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.
