Nab Foreman for Factory
Robbery; Washstand
Is Part of His Loot

Confessing, the police say, that he
had robbed the Croker Wheeler
Company Ampere section of East
Orange, of small articles valued at
$57 during the past year, Gilbert R.
Streeter, of 80 Myrtle street, Bloom
field, formerly employed as a fore
man by the concern, today was held
in 5000 bail for the grand jury by
Recorder Mott in the East Orange
Police Court.
Joseph Peterson, one time boarder
of Streeter, who worked under the
foreman at the plant, admitted he
took the goods stolen by Streeter to
the latter's home, but he pleaded that
he did not know the foreman was
stealing the articles. 1t was through
a signed confession made to officials
of the works by Peterson that the
men were arrested.
Detective David Wendell was sent
| to the works yesterday afternoon,
and after questioning the workmen
he says he secured confession of
their guilt.
Peterson told today how Streeter
had lowered washstand from an
upper floor of the works at o'clock
in the morning and he walked out of
the yard with it. He declared his
foreman would give him a pass for
the bundles, which were to be taken
from the plant at night. Peterson
was paroled for the grand jury.
