LETTERS FROM THE l'EOPLE.
(Under this heading short letters of In
terest will be published when accompa
nied, for publication, by tho writer's
nnme. The Tribune will not bo held re
sponsible for opinions hers expressed.)
Those Shoplifters.
Ed'lor of The Tribune.
Dear Sir The police force of this cltv.
led by Chief Simpson, are doing their
best to cover themselves with glory over
tne recent arrest of the Italian gang of
shoplifters, who, during the past few
mnoths, have stolen goods from the
merchants of Scranton worth a good
few thousands of dollars. Now, the
fact of the matter Is simply this: the
police are deserving of the severest
censure for their action in the whole
preliminary proceedings, as they posi
tively did nothing whatever to run
down the gang, and had it not been for
the untiring energy of G. L. Ackerman,
Jeweler 24 Wyoming avenue, the
thieves would undoubtedly have re
mained unmolested still.
Briefly stated, the facts of the case
are as follows: A week ago Mr. Ack
erman lost two solid gold watches, and
In thinking the matter over had no dif
ficulty In placing the theft at the door
of the Italians who were yesterday
brought before Alderman Millar. Be
lieving that the shoplifting was the
work of shrewd professionals, he at
once set out to find if his brothers In
trade had suffered likewise. The re
sult was that almost every Jeweler In
the city was caught the same way, and
a comparison of events and notes led
to the belief that the thieves resided in
the city.
Before any action was taken Chief
Simpson was notified, and all the In-
formation at command was placed be.
fore him. His nnswers to questions,
etc., simply amounted to this in suo
stance: "You locate the thieves and
I'll see they're prosecuted," but from
the day Information was first given by
Mr. Ackerman he did not, so far as we
know, budge a peg to search for them.
About noon on Friday last Officer
Melnzer, then on duty on Lackawanna
avenue, saw one of the Italian women
in the store of Edwin O. Lloyd. Mr,
Pryor, an employe, recognized the
woman as leader of the gang and passed
the word to Mr. Ackermun and the
officer, meanwhile shadowing her as
she left the store, till he came up with
Melnzer, who knew she was wanted.
For some mysterious reason that officer
wanted to change his clothes, although
he could have placed his hand upon her
and taken her in, and while he was en
gaged working up 'his mystery the
woman escaped, going to Green Ridge,
presumably, on the noon train.
These facts rekindled the belief that
the thieves belonged to town, and
seemed to be perfectly well known, yet
tne police were still Inactive, waiting
for something to turn up. Seeing that
the police would or could do nothing,
although one of the officers was In a po
sition to identify the lender, Aekermnn
kept up his .Bearch and on Monday
spotted the same woman with three
men on Spruce street. Once more an
officer had to be sent for, and Melnzer
came along again and picked up the wo
man he had already let go. After her
arrest hours were wasted with non
sense and Inactivity. The three men
were allowed to go and got home
ahead of the police quite a long time.
As a result none of the valuable Jew
elry or diamonds stolen have been
found, the thieves being allowed ample
time to place or dispose of the swag as
they saw fit.
At the hearing yestordny afternoon
the crowd were held In $500 ball, and
there is not a business man in the city
that does not think they were dealt
with too leniently, as they are all
known to be worth money, probably
amassed from their operations among
our merchants. Among the pnrty who
went to raid the home of the thieves
special credit Is duo to tho exertions of
Captain Edwards as leader, and the un
tiring work of Mr. Pryor, Edward Mil
ler and, last 'but not least, Mr. Acker
man. We may add that the report pub
lished In your Issue of this date Is the
most accurate of any that has yet ap
peared. Trusting you will give this a
place In your first Issue, as we believe
In giving honor to whom honor Is due,
we are Yours,
G. L. Aekerman.

at 124 Ninth Street.

Tlirco largo Trunks l ull of Goods Were
Milppod to Now York by the Shop
lifters Ten Pays Aco-Mcrchant
Who liuvo Identified the Goods.
