ROBBER Was CLEVER
Broke Window Pane and
Smeared Sill With Blood
As a False Scent.
ENTERED THROUGH A DOOR

The police have obtained no definite
information as yet as to the identity
of the thief or thieves who entered
Bayer's bakery early Sunday morn
ing and made a successful getaway
with about S12 in money and $40
worth of meal tickets. OF one thing.
however, Chief Of Police Gormon is
certain. The robbers did not gain ac-
cess TO the building by means of the
rear window. the pane of which had
been cut out and the sill smeared
with blood. Chief Gormon is of the
opinion that the bloody marks were
made simply to divert suspicion as to
the real method of entering the build
ing.
He declares that entrance to the
store was gained by means OF key.
The lock on the door is peculiar and
can not be opened by an ordinary key
For that reason the thief wished TO
make it appear that he had obtained
access through the window and made
the bloody marks TO strengthen this
belief. The police are working on sew
eral clues and it is thought that ar
rests will follow shortly.

MADE POLICE SMILE
When Sextette of HOboeS Said
They Were Here Look
ing for Work.
CHASED OUT OF THE CITY

A sextet of as typical looking hoboes
as ever graced police headquarters
with their presence lined up before
superintendent of Police GOrmon this
morning and after severe lecture. the
entire bunch was given minutes to get
out of the city. The men put up the
old worn out gag that they were look
ing for work. when, as a matter of fact
according to Chief Gormon. they in
variably dodge the first indication of
manual labor.
The tramps were taken as far as the
old fair grounds by Patrolman Eogel-
song, and at that point were told to
keep moving until they crossed the
state line at least. Chief of Police
Gormon stated that the Weary Willies
problem was beginning to assume Sc
rious proportions in Richmond. He
declared that the hoboes were respon-
sible for most of the petty thieving
which has been done in this city this
winter and We're a worthless and unde-
sirable class Of citizens.
About the most effective way to
get rid of this class of men," said the
chief. is to turn the hose on them and
give them a thorough scrubbing which
they will remember. The only diff
Guilty with this. however is to get vol
unteers to do the work. for the Job
isn't exactly what would be termed
desirable.'
