ROBBERY AT ROCHESTER
Nearly Six Thousand DoIIors Worth
Of Goods Were Stolen.

Of Goods Were Stolen.
3. Rochester. November 15.-One OF
the most daring and successful rob-
berries in the history of the city was
perpetrated Sunday evening or early
Monday morning when the Lyman
store was looted Of goods valued at
IS, 695. according to statement made
today by Manager Klindt. The rob-
berry was not discovered until the
store was opened this morning when a
check Of the stock showed that four
teen fur coats and eight fur capes and
scarfs, all of the best quality were
missing. One Of the fur capes; made
of mink. was valued at 1915. The loss
Is practically covered by burglary in
surance.
The police were Immediately mott
fed and Developments this morning
led the authorities to believe local
talent was responsible. The evidence
showed that entrance was gained
through the skylight leading from the
roof OF the old telephone office.
through which part of the building the
thieves probably entered. A Jimmy, a
brace and bit We're found in the phone
onice together with a quantity of pa
per and twine, part Of the material
used in wrapping the stolen goods. No
definite clues have been discovered.
A more detailed examination of the
premises shows the doors on the low
er floor where the goods had been
stored or hanging on racks. had NOT
been opened. It is thought that the
stolen pronerty was taken out through
the skyHght Of the store, probably by
means of a rope. down through the
skvlfght Of the old telephone Office
and down the front stairs to the
street. A table, piled WITH chairs, di-
rectly beneath the skvlight in the
store. was evidently used to facilitate
he passing of the f,,rs out through
the window and to aid the person or
persons doing the inside work in MAX
iD9 their escope. :.
Patrolmen making their rounds dur.
ing the night, as usual tried both front
and rear doors and found them secure
~ locked and nothing suspicious was
not1ced while the robbery was sup
posed to have taken place.
The police are of the opinion that a
car was used to carry away the goods.
