(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. Fret| Grimm, was stolen from th® office of that concern. The pockets of the trousers con tained about |47.00 in money, a 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.
