MANY FREIGHT
CARS ROBBED
~&-~
ATLANTA DETECTIVES DISCOVER
THAT $4,000 WORTH OF GOODS
HAVE BEEN STOLEN.
SCAULETT is ON THE CASE
Former Brunswick Detective is Among
Those Who discovered That
The Robbery Was
Going On.
The Atlanta Constitution Of yestel

The Atlanta Constitution of yester-
day says:
More than $4,000 worth of goods
have been stolen In the past seven
montns from the box cars Of the
Southern, Atlanta and West Point,
Central and Belt Line railways In ana
around Atlanta. This charge is made
by Detective Fitzpatrick, Lanrord and
Steint. Of the Atlanta force. and Pri-
vate Detective scariett and Connally,
of the Southern railway.
The detectives say that it is one of
the best planned ana most thoroughly
executed schemes Of railroad THEY
ing ever known in the south and that
several Atlanta merchants are impli-
Gated, and that they nave the proof
in hand to convict.
1t is alleged that during the past
seven months the lifting" has been
carried on with systematic thorough
ness that would have done credit to
the very best business organization or
corporation anywhere in the United
States, and that goods OF all kinds
have been stolen.
he thieves, It is thought by the
detectives, have been operating dur
ing the past seven months, but the
first inkling of it got to the ears Of
the detectives about four months ago,
and during this time they have been
on stir but effective hunt for the
daring and eminently successful lift
ers"
According to the detectives the plan
has been executed in this way Ne
groes paid to do the work would be
notified that a freight car of a GER
tain line, and bearing a certain num-
Der. would reach the city on or about
certain day. These negroes would
watch for the car and when it reacA-
ca the city they would await con
venient time and when the car was
on side track would go TO it at night
and after cutting the seat it would be
merely a matter Of having help and a
wagon conveniently near, and the
goods would be taken out OF the car,
hauled to a convenient spot, hidden
and rnen sold at leisure.
The sensational feature OF the tniev-
Ing IS the charge that some Of the
merchants of Atlanta are in league
with the thieves. and. in fact. have the
negroes to do the work and pay them
by giving them a nominal price for
the goods No names are as yet di-
vnIged, as the detectives are not
ready, but it is claimed that they nave
the proof In hand in the persons of
about eight negroes who have been
doing the stealing.
The detectives have up to. this time
kept the affair strictly on the quiet,
but they have been doing some of the
cleverest work within the past four
months That was ever done by de-
tectives anywhere Sherlock Holmes,
the Great, could not have followed
more cleverly, nor WITH more eminent
success the clews that have been fol-
lowed by the Atlanta detectives.
They are not ready yet to divulge
any names-either tne thieves or the
purchasers-but say that when the
proper times comes they win pro-
duce their evidence and that this evil
dence viii convict before any jury.

There should be but few such holi-
