Norwalk.
The Thieves Evidently Familiar
With the Premises.
South Norwalk was again visited by
bur lars Saturday night. The stores
of . E. Bodwell and G. Cuneo on
Washington street, and Sturtevant’s ‘
bargain house at the corner of Ann
and North Main streets, were entered
some time between 1 and 2 o’clock Sun-
day morning. At Bodwell’s store en-
trance was gained by breaking out a
glass in the rear door and unfastemng
the door bolts. Two boxes containing
between $15 and $20 in silver and pen- -
nies were taken, but nothing else was
disturbed. A peculiar circumstance
connected with these boxes leads to the
belief that whoever entered the store
was familiar with Mr. Bodwell’s hiding
place for his change. Instead of leav-
ing it in the money drawer he has been
in the habit of placing his change in
two paper boxes and putting them be-
hind the books on the shelf. The burg-
lars went directly to this hiding place
and found the boxes and took the
money out and departed without dis-
turbing anything else in the store. At
Cuneo’s an entrance was made through
the fan light over the front door. Here
too, the burglars seemed to be familiar“
with the custom of the proprietor. A
small box belonging to Mr. Cuneq’s
sons containing between $25 and $30 in
silver was kept on the shelf behind
several boxes of cigarettes. The burg-
lars found the box and after abstracting
its contents made their exit through
the back door, leaving it open. At
Sturtevant’s bargain house an entrance
was gained by completely demolishing
a shutter at one of the rear windows
and breaking out a portion of the glass.
The burglars failed to find over 60
cents in pennies in the cash drawer so
they helped themselves to several rc-
volvers that were in a show case. They
evidently made the rounds cf the store
as two vases were broken and a money
drawer behind one of the counters was
pried open with a jimmy. Near the
front entrance a pile of toys and no-
tions were scattered over the floor as
though the burglars were looking for
hidden money. Mr. Sturtevant’s sales
checks, made out on Saturday and left
in the cash drawer, were found strewn
about the floor.
One very peculiar fact regarding the
entrance into the Sturtevant store is
that the breaking of the rear shutter
did not arouse the people living over
the store or those sleeping within ten
feet of the window. The shutter,
which was nailed, was completely de-
molished, as though crushed with an
axe, and the burgi’ars must have made
considerable noise in breaking it as
they did. Another fact is that the
glass was broken only half out of the
window, leaving a space less than
eighteen inches for some one to enter
by. This and the fact that a large
stand of tins was within a few inches
of the window would indicate that a
small boy was put in through the
broken pane and he unlocked the rear
door and let the burglars in.
The manner in which all the stores
were entered and-the finding of the
hidden money would also indicate that
it was the same parties that entered -

The Checks Came Back Protested.
On Friday evening between five and
six o’clock a tall smooth-faced young
man- Walked into TheodoreéOlsenFs ‘shoe
store in South Norwalk and desired to
purchase a pair of shoes. The accom-
modating clerk fitted him to a pair of
$1.50 shoes for which he he was ten-
dered in payment a check for $9 on the
Fairfield County National Bank drawn
to the order of E. E. Benedict and
signed J. T. Prowitt. As the words
“for work” appeared under Benedict’s
name on the check the clerk accepted
it and gave his customer $7.50 change.
Putting the money in his pocket the
young man went around to Comstock
Bros. on South Main street where he
purchased a shirt for $1 and tendered a
similar check for $9, which the oblig-
ing clerk accepted and gave him $8
change. Not satisfied with his success
in putting out checks he next visited
Homer B. Hoyt, the North Main street
jeweler. On entering the store he
walked up to Mr. Hoyt and shook hands
and called him by name. As Mr. Hoyt
failed to recognize him he informed
him that his name was Elmer E. Bene-
dict, a son of Kip Benedict, and that
he had been working in New Haven,
where he had learned the trade of pa—
per hanging, and that he was now en‘-
gaged with J. T. Prowitt. Mr. Hoyt
recognized him at onceas having lived
in the old Nash place at the corner of
West avenue and Cedar street. After
talking over old times for a .few min-
. utes he informed Mr. Hoyt that he
wanted to purchase a ring for a young
girl. He was shown several and finally
selected one for $1.25. When paying
for the ring he informed Mr. Hoyt that
he had but 58 cents in his pocket and a
check for $9 and that he hated dread-
fully to have the check cashed but sup-
posed he must and then tendered Mr.
Hoyt another check signed by J. T.
Prowitt for 39, which was promptly
cashed, and young Benedict departed
with the ring and $7. 75, making $22.75
in cash he had gathered in.
