FORMER GARRETT COUNTY
MAN NABBED FOR THEFT
Edward M. Gilpin, Native of Dis
trict No. 1, Arrested in Park
ersburg, West Va.

Charged with the larceny of articles
from interstate shipments of baggage,
covering period of severay months,
Edward M. Gilpin, 81 years of age,
whose home is at SOC Woodside ave-
nue., Cumberland, and who is a native
of Swanton, this county, train bag
gageman of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, was arrested at Parkers-
burg, West Va, Friday morning by
Harry D. Schmidt, captain of police of
the Parkersburg Division of the Bal
timore and Ohio.
When arraigned before U. S. Com
missioner J. E. Burk at Parkersburg
Friday afternoon, Gilpin pleaded gull
ty, according to Captain Schmidt. He
was committed to Jail in default of
5000 bond to await the action of the
Federal grand jury at Wheeling, W.
Va, in October.
Gilpin has been in the service of
the Baltimore and Ohio for 81 years,
and is well known in Oakland and at
other points in Garrett county.
Among the articles alleged to have
been stolen by Gilpin, on his regular
train between Cumberland and Park
ersburg and which have been recov-
cred by Captains Schmidt and Chap
man are jewelry and women's apparel
valued at more than $500.
The case against Gilpin was inves-
tigated by Captains Schmidt and
Chapman for the railroad company,
following complaints, from time to
time, from passengers, that their bag
gage had been robbed.
