Investigation has brought to light the
fact that the Sun City burglar who gives
his name as Chas. Chamberlain, is the
same man who was sent to the peniten-
tiary from this county in 1899 as Art
Johnson, convicted for robbing the depot
at Hazelton. Sheriff Mathews sent
Chamberlain picture to the prison au-
thorites to learn if he had been there be-
fore and received reply stating that the
man is AIT Johnson who served seven
years as a cook for the convicts. Samuel
Griffin was county attorney when John
son was sent up in 1899 and he says
that there Is no doubt that Chamberlain
is the same man. Others who remem-
Der the incident say that the resem-
blance Is pefed. There is also a suspii-
cion that the young man associated with
johnson or Chamberlain. who gives his
name as Geo. Carey. was connected
with the Hazelton robbery. A boy
was sent to the reicrmatory at the same /
tune under the name Of Roy Patterson.
He was associated with johnson IN the
robbery. Carey has some of the appear
ances Of this boy but so many years have
elapsed since that time that there Is no
certainty that he is the same person.
