Sioux City, Oct. 6.--Inspector OF
Police George NJ. Shippy, Of Chicago,
arrived here yesterday morning ana
went to the second hand store of Louis
Geffen, Ais Pearl street, where he
identified and placed under
watch, rugs to the value OF $500. which
he saws were stolen in Chicago dur
ing the recent remarkable series Of
burglaries which have been committed
there.
The inspector says the gang which
has been operating in Chicago is COM
posed largely OF former Sioux City
men, and of the entire gang, four OF
them have been indicted and are under
heavy bonds on five separate charges OF
burglary The Sioux City end OF the
robberies will be investigated, and the
inspector says that Louis Geffen may
be charged with being an accessory
after the fact and eXtradited.
Geffen is a brother-inlaw OF Morris
Levich, and his place of business IS
opposite that Of Levich.
After a thorough search of the store
the searchers went 10 the third floor
and there concealed beneath a pile OF
old beds and, stoves, six more valuable
Wilton rugs. worth $40 each, were dis
covered Geffen then said that 1t WAS
twenty-five rugs which he had receiv-
ed from Chicago, and that he had made

was in Chicago the day after one OF the
robberies and that he purchased TWEEN

that time, paying him $500 for Them
The rugs found in Geffen's place,
were identified by Fred Magerstadt, the
companion Of the inspector. as being
rugs which were stolen from his store.
All Of them bear tags and were easily
identified. Geffen maintained that he
knew nothing of the goods being stol-
en- and finally called in b. P. Barr an
attorney with whom he had had a con-
sultation.
The rugs were allowed to remain IN
Geffens store upon the promise OF the
attorney that they would not be dis.
turbed.
The series of burglaries which led up
to the Sioux City complication is one
Of the most sensational that has ever
occurred in Chicago, and for time
the police were at u loss to find
clew. Nearly all Of the stolen proper
