Should it be impossible to procure
them fresh, canned shrimps are al

5-4--Other Items of Interest.

Entering through the back door
burglars last night got away with
about $500 worth of merchandise
from the store of James Perotta in
Kensington. Berlin police are work
ing on the case.
The hour of the robbery cannot be
determined but it is thought that the
men, if there were two of them, en-
tered the place at about o'clock.
Constable Frank Brown was on the
scene this morning and he took an
inventory of the articles stolen. The
list included shirts, carriers, handker-
chiefs, socks, ladies' stockings and
baseball. Almost all of these articles
were taken in dozen lots @
The burglars also attempted to
enter the store of Frank Fagliatta,
which is next door. In this case they
pushed part of an old pair of stairs
up to one of the back windows and
smashed the glass. Evidently they
were frightened away, as nothing was
taken and there are no signs to in
dictate that they went further than
breaking the glass. 1t is, thought
that they waited until train went
by before breaking the window, as
Mr.. Fagliatta sleeps in a room Jover
the store and did not hear any sounds.
Previous to the robbery Kensing-
ton man claims to have seen a col
ored man standing near the railroad
overpass on the Kensington road.
When asked where he was going he
said that he was on his way to Meri-
den. The man offered to take him
to Meriden, but the negro declined
the invitation.
