CROOK OPERATES
AS A MILKMAN
Discovered on Back Porch
of Mrs. I. n. Crowley's Flat
by the Barking of a Dog
MAKES A READY EXCUSE
Police Believe He Is Burg
lar Who Entered the Same
Place Some Hours Before

The police believe a burglar is oper-
ating in the city in the guise of a milk
man. The man who entered the resi-
dence of Mrs. 1. N Crowley, 1909 Ma
sonic avenue, on Saturday afternoon
and stole about $3.50 worth of jewelry
is supposed to be burglar in the
guise of a milkman. A suspicious
locking man had been seen hanging
around that neighborhood for two or
three days. He spoke to Mrs. Crow
ley's little niece and wanted her to go
away with him. Miss Lopa Crowley,
Mrs. Crowley's daughter, also saw the
man on Friday evening and he stared
rudely at her as she passed him.
About 2 o'clock yesterday morning
]. H. Burke. who occupies the fiat
above Mrs. Crowley, had his attention
attracted by the loud barking Of Mrs.
Crowley's dog. He heard a commotion
on the back porch. and stepping out
on his own porch he asked, Who is
there?'' A mans voice replied, I'm the
milkman, but this dog won't let me
leave"
Burke asked the man to come up
the steps to his fiat and he would al
low him to get away through his front
door. A man came up carrying a
small tin bucket and hurried through
Burke's flat to the street.
Burke informed Mrs. Crowley yes
terday morning of the experience he
had with her milkman and she said
her milk is delivered afternoons. From
a description given by Burke Miss
Crowley believes the same man stared
rudely at her on Friday evening. Cap
tain Gleeson was notified, and he was
satisfied that the pretended milkman
had visited Mrs. Crowley's residence
again with the object of robbing it.
He has instructed his men to look out
for the crook.
