that is modern in this line.
There will be garage with room
for four cars, attached to the house,
where will be kept the splendid big
new automobile hearse which will be

bination and opened the machine
without ringing the bell, robbing the
drawer of $40 in bills. The police
were inclined to believe the feat was
impossible and the management of
the store. held the same views until
this morning when Newman, who
admitted footing the till, repeated the
trick for their benefit. It was easy
enough for him, but those whom he
instructed could not duplicate his
feat
The young man came here three
weeks ago and hired d room under the
name Of Jack Normandy, obtaining
q position with the tea company
sh ortly after coming to this city, He
was arrested this morning by Detec-
tive Wash burn, who was assigned to
apprehend Newman and confessed
he had robbed the store, He has
made partial restitution. The money
