SHREWD THIEVES ARRESTED.
BI T THEY WERE NOT SHREWD
ENOUGH FOR SAVANNAH.
Have Gotten Away, However,
Had They Not Thought the Town
SO Easy—^one Theft, Accidentally
Discovered, Led to Their Arrest.
Used a Telescope Valise, Which
One Man Loaded With Goods While
His Partner Engaged the Attention
of the Salesman—Both Men Evi
dentally Professionals.
Ben Loeb and T. E. Hall, two of the
most daring and clever thievee that have
ever operated in Savannah, were captured
red-handed yesterday by Detectives Gar
rity and Shea.
Loeb and Hall reached Savannah Tues
day afternoon, and immediately went to
work, I. >1- Frank & Cos., on Broughton
street, being their first victims. They
continued operations yesterday morning,
an d within a few hours had stolen goods
valued at hundreds of dollars from I.
Epstein and Eckman & Vetsburg.
In each case their mode of operations
was the same: They went into the stores
pretending to be country merchants, buy
ing fall stock, and asked to be shown
various notions, principally gloves, hand
kerchiefs, end fine silks. They were taken
to the wholesale departments of these
various articles by a clerk whom Loeb,
who seemed to be the business partner of
the firm, kept busily engaged in quoting
and haggling ever prices and discounts,
while Hall, the other -partner, who car
ried a capacious and innocent looking
valise of the telescope style, unnoticed,
stowed away in it goods to the value of
a hundred dollars or more according to
the bulk of the goods, and the time he
could work unobserved. In each case
Loeb picked out a most substantial stock
of goods, which he asked to have packed,
paying that he would return os soon as
he could get a check cashed, and that he
would then pay for the stock, and give
the shipping directions. This game tie
worked in each of the stores from which
he got goods, and in no case was he
detected at the time, and hut for an ae
ildent, -would not have been detected at
nil. or not until so late that, both he and
his partner would have had the time to
e-scape.
The accident that led to the detection
of the fraud that had been perpetrated,
occurred in the store of I. M. Frank yes
terday morning. The bill of goods that
had been supposedly bought by the two
men the afternoon before had heen placed
aside, but another order coming in from
a country customer for a certain style
of gloves, one of the clerks, in looking
over the stock for the gloves, was led 'o
believe that there were some of the kind
wanted, sold to Loeb and Hall, and start
ed to look for them in that -lot of goods
To his surprise he found that there were
no gloves to be found in the assortment.
Knowing that they had been s'lected an l
p#t aside with the remainder of the order,
he at once reached the conclusion that
they had been stol n, and with e-juai rap
idity he decided that the pseudo mer
chants were the thieves. A telephone mes
sage was sent io the barracks for the de
tectives, and Messrs. Garrity and Shea
responded. To them ihe circumstances of
the case were told, and they were given
a thorough and accurate d'seription of
the man. Within ten minutes from the
time that they left the store they had
both prisoners, and w-ere on their way
back to Frank's to have them identified.
It seems that the thieves had decided
to make extensive hauls, while they were
about it, trusting to their daring and
cleverness not to be caught. So starting
out yesterday morning they had visited
the store of I. Epstein, and while Loeb
kept the clerk employed. Hall had not
only filled his telscope once with the best
silks he could get hold of, but had taken
it home, emptied it, returned to the store,
filled it the second time, and for th“
second time, got away with it, when he
was caught by the detectives. Previous
to his visit to Epstein's he hod gone to
Eckman & Vetsburg, and made a haul
of goods to the value of about SIOO.
Even up to the time of the capture of
the thieves, neither of the Congress street
houses knew that they had been robbed,
and their first intimation to that effect
was when they were called on by the de
tectives. and Bske*d to go to the barracks
and identify property supposed to be
their’s.
The men were arrested- in Johnson
square as they were on their way to their
room at No. 221 Congress street, east. Hall
walked ahead with the telescope, whi'e
I.*oeb came along behind. The detectives
knew them to be the men wanted as soon
as they saw them, so overtaking Loeb.
Garrity told him he was wanted. He
made no resistance, but Hall immediately
suspected that the game was up and at
tempted to escape by running. He went
dow’n Bryan street as far as Sullivan’s
bar, into which he turned, still carrying
the telescope, but he was so closely press
ed by Shea that he dropped it and at
tempted to get away by running through
the rear door of the bar. Before he could
accomplish this, however, the detective
caught him.
