ENTRANCE. 10 SHOP
John D. Walker Cigar Factory at Mar.
ket,and Front Streets Burglarlzed
Last Nlght-Amount Of Goods
Stolen Not Yet Known.

..
The John D. Wllker Cigar Com
pany's store and factory at the cor
ner Of Front and Narket streets was
entered by a thief q thieves last night
but Just how much Of value the in
truders took away nth them is not as
yet known by the police or by Mr..
Walker.
Entrance was gSined by breaking
the glass In the door on the Market
street side Of the building. When the
glass was broken the thief could reach
the spring lock on the inside of the
door and enter.
1t is the suggestion of the police
that the thief chose time when a
heavy freight traih was passing on
the G. & o. railroad to break the
glass so that the noise of the crash
could not be heard by the policeman
on the beat or by the several night
watchmen in that district. The scene
of the theft is In the very heart of the
city and the sound of the crashing
glass could have been heard all over
the square In the quiet OF the night
had 1t not been that the sound of q
passing train drowned the crash.
Investigation this morning by Mr.
Walker and HIS employees when they
learned Of the theft by the broken
glass door, shows that the cash draw.
er in the retail store was searched and
all Of the money taken out. Just how
much money was In the drawer is no,
known but it is thought that 1t was
probably little more than two dollars
At closing time each evening Mr.
Walker balances UP his cash and
leaves one dollar In change in the
drawer for the early morning clsto.
mers while quite a number of pennies
for odd change are left in the drawer
at all times.
Whether there was any cigars anG
tobacco stolen is not known but it Ii
more than likely that the thief OF
thieves helped themselves to a supply
of cigars and tobacco, a large supply
of which was to be found in the show
cases and on the shelves in the retail
store.
The factory adjoining the retail
store and connected with it does no
seem to have been bothered by tn,
prowlers but a thorough investigation
has not yet been made.
The matter has been reported to tn,
police and Officer P. Ryan has made
complete investigation. Up to tn,
present time he has no clue upol
which to work but expects to keep a
the Job until something turns up tina
may lead to the arrest of the robbers

Religious Crank Arrested Here Today Thought
to Be the Murderer

car and got of at the foot of Court
street. He walked directly to the Court
House and began begging saying that
he wanted to 60 to Bass, Ind, where
he had relatives. The officers at the
station realized that this was the man
they wanted for Russell at once and
they began to question him. AS soon
as he gave his name as Albert Thomp-
son the police thought there must be
something strange as they remember
ed that this was the name of the vic
tim of Cincinnati famous Sack MUIR
der" and they began to investigate
further. Finding that their visitor was
a religious crank, the police became
more interested and went carefully
into the case.
The man says he was in Cincinnati
about a week ago but that he was
shipped out of the city by an Employ
ment Bureau for point In North
Carolina. Taking sick on the train
he said he left the train in West vir-
ginia and was trying to get back to
his home in Bass, Ind. The home Of
the supposed Cincinnati murderer is
in Elkhart, Ind, and the police ques-
toned him about that city. He talked
very much about it but said his home
was in Bass, Ind.
Feeling certain that they had the
man who is wanted in connection with
the most terrible murder m recent
years in this section of the country,
the police placed the man In the local
Jail and talked with Cincinnati Of
ficials over long distance telephone.
The Cincinnati authorities told the 10
cal officials to hold the man in Jail
here and the Coroner will probably
send an officer here tomorrow to iden-
tify the crank. y ss1=-'sT
No murder in Cincinnati since the
Pearl Bryan case has attracted more
attention than this famous Sack Muir
der" and it is more than likely that
the Maysville police have arrested the
man the authorities want II this re-
ligious crank is not the actual mur-
derer the authorities will be able to
learn more about the case from him

HERE.

Cinclnnatl's greatest late murder
mystery may have been solved In
MaysyilIe this afternoon when relig.
ious crank who gave his name as AL.
bert Thompson walked into police
headquarters begging and was placed
under arrest by Officers p. Ryan and
william T0lle.
The stranger was arrested because
he gave the name Of Albert Thompson
which Is the name Of the young man
found murdered in Cincinnati several
days ago and whose body was cut into
pieces and placed In sacks In an un.
used room. When the body was dis.
covered life had been gone for several
days and after several days of investi.
cation police and cOroner's officers
came to the conclusion that ThOmp.
son was murdered by religious
crank with whom he had been asso.
ciating for several days In Cincinnati
beOre the murder.
The man arrested here this ater-
noon answers all the descriptions Of
suspected murderer He is feet 5
inches tall. brown hair, blue uniform
coat and cap and grey overcoat. In
his pockets the police found large
amount of Salvation Army literature
and he is a religious crank, talking
religion at every possible opportunity
and showing that he is demented from
his actions.
Shortly after noon the local police
received a telegram from the c. & o.
yards at Russell to arrest man an
swering this. description who was
coming West on a freight train and
hold him. The police searched the
train but it is now supposed that the
crank must have left the train at
Springdale and walked down to the
end of the car line. He caught a street

than any other person for he was with
Thompson constantly for several days
before his mysterious murder.
When asked about the murder in
the local police station this afternoon
the arrested man said he was in Gin
cinnati but had nothing to do with
any murder.
It is more than likely that the mys-
terry will be solved by this man.

in the laying of the barrage, said that
Pat Murphy Florida politician and lob
byist who is described as being always
on the winning side, picked Pensacola
as a winner from the start and that
he based his faith on his prophecy that
this city would win.
IF Pensacola does not get the CEN
tennial she deserves to have again the
curse put on her by that old Catho-
lie priest hundred years ago." John
S. Beard said.
Il never heard of Jacksonville want
ing to divide up anything except when
she couldn't get it ALL" he said. He
called the attention of the statement
made to the purchase commission to
the concurrent resolution passed by
former Senator Jones in 1915, designat-
ing Pensacola as the centennial city,
to the committee of so appointed from
this city to carry them out, to the
further plan to appoint a committee 70
go to Washington to get an appropria-
ton, to the passage of the bill authoriz-
ing an appropriation of S5oo,ooo Tor the
Pensacola centennial
Now that the legislature has ap-
proved the resolution three different
times" he said. I'VE have simply to
carry out its three ?times expressed
wish.
Jacksonville is no more prepared
for the centennial than Pensacola. She
can no more than meet her ordinary
demands The same thing is true here
So Jacksonville and Pensacola both
start out even in this respect.
From 1876 when the centennial or
the signing of the declaration of inde-
pendence was celebrated until the ex-
position in San Francisco the govern
ment has always made an appropriation
and she will do the same for Pensa-
cola.
Here the change of flags took place
here General Jackson himself was IN
command while in st. Augustine there
was only a staff officer in charge
st. Augustines claim does not equal
Pensacola's but she is not claiming
the centennial; she is only backing
Jacksonville. When the transfer tool

known as a ..cowford." She is not 81
