ATTEMPTED ROBBERY FAILS
Man Who Broke into Baltimore Store Arrested After a Thrilling Chase
Baltimore, Md.. Nov. 28. Caught in the act of robbing the jewelry store of Adolph Steinmann, 125 W. Camden St., John Schafer, 23 years old, of Pittsburgh, was arrested here yesterday after a thrilling chase, in which shots were fired by Sergeant Schulte and Patrolman Stafford, of the Southern Police District.
The jeweler’s family occupies an apartment over the store and shortly after mid-night, Karl Steinmann, son of the proprietor, heard a noise on the first floor. He crept down a side stairway and saw the burglar removing wrist watches from a case. The boy gave an alarm and the burglar ran from the store. Policemen joined in the chase and Schafer was caught. Jewelry and money taken from a United States post office sub-station were found in his pockets, according to the police. After a preliminary hearing Schafer was delivered to the United States Post Office authorities and he has been committed to jail on the charge of stealing Federal funds. Entrance to the store was gained by forcing a side door.
