A HOLE IN THE WALL.
Barglars Dig Into Mutloy Muiloy’ $Grocery Store
On Broad Street, ie
A burglar and a jimmy. gouged a
‘hole a foot and a half square last night
in the east wall of Charles BE. Mulloy’s
grocery store On Broad street. After
the man had removed the bricks and
mortar, which were about twenty
inches thick in all and very soft so as
to admit of easy picking, he sawed off}a scantling that was in the way'on the
inside, and ‘then apparently left without going into the store. He had
broken into the rear frame addition tc
Charles E. Wild's barber-shop and
worked from there The saw used was
one owned by Mr. we and kept in the
addition.
The appearance of the hole: and the
fact that so far as has-yet been ascertained nothing in the stora was disturbed, indicate that the burglar was
interrupted at his work before he could
go through the building. Wm. Craig’s
saloon, adjoining the barber shop, was
open till midnight, and O. J. Naffziger’s
meat market, a little further down the
-street, opens between four and five
o'clock -in the morning. Thus the
operations of the thief were probably
interrupted.
It is believed the man who did the
digging had a confederate, although
the tracks of but one man. showed in
the frost on the porch back of the barbershop. On the right foot he wore u
boot or shoe, and the left one was bare.
When Craig’s saloon was burglarized u.
short.time since the eperguers right
foot was bare.