When the room of the men was searched
a trunk, a valise and a dress suit c‘ase
were found. In the trunk w r as stored most
of the plunder that had been secured from
Erkman & Vctsburg. and from Epstein,
while the other receptacles contained the
Personal effects of the men. In them were
found no letters or papers that threw’ any
light on the past history or nets of the
men. To the detectives they said that they
here from New Orleans, and that
this is their first job. Little credence, how
ever. is given this story by the police au
thorities.
The men are well dressed and apparent
ly well to do. All of their wear is of the
best class. Nearly all the ties that were
found in the valise are marked Kansas
Olty, which leads the police to believe
that they, or at least one of them, spent
*ome time in that city. The trunk bears
various marks showing that it has travel
ed all the way from Portland, Oregon, via
San Francisco to numerous cities of the
West before it reached here.
Thp men will be measured and photo
graphed this morning and the police au
thorities of Kansas City and New Orleans
furnished photos and measurements and
asked if the men are wanted in cither of
those cities.
DIDN'T WA\T IT THAT WAY.
Kloctrle Llalit Company's Position
In Wells Dnniaae Salt.
Mr. A. C. Wright, counsel for the Brush
Electric Light and Power Company in the
famous damage suit brought against it by
Kebecca Wells, says that the account of
the proceedings in the motion for anew
trial before Judge Norwood, that appear
in yesterday’s Morning News, do€ not
correctly state the position of Mr. Saussy
an d himself.
Counsel for the defendant, said Mr.
"right, do not oppose the grant of the
n '*v trial for which they have moved the
J® u rt; they do not wish to have Judge
Norwood grant it merely because counsel
for the plaintifT is willing, ignoring the
principal ground of error upon which their
lotion is based. This principal ground is
that Judge Norwood erred in refusing to
Brant a non-suit and, in submitting the.
consideration of the evidence in the case
to the Jury.
"hen on Tuesday, therefore, Judge Nor-
Wr od announced that he would grant the
trial, but that at the same time he
held to the view of the,law that he has
formerly entertained and, practically, that
*> n the same evidence he w’ould again gub-

Beauty is made or marred by the blood.
When the blood is impure, the cheeks
grow sallow, the eyes dull, the hair loses
its luster. When the blood flows through
w the veins in a pure, rich current, the
eyes sparkle, the skin is clear, the com
plexion beautiful. Women who use Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, find
that it is a genuine beautifier. By puri
fying and enriching the blood it puts a
bloom on the cheek and a brightness in
the eye, which tell the story of perfect
health/
"Having been left weak from fever last Oc
tober. I was under the doctor’s care here,” writes
Mrs. Alice E- Casebier, of Crawford, Dawes Cos..
Neb. "I took medicine, but did not seem to
gain very much. I was tired all the time, had
no appetite, had wandering pains all over me
more or less, and was very nervous, as I had
been sick all the summer. I was all run-down
and didn’t know what ailed me. I got advice
from Dr. Pierce, telling me my symptoms better
than I could describe them myself, ana also telling
me that I would have to take care of myself, aud
how to take the medicines. I took four bottles
of ’Golden Medical Discovery,’ and five of ‘ Fa
vorite Prescription,’ and gained strength right
along I took one bottle of the * Pleasant Pel
lets.' also. I know that these medicines will do
all that they are recommended to do.”

mil the case to the jury, counsel for the
defendant protested.
If Judge Norwood grants the new trial
under such circumstances the defendant
will pimply be put to the expense of a
fifth hearing, while if he grams it because
his action in refusing a non-suit was not
proper, this will virtually end the suit. If
he refuses the trial, on this ground,
the case may be carried to the Su
preme Court and the point of law that
counsel considers really and primarily at
issue may be finally determined.

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY - , AUGUST 2, 1900.
THE LAW VOW AFFECTED.
Freight tar* Mast Have Airbrakes
and Automatic Couplers.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
will probably be looking out for violations
of the law demanding that all freight
cars in the United States be equipped
with airbrakes and automatic couplers.
Yesterday was the day fixed for the law
to become effective, but it is believed
■there are few of the roads in the country
that have so equipped all their cars. In
fact, it is well known that the majority
have not done so. Nearly', if not quite,
all have begun the work, but it is proba
ble that the word “several” could include
those that have finished it.
The Central, the Plant System, the Sea
board and the Southern have all been at
work on their freight cars, but it is said
their shops are still busy making the ad
ditions. From time to time extensions
were granted, the roads having been un
able to equip their cars within -the limit
first specified. Some months ago it was
declared that all the lines entering Savan
nah had forces employed in putting on the
new attachments, which, by the way,
represent a considerable cost, but it was
not believed the work could be completed
within the time left by the last extension,
w hich was until Aug. 1.
