capped in a wagon.

and then hauled away is considered
certain, as the weight and bulk of the
goods would have been too much for
even two strong men.
Twomey is of the opinion that the
men are well versed in relative quality
of tailoring goods. A large stock of
novel goods. of the finest quality had
just been shipped in and the thieves,
after throwing the entire stock of the
establishment on the floor, picked out
the best materials and the most likely
for sales. showing good taste. Twomey
