The amateur crac ksman who oper-
ates from the rear of store when max
ing break showed his hand sometime
Tuesday night or carly Wednesday
Why he failed to carry out |
his designs on the store of Clapp & |
Jones is only a surmise but it is likely |
that he became frightened and quit |
operations when success was almost at |
hand. The thief had used knife on
the sash of both of the lower halves |
of the rear windows but after making |
an attempt to cut out piece of the |
sash in the frame to the south side of |
the store he evidently became aware
Of the fact that several sheets of glass
were resting against the inside of the
window pane and to break the glass
would cause a clatter that mi chit awak-
IN some one in the vicinity. The window
IN the north side of the store was the
Dne to receive the most attention and
II addition to almost cutting through
he sash in two places the glass was
broken. From the evidences of the
of the thief it seems very
that the person was the same
me who made the break at A. f.
Wood s store last week
