Ridge street when FIR. Duczmal told them
that his attention was attracted to the
church which is nearby by the barking of
his dog and that he saw light In the
church.
He fired two shots from his revolver
and went into the church. but found no
light nor were any OF the doors or win
dows disturbed. The patrolmen also
searched the church thoroughly, but
found no traces of robbers. There was
nothing in the church for any one to steal,
but the contents OF the poor box as the
chalice and other valuable articles are
taken into the house by the pastor every
day and this owing TO the fact that the
church is an old building and can he
easily entered.
