EsCAPED.-The man who robbed the
signal tower at Washington and Ohio
Junction Monday night 1t seems had
previously entered the Office Of the
Jacksou-P Phillips Brick Company at
Waterloo and robbed the place OF a
number Of articles, including $50 taken
from the safe. He subsequently made
an uncessful attempt to enter the post
Office at Brickhaven. After having rob-
bed the tower at w & o. junction John
A. Crowley, telegraph operator In
the tower, followed him. The thief
walked to Jackson City and entered
one Of the houses there. 1t was then
about 20. M. Crowley followed and
demanded his property. He noticed
that q watch fob hung from the mans
coat pocket and, recognizing 1t ss
his own, snatched it from the POCKET
and found his watch attached. He then
demanded the clothing, which, he said,
the thief had packed 10 satchel. The
man refused to give up the clothes, and
as several persons made threatening
demonstrations toward Crowley, he
thought it was time for him to leave.
The telegraph operator hung around
the place for some time, however, and
finally saw the thief get into an auto
mobile and start for Washington. Crow
ley followed on foot and reported at the
Fret precinct station. Every effort
was made by the Washington police TO
capture the burglar, but he eluded
them by proceeding on foot from a
Thirteenth street resort to the B. 81 o.
depot where he took train. The Bal |
timore police have been notified.
