WITH WIRE HOOK

A discriminating thief
hooked two mink stoles
worth $500 each out of q
downtown fur shop window
early today with q long
piece of wire.
Police patrolmen diScov-
cred the theft at $50 am.
when they saw a foot
square hole in the display
window Of Miller's Furs,
Inc. at 1891 @ street NV.
They theorized. accord
ing to Isadore Miller. the
owner. that the thief
punched the hole through
the glass and then used
the wire to take the pastel
stoles of the racks. The g.
foot length of wire was left
behind in the window.
Several fur coats also
were left behind on their
mannequins, probably too
heavy for the wire.
