the sewer the searchers called
attention to the necessity OF guarding all out
let's, and they were greatly disappointed when,
after their most unpleasant and dangerous I'M
derground journey, covering distance Of about
three-quarters of mile. through an average
through sheer negligence on the part of some
of Baltimore's ''fnest,'' in not guarding all
means of escape, the men had gotten away.
On Thursday afternoon David F. Koeing
was arrested by the city authorities Oh suspi-
cion of being implicated in the robbery. He
had hearing at the Canton Police Station on
Wednesday morning and was released on $500
bail.
On Tuesday last Mr.. VIM. c. Dorsey was
made a special officer for the neighborhood of
Baltimore street, east of the city limits to
serve without pay. The appointment was
made by the County Commissioners.