It is believed the equipment of the
freight cars with air brakes and auto
matic couplers will be the means of pre
venting a great many disasters that now
befall freight trains. The Interstate
Commerce Commission. thinking this
would be the case, recommended that Con
gress pass such a law, and the congress
men seemed to view the matter In the
same light. It is said the railroads, once
the cost of the equipment has been de
frayed, will enjoy the advantage of few
accidents and, consequently, fewer dam
ages to repair and injury indemnities to
pay, besides being able to operate freight
trains with smaller crews.
THE DAY DROUGHT CHANGES.
Three Gentlemen Gave t'p Their Po
nttions With the Senhoard.
Yesterday, being the first of the month
and the date fixed for the termination of
the services of three gentlemen In the’r
old positions with the Seaboard Air Line,
saw their wilhdraw-al. One or ell of them
may continue with Ihe line in other ca
pacities. though it is said this has not
yet been arranged.
Mr. Allen, ticket agent under the Hus
sars* Armory, has closed up his office.
Mr. W. D. O’Dwyer has retired as trav
eling freight agent et Savannah, and Mr.
F. V. Peterson has given up the position
of traveling passenger agent. Their many
friends hope these gentlemen will soon
be cared ior with equally as advantageous
positions.
COLUMBUS EXCURSIONISTS.
Party of Some 250 Came in Yesterday
Over the Central.
A party of some 350 excursionists from
Columbus and that territory arrived by
the Central Railroad yesterday morning.
They were accompanied by Mr. L. A.
Camp, traveling passenger agent at Co
lumbus. The tickets read to Savannah,
but many of the excursionists went to
Tybee. Their tickets have a limit several
days hence, and it is probable that the
majority will not return until the limit
expires. Yesterday Mr. Camp took a num
ber of the visitors to the Ocean Steam
ship Company’s wharves, showing them
the vessels in port.
ARE FIGHTING SCALPERS.
Railroads Continue Efforts to I>rive
Them Ont of Hnsinena.
The railroads have not abandoned their
fight against the ticket brokers. They are
determined to suppress traffic in tickets
if possible. The difficulties they have en
countered in this effort have thus far
been insurmountable, but they still hope
for ultimate success.
One of the latest literary efforts that
railroads have directed against the scalp
ers is a pamphlet which tells about the
various cases before couris in different
states that have resulted in brokers being
sent to prison for forging tickets.
President John M. Egan of the Central
Railroad was in Augusta yesterday.
General Superintendent T. D. Kline of
the Central is out on the line of the
read.
Mr. Fred D. W’hite, commercial agent
at Montgomery for the Central Railroad,
will arrive in the city this morning with
a party of forty Montgomery citizens.
Who will take the Kansas City this morn
ing for New York.
CITY BREVITIES.
Mr. Daniel Zipperer, and Mr. S. M.
Davis, and a number of friends pic
nicked yesterday at the Hermitage. There
were about forty persons in the party.
The afternoon was pleasantly spent in
dancing, for which a string band had been
taken along.
WASHINGTON (GA.) NEWS.
Successful Entertainments for St.
Joseph's Orpliaungc.
Washington. Ga , Aug. I.—The excur
sion from Augusta for the benefit of St.
Joseph’s Orphanage was a grand succe s.
Nearly a thousand people came with the
excursion, and many more tickets were
sold, but Wx re forfeited on account of the
threatening weather. The day proved to
be a flue one, and the barbecue in the
practiced hands of Sheriff Callaway, was
one of his best. The ball game was the
prettiest exhibition of the national game
we have had this year, and resu ted in a
score of 2 to 0 in favor of Washington.
Short and Lafitte did the battery work
fer Washington. Bohler and Norvell for
Augusta. It is estimated that the net re
ceipts from the barbecue, ball game and
excursion will amount to $609, which will
go to the Orphanage.
The knilting mill is now running on full
time, but is rot able to keep up with its
orders. The daily capacity of the mill
is a hundred dozen ribbed undervests.and
th*se goods are shipped all over the Unit
ed States. They are now inak ng garments
from mercerized cotton, which makes a
beautiful artlee. resembling silk very
closely.
Judge Reese has re-sentenced Dillard
Herndon for the murder of John Lovin

Aug 17. The old man was a pitiable spec
tacle when he received sentence. Too
weak to rise, he had to be supported on
both sides as he stood to hear his doom.
He refuses to at and Is thought to b*
