YOUNG ROBBER
BEHIND BARS
aINrns Philosopher When He
Faces Burglary Charge
Made Good Hauls.
GIVES ADVICE TO OTHERS

Hoboken, N. j., Oct. 2S.-Looking
back over twenty-five burglaries he
had committed In Passaie, N. j., since
last November, Robert Henry Anthony
OF Hobolsen turned philosopher in his
cell.
I'D advise every young fellow to let
the burglary business alone" he said
earnestly.
ut doesn't pay in the best of times,
and it's bound to land you behind the
bars in the long run. Eve been In the
game for more than a year, played 1t
night and day, made a lot Of good
hauls along with my bad ones, but in
my opinion the boy that's making his
ten a week steady is better off than
the best of burglars"
Anthony's arrest followed his visit
to the house of Robert Mueller at 80
Irving place Tuesday night. His prac-
tfce was to ring a doorbell and If no
answer came to force his way In. He
followed 1t at the Mueller house, but
bell was out of order and he came
face to face with Mueller in the lat
ter's bedroom. The burglar was
armed, and Mueller obeyed when Or
dered to Keep quiet.
When lodged in Jail Anthony was in
spected by fifteen Passaic policemen,
who promptly recalled him as the
suave. genial young man who had ap-
preached them at all hours of the
night around Hillside, generally with
a request for a match and to pass the
time of the night. Other policemen
recognized him as the youth they had
seen dashing around in his drab col
ored automobile. He smilingly return
ed salutes to several officers, but ut
tered no word.
Later when Detective Turner laid
before him twenty-one written COM
plants giving time and place of the
robberies and the property stolen. An
thony carefully scrutinized each paper
and replied:
"This is excellent work, officer"
According to Detective Turner, An
- scheme was to enter resi-.
through the open front door,
his hat, cane and sometimes
topcoat in the hallway and then
rife any room or desk he came across.
When detected, as happened on several
occasions, he managed to apologize and
bow his way out before the maid or
butler could sound an alarm. /
