Taken in Connection With
Attempt to Rob McDer-
mott Drug Store.
HOFFMAN IS IN JAIL
Sheridan Road Inn Patrons
Taken and Claim Made that
Booze Was Sought.

E. G. Hoffman, Mary Connors, Joseph
Palise, better known as "Joe the Wop"
and James Brady were arrested just
before three o'clock this morning by
Police Officers Captain Wade, Kirsch
and Long following an attempt to
burglarize the McDermott drug store
on Sheridan road at the south limits
of the city. No entrance to the place
had been made but one of the rear win
dows to the place had been "jimmied"
and the police officers surprised Palise
and Brady in the act of making the
attempt to enter the place. While it is
the opinion of the police that the
burglary was to be "booze robbery"
there is nothing in the statements
made by the people under arrest to
indicate that this was the fact. 1t was
admitted by the police department that
the drug store had been watched for
some time in anticipation of an at
tempt at burglary and that the Of
ficers were laying in wait for the
men arrested when they approached
the window of the building.
All from Sheridan Road Inn.
While the Connors woman and Brady
said that they resided in Chicago, the
police said that all of the parties to
the attempt at burglary had been at
the Sheridan Road Inn earlier in the
morning Hoffman, who is widely
known in certain circles in the city,
has been see much about the Sheridan
road place and Palise has been con-
nected with the road house.
Palise and Brady were arrested by
the police officers just before half past
nors woman were taken into, custody
by the same officers half an hour later.
They were in an automobile block
away from the scene of the attempted
burglary. Not one of the people ar
rested made any statement. The Con-
nors woman was taken to the county
jail and the other three members of
the party to the city lookup.
The arrest of Hoffman caused some
thing of a sensation. He has been we'll
known about Kenosha and recently an
nounced that he was collecting money
for the support of hospital in Mil
waukee to be used for the care of men
who had been in service. Police say
that he had been closely connected
with the operation of the Maple Inn.
1t was said this afternoon that the
police received their "tip" from
woman residing in the neighborhood
and who was we'll known to the per-
sons implicated in the case. The po-
lice did not care to discuss this aspect
of the case.
