The Bold Robbery Occurred in Broad
Day Light and in View of Many
Resident*, who Happened not to
See the Thief at Work—Mr. Fred
Gr.mm the Victim of the Theft.
(From Thursday’s Daily.)
One of the slickest thefts that
has been reported to the policemen
In some time, occurred on yesterday,
at the Atlas Copper Works* wheh a
pair of trousers belonging to Mr.

The pockets of the trousers con

watch, knife and some other arti
cles. They were hanging in the of
fice room, close to a window, the Out
er door of the office being locked. The
office Is cut off from the main part
of the factory, though a*door opens
Into the main building. ' /-
While the workmen were busily
engaged in hammering on the big
copper plates and soldering them to
gether, making them into stills and
worms, the thief cut the putty from
around the window pane with his
knife and lifted out the glass. Then
he gently drew the trousers through
the opening and departed.
The theft occurred just before noon
yesterday, the thief standing In full
view of the workmen of the Valdosta
Sash and Door Co., besides many
residents In that section of the city..
The footprints at the window’
show that the thief wore shoes with
rubber heels, the foot measuring
ay Company, and as twelve Inches In length which is about
up town.
He was met at the depot by a com
mittee, some wearing badges, and
was escopted to his present headquar

The unreliability of colored help
seems to have demanded the lmporta

but elsewhere In the state, and it
w-Ill not be long before colored help

Change their methods. This la to be
