Who Cracked the Money
Register atMasury
Hotel.
On? sfft' c and at the same
t.’rrc r-.cs: mysterious burglaries In
V:? ' '-rlcr:- cT Tkornasville occurred
at the Masury hotel at an early hour
yesterday morning.
The cash register was taken from
the office between 2 and 3 o’clock in
the morning, carried out into the va
cant lot across the street where Mr.
Quinn is preparing to eract a dwel
ling house and smashed upon 'with an
ax and ?27 removed therefrom.
That it was the work of exports
thero c an be no doubt. The ofUco
/
was brilliantly lighted with elec
tricity, it was a perfectly clear moon
light night and an arch light was
shining brightly on the corner of
Broad and Jefferson streets. One of
tho strangest things connected with
tho robbery is that $15 in bills was
loft untouched. ,It is supposed that
these vero Covered up by the broken
metal an dwood cf the register and
tho thieves did not see them.
When seen yesterday by a Times-
Enterprise reporter, Mrs..Epply made
the following statement: "The rob
bery occurred about 2 o’clock In the
morning. Wesley Williams, the
hackman who meet3 the trains for
the hotel during the night cable by
about that time and carried a guest
down to tho train from Savannah
hich was late. This guest paid the
ight clerk, Mr. H. G. Hatch, who
walked with hlpi to the door. The
porter went with ” the guest to tho
train. Mr. Hatch then came back
into the hotel, and knowing that the
hack would return from the tram in
a few minutes did not latch the
front door, but pushed it to, and
walked back into the waiting room
and sat down by the stove. He must
have fallen asleep. At any rate the
hackman returned in about half an
hour with* another guest. Mr.
Hatch was called into the office to
make some change so that tho in
coming guest could jjay his hack
fare. It was then Mr. Hatch dis
covered that the register was mis
ting. He immediately summoned the
police, and he and Mr. Dawkins went
down Jefferson street and the other
two officers went up Broad looking
for the register. In a few minutes
the officers who went up Broad called
that they bad found the register,
waa lying behind the little shed
room that Is being used by the work
men for their tools and material. The
ax that had be$n used In breaking It
open was lying nearby.
“No, I feel positive that none of
the help had anything to do with It, 1
Said Mrs. Epply. "None of the help
was awake except the porter and he
was at the train. Mr. Hatch I know
Is a perfectly honorable young man,
and besides he bad nothing to gain,
as he will have to make good the
loos, and has already partially done
so. Two kitchen boys in the back
part of the house were found fast
asleep immediately after the rob
bery.
“It was evidently two men who
were familiar with the hotel and who
had watched for Just this opportunity
when tho porter was.away and Mr.
Hatch was not In the front office.”
The city police have been thor
oughly investigating the afTalr but
np to a late hour last night there
were no developments that would
load to a tine.
