Thieves ROB
GREENVILLEP.O.
Extract Valuables From
Parcel Post Packages
During Night
GOT AWAY IN
MOTOR CAR

Thieves entered the Greenvilie
postohice. on the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad about II o'clock
last night. and broke open a num-
Der of parcel post packages and ex-
tracted valuables from them. Just
how valuable the contents of these
packages were could could not be
learned. since the postmaster, John
W. Wharton. did not know what
was in them.
The wrappers were torn from sew
eral packages and the hoxes and
other containers strewn about the
floor of the postofice Entrance
was gained by breaking a window
with a plank taken from the lumber
yard Of Green and Finn. a short
distance from the postofice.
The thieves evidently had nerve.
The Kennett pike is about ten feet
distant from the rostofiice, and many
motor cars pass along it as late as l 1
and II O'Clock at night. About the
time 70 the robbery an automobile
was seen standing at some distance
down the pike from the postofiice.
This would indicate that the robbers
used a motor to aid in getting away
with the loot.
Detectives Of the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad. in whose station
he postofIice is located, are working
on the case.
