AUTO LOAD
()F SILK
TAKEN
Case Regarded With Suspicion
Robbery Between Metuchen
and Highland Park.

That the silk thieves are still in ac-
ton, was found from the report OF
what appeared to be a. very daring and
well planned robbery to the Highland
Park and Metuchen police by Samuel
Osias of New York on Sunday morn
ing, who claimed to have been robbed
of an auto truck, loaded with silks,
furs and merchandise valued at -e0.-
600 and $43 of his own money.
Osias was the owner and driver OF
a green colored IL ton truck bear
ing the name on both sides of the
Mecca Touraine Chocolate Company,
was engaged by the Rosloff Motor
Express Company of New York to
transport the consignment from New
York to Wanamaker's store in hila.
delphia. From Philadelphia Osias
was to go to Pottstown, Pa. to get a
load of steel for truckman named
Benjamin Finberg, also Of New York,
and return to New York with the load.
1t was through Finberg that soft
Company secured 0sias, who dess5
that the truck be loaded both ways
The Rosof Company did not know
Osias, except to know that he did
trucking.
Osias stated that five men in au-
to accosted him near the Iselin Sta
ton late Saturday night. and re-
quested to know the contents of the
car, which he refused to disclose. A
short time after passing the CoIonia
Hospital, he was overtaken by the au-
to, and the five men were on the rum
ming board and several of them step
ped onto the running board of his
truck, ordered him to halt his car,
took $43 of his own money and then
dragged him from his truck and put
him on the smaller car.
He stated he rode for an hour
through roads he had not know before
and was left In a locality with which
he was not familiar. 1t was about
l o'clock Sunday morning when he
started walking in search of house
where he could telephone the report
of the robbery He claimed to have
walked for three hours, and first saw
light at the Lincoln Garage between
Metuchen and Highland Park about
$50 and found police headquarters
closed and instead of reporting to the
New Brunswick police, he waited un-
til o'clock for the station to open.
Chief of Police Hutchinson Of Me-
tuchen and Chief Bedford of Highland
Park visited the scene of the hold-up.
but no trace of the truck could be
found, and so Chief Bedford reported
the matter to the prosecutors office,
who assigned Chief of County De-
tectives Peltier and County Detective
David to the case. Peltier had Osias
committed to the County Jail as a.
material witness and the detectives ex-
pect to make an arrest very shortly.
The detectives and police working
on the case, regard the whole t.ffair
very suspiciously, due to the fact that
Osias left New York about SIS and
did not arrive around Iselin until
o o'clock He has not as vet stated what
took him so long.
During the early part of the year
Finberg reported the robbery of val
liable cargo of silks. near Monmouth
Junction and the robbers were never
