THIEF ROBS
PHONE BOOTH
Gets $40 in Box From Hello
Station In POStOffiCe
Corridor
THIEF WORKED In NIGHT
WATCRMAN'S ABSENCE

Some time between midnight and
early this morning a thief entered the
post Office and robbed the Delaware
and Atlantic Telegraph and Tele-
phone Company's telephone pay sta
tion booths In the corridor of the
building and got away with the cash
box in one Of them.
This is the third robbery of the
kind at the post Office and this time
the thief deliberately removed the re-
ceptable in which coins are dropped
and carried il off together with the
money it contained. said to be about
SO. The thief came prepared for the
job He had a screw driver and re-
moved the case box from the telephone
to which It was fastened. The screws
and fixtures he left behind.
The robbery was not discovered
until this morning when somebody
went into the booth to use it. The
watchman at the post Office last night
was James II. Foreman, colored, and
il is thought that the thief waited
for his opportunity until Foreman
went to the basement of the building
10 make his rounds II required but
a few minutes to remove the cash box
from the telephone and Il is thought
that the thief intended to remove the
box from the other booth, but was
frightened off before he could finish
the Job.
While this makes the third time
that the telephone booths at the post
Office have been robbed, on one oc-
casion the thief secured nothing for
his trouble having been alarmed be-
fore he could get the box open. Many
persons use the telephones and they
are a source of considerable revenue
to the companies having them there.
The money is removed from the boxes
every Saturday morning and it Is
thought that tie thief knew this. The
receipts for each booth amount to
from $40 to SIS a week.
