COMMITTED AT MADISON

AS Member Of Gang; North
western Read Loses Heavily

A series of cigarette robberies that
dollars, that have been puzzling North
western road officials for the past six
months, was believed to have been
uncovered Friday at Madison with
the arrest and alleged confession of
Walter Hanson, Northwestern road
switchman.
Hansen pleaded guilty when ar
raigned in superior court and was re-
lmanded by Judge Henry Casson to the
custody of the sheriff.

eral cartons of cigarettes were found
in his garage.

! Freight cars containing cartons of
cigarettes were switched over to the
tracks near the packing plant. The
seals were broken, and the cartons
thrown into Hanson's auto waiting
there to convey the stolen goods to
his garage, it is claimed.

in the east end, it is said, offering to
sell them cigarettes at bargain prices.
| One dealer bought Is cartons at $50
each. Other dealers have also bought
large amounts from Hanson at his
Especial rates.
Hanson's customers are believed to
have had no knowledge that the goods
! were stolen as the story handed out
by the cigarette salesman" seemed
perfectly straight.
Hanson concealed the cigarettes un-
der a rag carpet on the back seat OF
his car and then drove from dealer
to dealer.
! Northwestern road officials have
been attempting since last February
/ to solve the mystery of the cigarette
