The Police of New Rochelle, New
York, Charge That DIR. Bolin, !
Society Leader of That Town, Is :
Burglar and Is Responsible TO.
Many Robberies, and Have Ar
rested Him.
DR.. Samuel Bolin, physician, chem
ist, house owner and social leade,
of the Euguenot Park section Of New
Rochelle, New York, was pluckec
from a trolley car and landed IL
jail to answer the accusation Of the
attempted burglary of q hardware
store. Detectives say they will prove
that, the physician has been posing as
a distinguished resident by day ano
robbing his neighbors homes afte,
dark.
The New Rochellians, who, prior
to Saturday, had ridden with hin
proudly behind his pair Of bays. were
50 stunned at his arrest Tuesday
night that they could not even re.
gain eQuanimity enough to &c the
doctors bail.
DR.. Bolin entered New Rochelle
society with something of a fanfare
about four months ago. He mad pre-
viously become acquainted with
Judge John Van Zelm. a prominent
lawyer Of the city, and the Judge
helped him spread the report that
his practice in Harlem was some.
thing to conjure with and that as ar
inventing chemist his reputation was
little short Of wizards.
When he bought a handsome house
on Summit avenue, installed his wife
and three children and a stable, anc
spent $1,000 improving the grounds
he was accepted as a welcome addi'
ton to the social situation, without
so much as a question. The horses
that pulled his carriage through New
Rochelle might have been blue-rib
boners. He entertained well ano
made friends.
But last Wednesday night, just
after IL, Mrs. Robert Haugh, Of Hu.
guenot street, looked out Of her bed
room window and across the lot to
the rear and spied a man saving the
bars out Of window IN Levison's
hardware store, which backs up
against her property.
The sight interested Mrs. Haugh
the more from the fact that two
weeks ago her house was entered by
means Of just such saw as she was
hearing tnen, with consequent loss
Of $500 in jewels. Other wealthy
residents Of the vicinage suffered
similar losses.
Mrs. Haugh 'phoned Historically
for the police. The station being
close at hand, Detectives De Veau
and Cnenowith were groping for a
sight Of the burglar in about two
minutes. They came on a man hur-
rying up the rear stairway Of the
Levison building. He was taking off
his coat and collar as he ran and act
ed very much like a tardy home-com-
er rushing for his cot.
whats up?" he demanded, as the
detectives followed him up the fight.
Were looking for a robber an
swered Chenowith. Hes been
breaking into this place.
''You don't say" cried the man.
"I'll just run upstairs and get my
poistol and then I'll help you catch
him.
Completely mislead the detectives
started back for the rear entrance.
The man they had been talking
with bolted through the front door
and ran away. Though they didn't
find him again that night De Veau
and Chenowith h swear he was Dr.. Boil
in and the collar left behind when he
fed is as good evidence as they had
with their eyes.
Under the half-sawed bars of Lev
inson's window they found a bur-
glars hack saw and can of lubrica-
ting oil.
Sergeant Cody Of the New Roch-
ellie police detailed all Of his slim de-
tective force on the case at once. He
says he discovered that Bolir was
home much Of the day and away most
of the night. But friendly neighbors
who knew this explained with the
statement that as Bolin was practic-
ing medicine and running drug
store in Harlem, he couldn't be ex-
pected to come up from New York
until late in the day. The police found
out, however, that he generally ar
rived in town so late that he must
have been compelled to use the
Mount Vernon trolley car.
Just what--if anything---the de-
5ectives found to involve Bolin in an
unadve-tised double life they will
not say, but they declare they have
found enough. They say they fol
lowed him four days, know where
he went on his strange trips after
dark, traced him until no doubt re-
NAMED, and then got out John Doe
warrant for his arrest.
At any rate Detective Scott was on
rand when the Mount Vernon trolley
are surged into New Rochelle, and
IS DR.. Bolin got off and started to

ice headquarters.
When Huguenot Park found out I

Indignant. Mrs. Bolin, declaring the
rrest an outrage, ran from neigh
