SOCIETY BURGLAR RICH.
Gathered Half Million of Wealth just
for Pastine.


Chicago-Jacob F. Guthrie, alleged
society burglar and forger, whose
clever crimes netted him more than
half million dollars in six months, is
declared to be victim Of periodical
insanity, a sort of madness that drove
him to crime The rare joy of steal
ing and the thrill of breaking into
other peoples houses Iured Guthrie to
his ruin.
Six months of burglary, riotous,
joyous stealing, that were described
by him as he sat in the detective bu-
reau, opened up new chapter in
criminal psychology Burglary had
proved to youthful Guthrie what gam
bling, drink and stronger st;mulants
are to others. Stealing. said he, had
become habit with him that he did
not even care to break.
To sit in house that has been "se-
curely" locked before the departure
of it's wealthy owner for some summer
j resort, and map out plan of stealing
all the most valuable heirlooms anc
art treasures was to Guthrie what ar

unnecessary protection for the wool

the wool bill with a similar action on