Chief of Police Simpson is the recip
ient of congratulations on all sides for
the completeness with which the shop
lirtlng gung of Sicilian Italians was
brought to the end of the tether.
More Information wns received which
caused Captain Edwards, Detective
Stephen Dyer and Patrolmen Walsh
and Foen'. to bo sent to the premises
of Joseph ltemona, 124 Ninth srteet, and
search them. The Ladotas used to live
In that vicinity a year ago and ltemona
was very friendly with them. It was
suspected that he had received a large
quantity of the stolen goods.
Ills home whs searched high and low
with the result that enough articles to
constitute a. good-sized 'bunWe was
found; most of them were pieces of dress
goods, lo.ces, fine undergarments for
children, etc. The building Is a small
one, but two stoves were In full blast,
and the officers emerged half smoth
ered from the search. Mrs. Remona
was so nervous ami excitable that the
office.! s left her at home, but took her
husband In charge. It Is believed that
this family Is not guilty of any com
plicity In the larcenies, but that the
goods found In Its possession were pur
chased at cheap rates from the princi
pals In the case.
Identifying the Goods.
Merchants by the score were at the
police station yesterday morning look
ing over the spoils, each one assorting
out what belonged to him. The amount
of goods Identified so far is valued at
J400, and those to whom they belong are:
Goldsmith's bazaar, P. II. Flnley, Ban
ister, Rclia nk, Lauer & Marks, Brown's
Bee Hive, E. Gorman, the Globe store,
E. O. Lloyd, Mears & Hagen. Collins &
Hackett, Cohen's shoe store, Heal Bros.,
and O. L. Ackerman.
Every pocket and loop in the goods
was searched for Jewelry, but none was
found except what was mentioned yes
terday. There was a large stock of re
ligious articles. Mrs. W. B. Duggan
searched the persons of the women and
Patrolman Feeney and Sergeant Burke
went through the three men, but there
was no trace of spoil found.
Chief Simpson learned that Express
man William Noll, of Ninth street, was
engaged by the Kalians about ten days
ago to cart three trunk's to the Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western depot.
The trunks, Mr. Noll says, were very
heavy and consigned to New York city.
So far the police have not been nble to
obtain any cine to whom the goods were
addressed In New York, but they expect
to soon discover the information that
may lead to the recovery of them.
Prisoners Waived a Hearing.
The merchants have identified artl-
tirlea that were stolen early last fall
and late In the summer. There was a
good deal of guying going on among
the merchants; some of them went
up to see the goods only through curi
osity, but after looking over the goods
it turned out that some of the articles
belonged to one or the other of them.
The prisoners were taken to the court
room in the morning at 9 o'clock and
given a preliminary hearing and re
manded until 4.30 In the afternoon.
At that hour there were present all
the merchants who Identified any of
their goods among the spoils. The six
prisoners were led out and bound over
to appear at court. Attorney John T.
Martin was present to represent them
and he Informed Alderman Millar that
the defendants had decided to furnish
ball to appear at court. Attorney Mar
tin besought the alderman to temper
Justice with mercy Ini fixing the amount
of the ball. Each of the three women
has a suckling baby and Mrs. Spoto's
child, the attorney said, will die If
forced to breathe the atmosphere of the
county Jail.
Required to Furnish Dull.
The alderman called them up in cou
ples and bound the husband and wife
to furnish $500 ball each. Andrew Lo
datoand wife werecalled first, Philip Lo
duto and wife second, and I'eter Spoto
and wife third. Patrolman Sartor act
ed as Interpreter.
The police have been on the outlook
for the (Shoplifters for some time, as
frequent complaint were made by mer
chants of the losses they suffered. It
was for a time supposed that gypsies
who are in the cMy were the culprits,
and lust Saturday two gypsy women
were arrested and detained at the sta
tion house while a search of the camp
was made. No goods were found and
the women were thereupon released.
Suits of clothes and other articles
that It would have been hard to sneak
out of a BtoraJ lead the police to the con
clusion that the gang In custody were
burglars as well as shoplifters.
