Nov ears was loaded with packing cases

fartnrer 10 a retail establishment in
Baltimore.
The thieves had the car carefully

easily be opened.

two men left the passenger coach in
which they were sitting and climbed
forward over the box cars until the.
reached the ono containing the cases of
suit, In some manner they reached
down and pried the door back. Then
