«Whose There?”’ «Its Me”,
Albert johns, a moulder at the Bl li
rietta Hollowware Works, who lives at]
Maytown, received a “‘call” at his!
home from an unwelcome visitor at an'
early hour Thursday morning. Mr.
Johns was awakened about three o'clock |
by a noise on the first floor. He heard |
steps ascending the stairs and inquired, |
“Who there?”’ “It’s me,” replied
gruff voice and then the intruder beat
a retreat. An investigation showed |
that the caller had stolen a box of ci— |
pairs |
a
|
gars, some tobacco and serveral
of stockings. The residence of Jac
Miller, Sr., south of Maytown, on the
Vinegar’s Ferry road was visited]
during the same night, and a quantity |
of food stolen.
