GAS METER ROBBERIES
Streets in Vicinity of Walnut Hill
Visited by Slick Pair of Crooks
About Thefts Reported.

The New Britain Gas company has
been the victim of numerous gas meter
robberies over the weekend, and have
offered reward of $50 for information
leading to the arrest of the men who
were working in the vicinity of Hart,
Camp and Grand street last Friday and
Saturday.
Harry Sloper Of the Gas company said
this morning that some six or eight
places were robbed and have been re-
ported to the police. The only clue to
the suspects that Mr.. Sloper has on
hand is that they were a kind of a
"Mut and Jeff pair. One of the men
would ring the bell and engage the
lady in conversation while the other
would rob the meter. 1t is not likely
that the pair will work in this city
again, as their methods are known,
and every housewife should be on her
guard.
