SNEAK THIEF ROBS HER
Proprietor of a Confectionery

in Broad Daylight.
WELL DRESSED YOUNG MAN
Says She Talks About Theft to
Warn Others Despite Re
quest of Detective.
A thief robbed Mrs. Catherine 1
Brown, who conducts a confection
ary establishment at 225 Main ave
nue, in broad daylight yesterday
afternoon, through a clever yet sim
ple ruse. The thief entered the
store, asked to be accommodated
with change for a two-dollar bill. I
and as Mrs. Brown extended the
change in her hand it was grabbed.
The sneak thief then ran from the
place and disappeared, making good
his escape.
Frightened by the boldness of the
innn. Mrs. Brgwn suffered a severe
nervous attack, but succeeded in com i
muuicating with police headquarters;
almost immediately. A detective nus,
detailed on the ease, but failed to make
any headway looking toward the ap
prehension of the nervy daylight
maurauder. ' i
“The man must have waited his op-1
portunity to enter my store when 1 was I
alone,’’ said Mrs. Brown in relating the[
circumstances to a reporter for The |
Light and Gazette. “Ue entered just. I
after the driver who furnished me with
my supplies had departed, tliis being
about 4:30 o'clock. He was well dressed
in a dark suit of clothes, wore a dark
derby hat, was about five feet six inches
in height and appeared not to be over (
21 years old. lie had a very small
mustache, which seemed to be his first.
“He seemed so well attired that no
suspicion that he could be a crook
struck me,” continued Mrs. Brown. 1
“ But when lie placed the bill on the
counter, keeping one hand- on it and
the bill somewhat erumpled, I was im
pressed with its appearance, and now 1
that I know better I am inclined to I
think the bill was counterfeit. I placed ■
one silver dollar on the counter aud:
was in the act of getting the other!
change when he said something that I
detracted my attention and for au in-1
stant I held the other change in the
palm of my open hand. Quick as a 1
Hash he grabbed the money from me
taking his own bill with him and dashed i
out of the door. I screamed and started ।

he had turned the corner and was out
of sight, lie only got two dollars, but
the daring method enip loved is what so
startled me.
