Entered State Street Store

Carried off Goods.
LIST OF ARTICLES GONE
Proprietor Who Lives Nearby Heard no
Sound and Knew Nothing Of the Rohhery
Until His Clerk Opened the Store this
MornIng-PoIlcs Notified and are Con-
Quoting an Investigation.

One of the boldest robberies Derpe-
trated in this city for some time was
brought to light this morning when
Max Weiner, clerk in the "Fair,l''
a dry goods store owned by Philip
Siskin, at the corner Of Jefferson and
State street, went to open the store at
7.30 O'Clock. He found several arti-
cles on the shelves disarranged, sew
eral suits Of clothes thrown about, the
display windows in confusion and "a
window in the rear of the store show
ing evidences of having been tampered
with.
The bottom OF this window is about
eight feet from the ground. On the
sill were found hnger marks in the
dust. 1t Is believed that q man lifted
a small boy up who climbed in through
the window. This theory is further
strengthened by the discovery OF sew
eral small boys suits showing evil
dence Of having been tampered with.
The proprietor, who lives on Jeffer-
son street, across from the rear of the
store, heard no noise during the nisht.
The total list Of missing articles tonn-
prises: three coats, size SO two pairs
of patent leather shoes, sizes 7 and 8;
one overcoat, pair or two Of trous-
ers, 80 in change, several collars,
dress suit case and six pairs of socks.
The two last named articles were
taken from display windows facing
on State street. The total loss amounts
to over S35.
An excavation is being made in the
yaid, back of the store, for pipes.
This passes directly under the win
dows so that it would have been we'll
nigh impossible to have put up
ladder to the window. The boxes, in
which shoes had been. were found,
two on desk in the rear I, the store
and one box on top of the shelves.
directly under the window through
which entrance is supposed to have
been effected.
When the thieves left they took the
key of the back door. which had been
in the keyhoie, and locked the door
behind them.
The case was reported to the police
this morning and they are working on
it. Detective Huff went over tk<
premises this morning but no clue< has
been found as yet TO the thieves.

Interesting Case in the District
Court Today Concerning
Woodbridge People.
MUCH LOCAL INTEREST.
Case Being Tried Before Jury Several
Witnesses Examined this Morning when
Adjournment was Taken Until this At
ternoon-The Story as Told by the
Principals.

There has not been case for some
time in this vicinity which has stirred
up so much interest as the replevin
case of Messino VS.. Brown, which
came up in the district court this
morning before Judge Lyon and the
following jury: Spencer Dayton,
foreman, Samuel Hornsby. William
f. Hartmann, William f. VanPelt,
Leon GEL, John Cluney, John Craw-
ford, Wallace V. Miller, Thomas Con.
nors, Jacob Kreielsheimer, Louis
Berger and James Garland. Antonio
Messino, of Port Reading, who is re-
presented by Assemblyman J. H. T.
Martin, of Woodbridge, sues William
Brown, of Woodbridge, for damages
for the retention of four guns belong
ing to the plaintiff and for damages
to them while in the defendants
possession. Mr.. Browns counsel is
Joseph K. Stricken, of this city.
After Mr.. Martin had stated his case
to the jury, he called Anton Bortono,
his first witness, to the, stand. Bor-
tono testified that he was employed az
coal trimmer by Mr.. Messino and
also boarded with him. On New
Years day last about II. 45 O'Clock in
the morning, he said, that while he
was cutting wood in Messino's yard,
Mr.. Brown and another gentleman
drove up. went into the cellar of the
house and took the four guns in dis
pute. Thev were taken by Mr.. Brown
because. it is alleged, MESSING and
others had been shooting rabbits with
tho arms. The witness said that he
could not identify the guns now. Mr..
Stricken also cross examined the wit
ness. The witness spoke through an
interpreter.
The plaintiff was the second witness
called. He testified that he bought
the four guns in New York on De-
cember 2S and that ne placed them in
his cellar upon their delivery. When
Bortono saw the men in the yard he
told Messino, who at once went to his
home. Brown told him that he had
taken the guns. Messino thought that
Brown was joking and invited him
and his friend into the house. When
they had left, ne found that the seiz-
ure was a reality and that night went
to Woodbridge and demanded the guns
but was refused.
The witness further testified that
one of the guns, which he saw this
morning, was broken at the handle.
The bill for the guns was offered in
evidence. The other witnesses called
this morning were the defendant and
Mr.. Valentine. When the case was
adjourned it was until O'Clock this
afternoon.
Upon reconvening, Mr.. Brown was
recalled to the stand. He correct' d
part of his mornings testimony by
declaring that Messino told him and a
friend, Mr.. Johnson, that he did net
own the guns himself but would find
the parties to whom they did belong.
This was in contradiction of the
plaintiff own testimony.
