“Some time last night. A watchman at the collar factory says he seen an
automobile stop around the corner near the Baptist Church about three
o’clock. Says it didn’t have no lights on it. He didn’t think much about
it, though, he says, and the next time he came round front he looked
again and it was gone. The papers had it last week where there was a job
just like that done over to Maynard. Two ginks in an automobile came
along one night and lifted six or eight hundred dollars’ worth of stuff
out of a gent’s furnishing shop. If they don’t raise my pay at the Yards
pretty quick I’m going to hire me an automobile, fellows.”
