The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1912-09-04

morning and helped themselves to
anything and everything they want
ed. They secured enough to go
housekeeping, clothe themselves and
also to keep the inner man from
starvation. 1t was a big haul and
Hawleyites are now wondering II
they will return. Three buildings
located at the Eddy, were entered,
two of which were hotels. At West
Hawley the Office of the coal pock-
cts, in charge of Frank Stephenson,
was broken into. Some old clothes
and a dress suit case were stolen. |
They were unsuccessful in securing
money. That the clothes would help
out and the suit case would come in
handy a little later was undoubted-
ly their thought. Now for some good
old Green Valley Rye. The whole
sale store of Frank Karney was en-
tered. But hard luck! Some bot
ties fell upon the floor and mans
best friend was aroused from
peaceful slumber. Fido barked. The
burglars did not dare to go any fur
ther into the building so the
thoughts of having gay old time"
vanished as Fido continued to bark.
Cutting out refreshments" the bur-
glars continued their unlawful
work.
BY the time they reached the
Eddy, unable to satisfy their appe-
tites in West Hawley, they quietly
entered the Eddy Hotel, of which
Jacob Doetsch, late of Honesdale,
is proprietor. They went from one
room to another, leaving things in
turmoil. No money was secured but
a fine ham was taken. Mr.. Doetsch
did not hear the intruders, but if
1. l.
have been forgotten by the bur-
glars.
A stones throw from the Eddy
Hotel is located the Park View Hotel
and also Atkinson & Quinneys store.
Both of these places were also bur-
glarized. At the department store
they opened the safe and took few
stamps intending to write to their
many Hawley friends, thanking them
for their generous gifts and for
keeping asleep while they visited
their homes and stores. An UNI
brella was also taken from Messrs.
Atkinson & Quinney's store, un-
doubtedly being afraid that they
might soil their newly stolen clothes.
Thinking perhaps that it was too bad
to carry the empty suit case another
unwelcome call was made in the
immediate neighborhood before
leaving the town. The hour was past
- two Sunday morning and all was
dark and quiet. Just the time to
register. Finding the door locked,
entrance was gained through win
dow and then the front door was un-
locked. The cash register drawer
was left open and sS.65 was seized.
The register was carried out of the
hotel and into the backyard, where
it was found undisturbed Sunday
morning. The landlady, Mrs. Caro-
lyn Lehman, misses the following
articles: Gold watch fob, valued at
$40; silver tea set, silver butter
dish, cut glass pickle dish, with sill
yer top, five dozen teaspoons, total
ing in value about 500. Parties
in the hotel were up until after 2
O'Clock and they claim that the bur-
glary did not take place until after
that time. The hotel was filled with
guests and no one heard any noise
during the wee hours of the morn
ing.
There are features connected with
the Hawley burglary similar to those
of the Waymart burglary of month
ago, when the Canaan Corners Ho-
tel was robbed of about $40 and the
drug store of Mr.. Stewart, at Way
tered the hotel at Canaan Corners
by opening a window and then
throwing the latch off the front
door and carrying the cash ergister
out into the orchard, where II
was found the next morning by the
proprietor. The time of the bur
glary also occurred about the same
time, according to reports by both
parties.
Hawley's police force is working
on the case.
Burglar Takes Gold Watch.
A burglar or sneak thief entered
the home of F. F. Schuller some
time during Saturday morning and
took a gold watch belonging to his
son Lloyd. The latter had attended
a dance the night before and instead
of going to his room on the second
floor he slept down stairs. The
sneak thief raised a back window
through which he gained entrance
and stole the watch. Lying neal
the timepiece was a diamond sticl
pin and some money. Neither were
disturbed. 1t is evident that some
one watched Mr.. Schuller and fol
lowed him to his home. The watcl
was valuable one and was highly
priced by the owner.
Mr.. Schuller's monogram was OF
the watch and his full name, "LloyC
F. Schuller, June IA, 1910" which
was the date of graduation from thu
Honesdale school.
An electric flashlight, pearl knif'
and less than 81 in change was alst
taken.
On Saturday night the thieves re
turned, probably intending to max,
ha, III 10
door and window but were unable Il
gain entrance as easily as they dir
the night before.
Detective N. B. Spencer is EN-
ployed on the case.
