Charged With Burglary and Larceny
Accused Railroad official vii!

more arrests are expected in the next
few days in connection with the num-
erous box car robberies in the loca,
Rio Grande yards. ru
Charges of burglary and larceny
we're preferred against s. A. Sutton
yesterday. Sutton was general yard
master for the Rio Grande and in his
arrest the railroad officials believe
they have captured the leader of the
gang which looted the shipments to
local firms and 60, San Francisco
firms. The goods stolen from ship
ments to San Francisco houses were
taken from box cars attached to
through freight trains routed to the
coast via the Western Pacific.
Recent discoveries of loot taken
from the box cars indicate that large
quantities OF dress goods have been
stolen by local people Some Of the
goods was made UP into gowns and
some of these gowns have been traced
to women who have been seen wear
ing the gowns. Other pieces Of dress
goods have been traced through the
pecularities of the fabric. Through
these articles the officers hope to 10
cate the fences through which the
goods were disposed .
When Sutton was arrested there
q found in his room at the resi-.
dence of Mrs. Earl l.. Swap, 212
West Second South street, thirty-two
pairs of silk hose, two pairs Of isle
hose, and two pairs of shoes. Sutton
had moved to that rooning house on
July 20 and had been there about a
month at the time OF his arrest.
The only charges placed against Sut
ton yesterday was for the theft of the
articles found in his room. 1t is highly
probable that other and more serious
charges will be placed against him
