Daylight Robbery at Emerson Home
A very bold robbery occurred Tuesday
morning at 10:30 at the F. P. Emerson home, 303 E. Third
street. A young man opened up the front door and walked
upstairs and stole a new navy blue suit and a brown overcoat
valued at $100. A pocketbook containing a sum of money was
in the coat pocket. The clothing was the property of
Raymond Emerson.
Mrs. Emerson was at home at the time of
the robbery, but did not pay much attention to the man, thinking
it was one of the family. When, he walked out she noticed
he was a stranger and had the clothing on his arm. She
immediately called the police, and her son home from work.
No trace of the man could be found. Mr. Emerson offers a
reward of $35 for any information leading to the arrest of the
perpetrator and return of the clothing.
The man was dressed in a brown suit and
wore a soft felt hat.

THREE YOUTHS HELD ON LARCENY CHARGE
WANTED FOR THEFT OF WABASH AUTOMOBLE.
Charles Dodds And Two Companions Said To Be Members of Active
Gang.
Charles L. Dodds, 19 years of age, 319 North
St. Peter street, has been arrested again. This time he is
charged with grand larceny, receiving stolen goods and stealing
an automobile. Two companions, Paul Null, 510 East Madison
street, and Boyd Matson, 715 North Eddy street, were also taken
into custody and are being held on similar charges.
According to the police, the three youths are
wanted by the Wabash, Ind., authorities for the theft of an
automobile from Joseph Renner, a shoe dealer at that city.
It is said the boys made the trip to Wabash in a Buick touring
car, stolen from F. M. Hollister, of this city. Upon
arriving at Wabash, they placed the Hollister car in a garage for
repairs and stole the Renner car, also a Buick, it is said.
Then they drove back to South Bend and abandoned the Wabash
machine in the northeast section of the city. A woman who
saw the youths leave the car recognized Dodds and immediately
informed the police department, according to Chief Kline.
The three youths are said to be members of a
gang of young robbers who have been successful in securing large
quantities of automobile tires, batteries and accessories.
At the present time Dodds is under indictment
in the St. Joseph circuit court on charges of grand larceny and
receiving stolen goods.
