BEER STOLEN BY

LOCAL BREWERY
Two Drivers and a Shipping
Clerk at Feigenspan's Held
for the Thefts.
MEN ARE SAID TO HAVE
ADMITTED THEIR GUILT
In Taking Out Morning Loads
Some of the Casks Would
Go Unchecked.

Charged with the wholesale robbery
of beer from their employers. Charles
Miller n Henry Apgar, two drivers,
and Frederick Hofacker, a shipping
clerk, in the employ of the Christian
Feigenspan brewery. were held today
in $500 bail each in the Third Precinct
Police Court on a complaint made out
by Mr.. F~eigenspan.
Systematic and continued robbery,
the police claim, has come to light with
their arrest, and alleged confession.
The brewery was robbed of from two
to four kegs of ale or beer every day,
they declare. 1t Is believed that the
clever scheme practised by the three
confederates may have been duplicated
in other breweries, and a genera. In
v~estigation will be made.
Miller lives at A Magazine street;
Hofacker at 43 Mott street, inc Apgar

ed late yesterday by Policemen Brex

proportions in the past few years, was
the statement made by Mr.. Feigen-
span, and an effort will be made to
nave these men severely punished, so
as to set an example to other drivers.
How They worked.
In the morning when the men loaded
up their wagons Hofacker would check
up their loads one or two barrels
short, thus allowing the drivers to dis
pose of those unchecked. The store
room from which the barrels are taken
in the morning Is always so fully
stocked that many barrels could be
taken without anyone knowing 1t. The
stamps on the barrels We're always
taken off before the drivers delivered
the stolen goods so that Hofacker
could keep his stamps accounted for.
When he was short Of stamps he
would account for the lapse by stating
that the barrel was sent to the 'sten-
evuerth." This is the, room where all
barrels that leak are sent, so hat the
drivers and other employees may help
themselves.
Hofacker has been in the employ OF
the brewery about six months, having
been given the position on the recon-
mendation of Miller. These two men
are Jointly charged with having stolen
twenty half barrels of ale and lager,
valued at $50.
Apgar Led Into Scheme.
Apgar. who has been in the brewery
for almost nine years, and was consid-
cred their best was led into the
deal by the others unsuspectingly, it is
said, n is charged with the larceny
of three barrels OF beer, valued at $12.
Apgar was paroled on his own %recogniz-
ance, but Miller and Hofacker were
held in $500 bail to appear before the
grand jury.
In the office of the Internal revenue
collector this afternoon, it was said hat
the case would be fully Investigated,
and those who had sold the unstamped
beer would be prosecuted.
