For some time past fruit dealers along
North Main street have been annoyed by
youthful depredations. II has been the
custom of the younger set who loiter
about the streets until rather late hour
tU-take what fruit is within reach when
the owners are busted within with GUS
toners. Last evening couple of urchins
were plying their task when one of
the local officers of the police station
happened along. The youngsters spied
the officer and ran up Main street. With
the officer in pursuit the youngsters set
a pace too lively for the blueeoated man.
The sprint up the street attracted an ex-
large gathering as the sprint
ers disappeared about the city building. |
The last seen of the bearers OF the stoi- |
en- fruit was when they disappeared at |
the Montpelier & Wells River freight |
yards.

HOHL MARRIED BERTHA
HOLTZMAN HERE IN 1911

Frank G. Hohl, the Harrisburg ban
dit shot to death by the Cincinnati DO
lice yesterday, married his first wife,
who was Miss Bertha Hoffman, of Har-
risburg, on February 20, 1911, the cere-
mony having been performed by Alder
man Charles P. Walters, at the mag
istrate 5 office in this city. The bank
robber and slayer of a Cincinnati po-
hceman, a short time before his first
wedding, had been paroled from the
Eastern penitentiary to which institu-
tion he had been committed on charge
of robbing freight ears in Lemoyne.
The girl he married is daughter of
the Frank and Lucy Hoffman. So far
as could be learned the Hoffman fam
lily moved to Harrisburg from Lebanon
county a dozen or more years ago.
Frank Hoffman, now dead, was twice
married, two sons having been born by
the first match, one of whom is George
Hoffman, of this city.
The wife Of the bank robber was a
daughter by the second marriage. Frank
Hoffman was butcher by trade and
lived IN this city, at different times, on
Cameron and Fulton streets. After
the death OF Mr.. Hoffman his widow
remarked and moved out of the city.

LEADING TO ARREST OF

When the first report of the
daring robbery of the Union bank,

made to the police in this city, Chief
OF Police Hutchison was so impressed
with the daring of the robber that ne
Immediately associated with the crime

penalty with his life. The first clue as
to the identity of the Altoona robber
was furnished by Chief Hutchison and
on this information was the bandit
identified. The subsequent arrest of
Hohl in Salem, O., was direct result
of the information furnished by Chief
HutehisOn.
Lieutenant McIlvane and Inspector
Turney, of the Pennsylvania railroad
police in Altoona, came to Harrisburg
on March "a, the day following the AL
tOona robbery, having learned that a
package had been sent from Altoona
to this city and believing that it con
tained the stolen money.
The following day Chief Hutchinson
telephoned to Chief of Police Tillard,
of Altoona, that he believed Hohl was
the bandit. He followed that long
distance call with a letter in which ne
enclosed photograph of Hohl taken
when he was in the Eastern peniten-
tiary. The bank authorities failed TO
identify the photograph but the board
ing house keeper and the employees of
the restaurant where Hohl took his
meals in Altoona positively identified
the photograph and on the strength of
that the lookout - notices were issued
to all of the police departments in the
country. Also on the ''look- -out' were
