he past summer. will be the attrac-
ion at the Illinois Nov. /. This
amusing piece has made an excellent
Impression in England. Australia and
ven in Berlin where il achieved an
extended run. translated into German.
The story of the play relates to the
adventures of Young mana about
town in a London fog, where he
saves Il young actress from the as
sault of a footpad. Later he has
reasons for believing that he has been
deceived and that he is about to be-
come Il victim of blackmail. 1t is all
an error. but the circumstances seem
to Justify him in believing that he is
the object of Il scheme formed by a
gang of expert swindlers. And to
make make matters worse there is
another married man living in fiat
in the same house in which he resides
who bears his name. and from this
source a great list of complications
arise which keep the young man in a
state closely bordering ON insanity.
The action Of the play takes place
within few hours and the fun is said
to grow fast and furious. Besides S.
Miller Kent. the cast includes
Messrs. Holmes, Malcolm. Markley and
Burbridge. Miss Taylor, Mrs. Kent,

The Savannah morning news., 1903-01-11
WAS CROOK OF NOTE
HARRY BELMONT, THE sAFEBLOw-
Err, KILLED IN ATLANTA.
WELL KNOWN IN SAVANNAH.
ARRESTED HERE FOR ROBBING
THE OCILLA POSTOFFICE.

Belmont Was an EngIishman and an
Expert SafebIOwer-COuld Crack
the Biggest Safe Made without
Any TroubIe-A Liverpool Wharf
Rat Until the Boobies Made 1t Too
Hot for Hfm-Man Told Some In
teresting Things About Himself
When Arrested Here and Declared
He Would Escape From Federal
Prison.
1t developed yesterday that the
cracksman killed in Atlanta early Fri
day morning, while engaged in blow
ing open safe, was Harry Belmont,
an English criminal, we'll known in po-
lice circles in Savannah.
Belmont and a pickup named Mel
son We're arrested by the city detec-
tives here for the robbery of the post
office at Ocilla. When searched at the
concealed in the lining of Belmont's
clothes, and he admitted that it had
been his purpose to saw his way out
of the station house.
At that time the man talked rather
freely about himself with representa-
tive of the Morning News, and told
something of his earlier life. He was
a native of Liverpool, and during his
career across the water, was wharf
rat" The Liverpool hobbies" made
it so hot for Belmont that he pulled
up stakes and struck out for America.
He was an expert in his line, and
boosted that there was no safe on earth
that he could not crack in short or
der.
BelmOnt's Drag.
The safe blower declared to the
newspaper man that he could blow a
safe within five feet of a person and
not be detected. He tacitly admitted
that he had done time and that he
was wanted in more than one place.
Belmont went even further and de-
cl&red that he would not remain in
prison three months. With his pal he
pleaded guilty and was sentenced to
serve three years. Before his depar-
ture he told the newspaper mar that
Nelson was a green one and would
probably serve his term. but that he
would not remain long in the Federal
prison. Belmont was true to his word
and made mis- escape in short while.
The man was intelligent and shrewd.
The Atlanta story is as follows:
Positively Identified.
Atlanta, Jan. 10.-The unknown safe
blower, who was shot and killed night
before last by Policeman Mann, was
identified to-day by Postoffice Inspector
r. E. Barry, as Harry Belmont, a no
torious postoffice burglar.
Belmont, in company with Harry
Nelson, robbed the Ocilla postoffice in
1898, and the two went to Savannah,
where they were arrested by the Sa-
vannah police, and large number of
uncancelled stamps found in their pos
session. They got several hundred dol
lars worth of property in that haul,
and when taken before Judge Speer at
Savannah pleaded guilty. Each was
given three years in the penitentiary,
and Belmont escaped after serving
about q year.
Several postoffice robberies have been
attributed to him since that time, and
only a night or two before he met his
death the postofflce at Decatur, where
Mr.. Barry lives, was burglarized. Bel
mont is believed to have done that
work.
