The Scranton Truth has this in
'teresting article in regard to John
Blake, a notorious criminal: Ac-
cused of stealing the cash boxes
from pay stations of the Bell Tele-
phone Company in this city, Wilkes
Barre and Honesdale, John Blake,
alias pool Murphy, alias Joseph
Kuhn, who formerly conducted a
saloon in Philadelphia, is locked up
in the Jail at Honesdale. The pris-
oner is suspected of being one of
three persons who have been operat-
ing in this part of the state during
the summer, and have taken many
cash boxes and their contents from
the pay stations of the Bell Tele-
phone Company in public places.
Black is charged with larceny and
is also held on suspicion. Blake is
nearly fifty years of age, and was
prosperous saloon-keeper in Phila-
delphia twelve years ago, where he
had a saloon on Passayunk avenue.
The case against Blake was worked
up by H. w. Haggerty, of Philadel-
phia, who is chief detective for the
Bell Telephone Company. The lat
ter company maintains it's own de-
tective bureau. Detective Hagger-
ty and three other detectives have
been sent into this section from
Philadelphia for the purpose of
rounding up the culprits. The de-
tectives have their headquarters in
this city. They are confident they
will be able to capture Blakes as
sociates, and have traced them to
several points. The detectives also
believe these culprits are the ones
who have burglarized several offices
in this city, as we'll as other busi-
ness offices. They are also suspect
ed of being pickpockets. They are
the slickest individuals in the busi-
ness, and have been operating dur
ing the summer without detection
