After 7 Years
By the Assoeiated Press

NEWARK, N. j., April "a
Police today pressed their pants

his first floor apartment, he
reached for his trousers. They
were missing. So was a wallet
containing $100. A window
nearby had been forced open.
Investigation showed that the
f1rst pants theft in seven years
had the trademark of the still
unidentified burglar who in 1947

stealing-sent a postcard read
ing:
"Newark's headaches are over.

and am regretfully moving on"
The card was signed The Pants
Man"
After that the pants Man"
showed in Washington, D. C.
Some time later, the police in the
Capital got a postcard from
Miami. This one read:

season in our Capital City. Now

For the past seven years, New
