Of the light-fingered craft in the First
Methodist church.
j. Q. Andrews of 1923 South Broadway
and w. d. Ripley of 6S5 South Hill were
the two victims of the church robbery.
Both men had attended the services at
the church Friday night, and both men
were in the crowd of worshipers who
crowded the exits after the services.
Andrews was relieved of some pa
pers and receipts and $25 in gold, while
Ripley lost a pocketbook in which was
a $40 gold piece.