As all three of Benedict’s victims
keep their accounts at the CityNation;
al Bank, South Norwalk, the three
checks were deposited there and sent
up for collection to the Fairfield Coun-
ty Bank up town. When presented to
teller Hoyt he promptly protested them,
Mr, Prowitt not having any account at
that bank, and returned them to the
City Bank on Monday. Young Bene-
bict must of had some knowledge of the
check business as he remained in
South Norwalk Saturday and visited
the grocery of Dibble A: Comstock on
North Main street, where he was well
known. and got Mr. Comstock to cash
another check for $9 drawn in the
same way. He then disappeared and
has not been seen since, and the four
South Norwalk merchants are kicking
themselves to think how easily they
were taken in by the young rascal.
_ Just as it Was.
Administration organs frequentl as-
sert that “the people elected Mr. C eve-
land President last fall by an over-
whelming majority.” As a matter of

Teachers Should 00 Easy.
The children who have been devel-
oping their bodies and storing vitality
during the vacation season, have sur-
rendered a portion of their time to les-
sons and recitations. They have ex-
changed the outdoor air for the con-
finement of the school room and the
implements of their summer play for
books and blackboards. The months
of confinement and study to come, un-
der the best of conditions, will prove a
constant drain upon the surplus vitality
acquired during the summer vacation.
The caution needed by enthusiastic
teachers is not to forget that the health
and development of growing children
require plenty of time for play and ex-
ercise in school days as well as in vaca-
tion seasons, and it would be well for
all teachers in our public schools to
overlook little shortcomings of the
children, and not keep them after
school any longer than is absolutely
necessary until the transformation
from summer play to school confine-
ment has been gradually made.
Robbed a Peach Orchard.
Early Sunday morning, word was re-
ceived at the Stephen Hoyt’s Sons nur-
sery, New Canaan, that a crowd of It-
alians, Hungarians and Negroes. num-
bering fully twenty-five, were despoil-
ing a peach orchard belonging to the
«firm of its fruit. A party was quickly
formed of the employees, who were
armed with guns and clubs. and they
started for the orchard. The thieves
saw them coming, and made a hasty
departure, in some instances leaving
the bags which they had brought wit-
them to take away the fruit. Arrests
are liable to follow. Areport that one
of the thieves was shot, is denied at the
nursery. Messrs. Hoyt propose keep-
ing a guard _on duty day and night, so
that if posmble; they may be able _to
realize something from the first fruits
of what is said to be one of the finest
peach orchards in the state.
The Colored Mute Dead.
Robert Metresh, a deaf and dumb
colored man who lived alone on the
corner of Canal and Chapel Streets, in
Stamford, died Saturday, aged 29 years.
He was well known in that neighbor-
hood, havmg worked at the shoemak-
ing trade there for some time. Metresh
was born in Norwalk on what is known
as Smith street. His father'was a_mute
and was engaged in the oyster business.
.Yonng Metresh one time worked at
the Lounsbury, athewson & Co. shoe
manufactory, and was quite proficient
Robbed His Mother.
Wallace Pelham, who but a short
time ago was in the toils of the Stam-
ford police for stealing. has again been
up to his old tricks. Yesterday after-
noon his father, Marcus Pelham, the
ex-chief of police of South Norwalk,
accompanied by Mrs. Pelham, attend-
ed the funeral of W. P. Smith. When
the family left the house Wallace was
working in the back yard with Peter
Callaghan, but as soon as the coast was
clear Wallace left off work, and telling
Callaghan that he would be back in a
minute, entered the house. The next
that Callaghan saw of him he was all
dressed up and said that he had to go
away for a short time on business.
When Mr. and Mrs. Pelham returned
they found that Wallace had. gone
through ’Mrs. Pelham’s trunk and
stolen $79.50, which his mother was to
have deposited in the bank to-day. He
unlocked three doors and locked them
again, showing that he was provided
with false keys and had planned the
robbery beforehand. He next went up
stairs to the apartments of Mrs. Charles
Stevens and stole a silver watch, which
formerly belonged to her deceased hus-
band. He overlooked a pocketbook
containing $115, which Mrs. Stevens
had placed on top of a book case. After
gathering in all that he could find he
left the house and was last seen at the
depot about 3 o’clock.
Young Pelham is 27 years of age, 5
feet 10 inches in height, weighs 207 lbs.,
is bald, and has a’small moustache. He
is well known to the police in several
parts of the State. He is married and
has two children, but he and his wife
do not live together. The latter not
long since attempted to drown herself
by jumping into the mud near the
bridge. . .
Mr.'Pelham is very anxious to cap-
ture his son, and promises to deal se-
verely with him if found. He has noti-
fied the police in all the adjoining cities,
and hopes to apprehend him.
