Daylight Robbery at Maine
Central Ticket Office.
Thief Gets About S45 in Bills
and Makes His Escape.
Descriptions Sent Out, But The Man Is
still al Large.

About as ncrvy piece of thieving as
has happened in this city was the ritling
OF the cash tray in the ticket office of
the Maine Central passenger station.
which occurred in broad daylight and
at about $50 Tuesday morning, and
Was followed by the escape of the thief
am his complete disappearance. The
theft was committed soon after train
No. ], which goes east at COS, had
pulled out of the station on it's way to
Waterville, and while Ticket Agent
Walker had gone to the bank for a
few minutes.
The thief secured possession of the
money by reaching n hooked stick
through the wicket on the ladies' room
side of the ticket office, and drawing
the cash tray within reach so that he
could take the bills out This tray is
of wood divided into three compart-
mentS and rests on a shelf midway be
tween the two windows from which the
tickets are sold. on top of the tray is
an iron coin holder, and in pulling the
coins on the tray along the shelf the
thief upset the coin holder. scattering
the coins on the shelf. but he did not
take any Of them, being startled per-
htDS by the noise made by them in
falling. AS nearly as could be stated
yesterday he secured between $50 i,u
$i5
Mr.. Walker was not gone from the
office much more than five minutes,
and on his return discovered that the
money WAS missing. The case was i'm
meGiatcly reported to the police and
MnrchD1 Donovan
at work. but though diligenl search
was made during the rest OF the day,
ard a description of the suspected
party was tclephoned to the police Of
the different places in this section,
nothing tangible had been received up
to n late hour last night.
The only clue at pres, mt is the de-
scription of a man who was in the
mems waiting room at the station
shortly before the theft occurred, and
who is said to have been hanging
around the place for some time. He
was sc"n by several and is described
as about 80 years of age, ) feet 8 or ~
inches in height, with quite dark COM
pleAion, rough skin-may have been
pockmarked, and wore dark cap
pulled down over his eyes, ana a dark
grayish mixed suit. He was I rather
dirty and slouchy looking fellow.
1t was remarkable that the man
should had an opportunity to do
the job at that time, as train
No. 81 goes west at 9.42. with
in 20 minutes of the time that the
theft must have been committed, and
at 915 there were at least four persons
in the waiting room, one Of whom saw
a young man of the description given
above sitting in the waiting room, and
there were also people on the lower
portion of the platform. The fact re-
mains. however that an opportunity
was offered and the fellow was not
slow in getting in his work.
