CASE THURSDAY
Chief of Police Burke Asked by
District Attorney Jerome 10
Have EversOn and Local
Losers Before Grand
Jury in N.Y..

An investigation by New York de-
tectives following the arrest of Harry
Kaliski, a pawnbrOker on Ninth ave-
nue., near Seventeenth street, on a
charge of receiving the goods stolen
by Andrew EversOn from A. Clayton
Clark's residence and other places in
this city, has revealed, so the New
York police believe, that Kalisli' s
place was one of the greatest fences,
where stolen property has ever been
handled in this part of the country.
Kaliski is under $4,000 bail for the
grand jury Chief of Police Burke has
received letter from District Attor-
ney JerOme's office asking him to
have Everson and A. c. Clark, Fl.
Richman and M. Shangold in court in
New York Thursday morning, when
Kaliskis case is to be brought before
the grand jury, as witnesses.
The discovery of the booty from a
big robbery in Philadelphia in Ka-
liski's shop will probably make the
case against the pawnbroker much
graver than at first. The home of
Craige Lippincott, in Philadelphia.
was burglarized in June of thou
thousands of dollars worth of oil
raintings, gold, silver, jewelry and
furs.
Among the property stolen from
Mr.. Lippincott's Philadelphia home
and recovered by Acting Captain
Price were two valuable oil paintings
They were cut from their frames by
the burglars and were found in a
dress suit case in Kaliski's store. One
painting Is by l.. Kratzke and was
finished in 1885. The subject is that
of the Court Jester" The other
painting is by Renney, and represents
the Madonna and Child.
Other property identified as having
been stolen from Mr.. Lippincott' s
home consists of figure of dragon
in gold, a diamond in the mouth, ruby
eyes and sapphire wings; three fancy
gold scroll hairpins, silver cutter, gold
pencil, gold pin with pearls in the cen
tre, pair of gold cuff links, oval shape,
dress-suit case containing sealskin
cape, white fur boa, gray fur col
larette, fOxtail fur lace cOllaretto
and two opera glasses. All the prop
erty is now in Inspector McCafferty' S
room at police headquarters, together
with thousands of dollars worth of
other property for which owners are
being sought.
The recovery of Mr.. Lippincott' s
property came about by chance, fol-
lowing the EversOn arrest and con-
fession. Inspector McCafferty as
signed Acting Captain Price, of the
Bronx detective bureau, to the case
together with Detectives Gilday
Braun and Artkin, of the inspector
Office. After Kaliski had been put
through the third degree by Price, the
pawnbroker produced some of the
goods stolen from Mr.. Clark's resi-.
dence. Kaliski was arraigned in the
Jefferson Market police court and
held in $4,000 bail.
Everson in his confession told OF
an interview he had with the pawn.
broker, in which he said the latter
agreed to dispose of all the stuff Ever
son should bring to his shop.
Then commenced thorough search
of the pawnshOp. Price and his as.
sistants came across the valuable oi
paintings in the dress suit case and
the other articles. Inspector McCaf
ferty sent out secret alarm to the
big cities, with full description o1
the most valuable pieces found in Ka
liski's shop.
The first response came from the
Philadelphia authorities. Mr.. Lippin
colt sent to New York and the arti
cles were fully identified at police
headquarters in New York yesterday
Since the Lippincott property ha!
been discovered Inspector McCafferty
has had close watch kept on Ka
liski's place, and several men have
been arrested while attempting tt
pawn or sell stolen property there.
Among the many things found il
Kaliski's place are set of false teeth
wooden leg, false arm and glas!
eye. The charge against Kaliski i!
one of criminally receiving stolel
goods.
Lawyer Abraham Levy, who il
counsel for Kaliski, when seen las
night at his office, declined to go int
details of the case.
''All / can say" declared Mr.. Levy
''is that we can explain everything a
the proper time. My client is not
viOlatOr of law"
