FOR CHICKEN
HIS FAULT
UChinSki Now accused Of Lar
ceny Of GrabOwSkl'S Seven
Pound zen
OWNER HIS OWN
DETECTIVE IN CASE

VINO stole Frank Grabowskis IL
pound light brown hen? That's the
question that the Court Of General
Sessions will be asked to decide at the
next term OF court.
Grabowski, who lives at No. 800
East Second street, for some time
has been engaged in chicken raising
on a small scale, and has several
plump chickens In his back yard.
Lately, however. the fowl have been
mysteriously disappearing, until his
flock has diminished to a mere frac-
ton of what it used to be.
Grabowski has watched carefully
and tried almost every devise pos
sible to catch the thief, for he was
certain the chickens were being
stolen, but all his efforts proved un-
aya.ling. The chickens continued to
disappear and the thief refused to be
caught
Last Monday morning before he went
to work Gabrowski went out in his ya.d
and fed his flock. he then counted
them and found IA fowls. At noon that
day. when he returned for lunch, Gra-
bowski again went into his yard to feed
the chickens. Ha counted them again
and found only l3 One of them, fine
big light brown hen, which Grabowski
declares weighed from l-2 to s pounds.
and valued at 80, had taken the trail to
the mysterious Unknown.
This taxed the limit of Grabovsld's
patience, and he Immediately resolved to
act down to detective work. No police
for him; he would do it himself. And
the result Of his investigation caused
the arrest Of Leon Uchinski, who was ar
raigned in Magistrate Gluckman's court
last night ami was held under 5000 bail
for upper court. Grahowski ascertained
in the course Of his detective work, that
his chickens during the day had habit
of passing through an opening in the
rear of his yard into stable which
bounded the yard in the rear. Locating
this hole in the stable, Grabowsk went
around the front entrance and began to
chat with the colored stable man.
BY a series Of questions be ascer-
tanned that the colored man had seen
Uchinski some time previous TO that
holding a light brown chicken in his
hands as though talking to it. He
declared that Uchinski had been loaf
ing around the stable for several
weeks
The co'ored man declared he did
not see Uchinski walk away with
the chicken, but Just seemed to be
"admiring" IT, The evidence was
strong enough however, to cause
Grabowsh to swear out a warrant
for Uchinsld's arrest, and was also
strong enough, in Magistrate Gluek-
mans opinion. to warrant his being
held for upper court. The man Sc
cured bail for his appearance.

other at $780, He stated to Mr.
Davis that he would like to purchase
the $500 ring for his wife, who really
desired an automobile, but as there
was no place except Philadelphia 20
go in the machine to buy a good
dinner" he had decided TO purchase
the ring to match some of the other
diamonds his wife had. As a bluff
he pulled out about $1,000 and offered
$3.50 less than the ring was worth.
At various times he met Mr. Davis
afterward and did enough negotiating
about the ring to purchase a steel
MILL He bought articles in the
store, and had a solid gold pencil
repaired. Mr. Davis still has the
pencil.
When the time was ripe the man
offered a check for the $500 asked for
ring. Mr. Davis had become suspi-
I tious by this time. and refused to ac-
cept the check. The man asked fOr
il back, saying he would cash It and
come back In the morning. He also

The suitcase was of peculiar design
and through this clue he was arrest.
