POLICE SERGEANTS FIERCE EYES
CATCH MEN WITH SATCHEL OF GEMS
John Kker Looks at Strangers at Wayne Junction Station
Until They Get Nervous-Now They
Are in Jail

1t has been said of Sergeant John Kilter,
Of the Germantown police station, that he
has boring eye"-a police orb that bores
like an electric drill through the thickest
steel plate of criminal bluff to the bed rock
Of fact.
Today the drilling retinas Of Kiker's
magnetic eyes bored through a considerable
thickness of bravado and bluff, uncovering
an alleged $4,000 jewel robbery.
The sergeant was standing on the plat
form Of the Wayne Junction station of
the Reading Railway early today when
he was interested by the arrival of two
individuals One was a stockily built
man with a thick, red neck covered with
deep interlacing lines. like a map showing
the courses Of the ocean currents. This
man wore a nose which apparently had
been given little protection by the owner
for 1t listed badly to port side and the center
of the bridge was caved in. The fellow
carried large walrus skin grip. His COM
panion was tall, thin and very nervous with
an Adams apple that jumped under the
skin of his throat every time he swallowed.
The pair aroused instantly all of the police
instincts Of the sergeant, and, after his
custom, he Just stood and bored.
Results were forthcoming almost i'm.
mediately. The thick-necked individual put

to his companion, who swallowed nervously.

the-loop under the skin of his throat. Still
the sergeant bored and the hand of the
stout man gave the bag a few more rides
The pair began to move toward the end
Of the platform as If they had given up all
desire TO catch a train. Then the sergeant
acted. He approached his quarry quickly
what have you in the bag?" he inquired
briskly
That's my business" growled the thick
necked man.
"Once more" persisted the sergeant
quietly, "what have you in the bag?"
Few shirts and collars" compromised
the fellow.
"Open It up and let's see"
"Can't-lost the key"
"All right come with me to the station
house and we'll get key"
At the station the bag was forced open
and was found to contain a quantity Of
diamond rings, brooches watches, stickpins,
and other jewelry to the value OF $4,000.
The jewelry was stolen from the safe in the
store of A, w. Rublack, SO South Seventh

Hamburg.
The victims Of the lightning in the Pam
ther Creek Valley are George Sisco and
James Todd, both of Lansford. Andy VAL
lon, of No 10, sustained injuries which will
likely cause death.

tact with a high tension wire. The others
were employed by a construction company
at Spring Tunnel and were struck while
running on the railroad to seek shelter
Lightning struck a rail and followed it.
