Negro Performs a Clever
Theft on North Bir-
mingham Car

Thieves have many different ways
of working and are always well
versed in the latest methods of depriv-
ing the public of their valuables. How
ever, negro on the North Birmingham
car proved himself strictly up o-date
when he stole an overcoat from L. f.
Marshall, residing at 2205 Fourth av-
enue, last night
Mr.. Marshall was standing on the cor
ner of Eighth avenue and Twenty
sixth street. His overcoat was lying
across a box few feet away from him,
along the side of the car tracks A
North Birmingham car entered the
scene, acting the part of the william,
for as the car shot past the corner, the
box Mr.. Marshall and the overcoat,
the last mentioned disappeared from the
scene, along with the car and a negro
who was riding on a front seat. The
negro reached out of the window.
gracefully removed the coat from the
box and left Mr.. Marshall standing on
thes corner-minus his coat.
Evidently no one on the car noticed
the little scene, enacted in the form
of tragedy. for thc negro got away
with his bold plan and was not appre-
hended.
