CLEVER PIECE OF
DETECTIVE WORK
Three Supposed Safe Crackers and
Robbers Arrested Friday.
Were Given a Hearing Before 'Squire
Will C. Smith who Bound them Over
to Court Were Taken to Jail Sat-
urday.
Constable William I. Waugerman, o'
Wlnslow township, did a very clever
piece of detective work last week and
as a result three men are now in tbe
county jail in Brookville that will have
to answer for several penitentiary of
fenses that are charged against tbem.
The charges in the criminal court will
be running an ( opium joint and being
opium smokers, either one of which is a
misdemeanor, penitentiary offense, and
charge of burglary. In the United
States court they will be tried for rob
bing two postofllces.
Sunday night, April 7, robbers gained
an entrance Into the Supply Co. store
at Big Soldier, blew open the safe, stole
five or six hundred dollars worth of
postage stamps, revolvers and oher
goods. Several members of the state
police tried to run down the robbers,
but failed to get even any clow of the
robbers. Constable Waugerman began
a still hunt and soon got evidence suf
ficient to make him think that three
fellows staying at home of Mrs. Cather
ine McKee, near Prescott' ille, might
possibly be tbe guilty parties. While
Constable Waugerman was working"' on
the case the postofflce at Falls Creelt
was robbed on Wednesday night of last
week, tbe safe being blown open as had
been done at Soldier. Mr. Waug3rman
felt so sure after tbe Falls Creek job
that he was on the right track aud he
decided to arrest tbe three fellows be
fore they disposed of the Falls Creek
plunder, and with the assistance of Con
stable Perry B. Love, of Reynoldsvillo,
and three state police from Punxsutaw
ney, the fellows were arrested early
Friday morning, before they were out
of bed. A search was made and there
was nothing found that would be evi
dence against the men. Constable
Waugerman felt that it was up to him
to find some evidence and he felt that
he was dealing with three pretty
sbrewd fellows and be had both eyes
wide open. In the room on Becond floor
where one of tbe men 6lept was a cap
over a stove pipe hole and Mr. Wauger
man took the cap off to see if any
Boot or dirt would fall out and he found
that the oap bad been off not long be
fore. He went to first floor and exam
ined the chimney and succeeded in find
ing $09.12 worth of postage stamps
rolled up in a paper. A search in the
hen bouse resulted io finding a half pint
of oit,ro-glyoerine 'in rubber water bag,
some caps and fuse under a hen's
nest. Four opium pipes and a lamp for
heating the dope were found in the
bouse. At least two of tbe fellows
smoked tbe opium pipes in tbe presenile
of two officers.
Tbe trio were brought to Reynolils-
rille and locked up until Friday even-,
ing and were then given a hearing be-'
fnrA 'Knulrn Will C. Smith on charge of
having burglary supplies and running
an opium joint. Tbey could not be
tried before a justice for postofflce rob
bery. There was enough evidence to
justify 'Squire Smith to bind them ovor
to court and the bail was fixed at $800.00
apiece. Being unable to give bail thoy
were taken to Brookville jail Saturday,
morning. They gave their names as
Frank Wagner, of Johnstown, Harry
Williams, of jcranton, Pa., and George
Dally, of Rochester, N. Y.
In tbe meantime the United States
Marshal in Pittsburg bad been notified
of the arrest and Postofflce Inspector
R' D. Gibbons, of Pittsburg, arrived
here Sunday and on Monday be investi
gated the postoHlce robberies at Soldier
and Falls Creek. He thinks the evi
dence is strong enough against Wagner,
Williams and Dally to give them a trio
in tbe U. S. court, and tbey will be.
taken from Brookville jail to Pittsburg
to-day. U. S. court begins May 6th. It
not convicted In that court for poet-.
office robbery tbey will be brought back-,.
to Jefferson county for trial.
