RO6BEDA GROCERY,
ESCAPED IN AN
AUTOMOBILE
THIEVES ENTER CAHN'S GROCERY
STORE AND THEN TAKE J. B
ABRAMS’ AUTOMOBILE TO GET
OUT OF THE C TY.
Rubbing a grocery store and then
"swiping'' an automobile to make
their exit from the city, was the
record of thieves in ihe city early
yesterday mom ng. who worked so
quietly that the robber r s were not
discovered until tile grooeryman open
ed his store and the automobile owner
missed his machine.
The store of Louis Calm on New
castle Street was the one entered.
3 iie ihiet mail - his entry by pulling
the staple to the lock. He was evi
dently only in search ot money and
visited the sate, succeeding in open
ing it and took what cash the money
drawer contained. Nothing else was
missi and by Mr. Calm.
When J. B. Abiams went out early
In the morning and looked in front
of his residence his automobile was
missing. He at first, thought some
one had probably played a joke on
him. but, as he could not locate the
machine in the city ho began to think
that It had been stolen. Later In the
day it was found near the Six Mile
Crossing. Whoever the robber was
evidently understood how to operate
the machine, as Mr. Abrams states
that the steering gear was out of
order and he also removed a small
piece of the machinery when be left
the auto in fiont of his residence for
the night.
It is believed that the thief planned
to rob the grocery store and (lien
take the machine to make his escape.
Whether he intended stealing the ma
chine or merely using it to get out of
the city, of course, is not known. It
is thought the robber hoarded one of
the early morning trains at Ihe cross
ing.
There is absolutely no clue as to
the guilty person or persons.
