GOLSTEIN

34, Oxford Street, London


The premises of Mr. Golstein, 34, Oxford Street, London, W., were also recently broken into by a labourer named John Deller, 52, about half-past five in the morning. Hearing the crash of the window, Mr. Golstein went downstairs, and discovered that the window had been broken opposite the aperture left for the police to see through. Fortunately, the coronet aimed at was only imitation, which, together with three gold watches, were valued at £12. The thief was followed and caught by a constable, and now awaits his trial.

MERRILL

New Cross Road, London


Clean Capture of a Burglar

One morning recently, the police in passing the shop of Mr. Merrill, a jeweler, in the New Cross-road, London, heard a noise. Assistance was obtained, and the premises were surrounded. The prisoner was seen climbing over a garden wall at the rear. He was captured after a smart run. A bag containing house-breaking tools and some jewelry was found in his possession, and on his being taken back to the premises more of the stolen property was taken from his pockets. In the garden a number of watches were discovered strewn about. The prisoner had gained access to the premises through a trap door in the floor which communicated with a workshop. He had forced open a show-case, and watches and jewelry to the value of £200 had been removed. The prisoner, on being tried at the Central Criminal Court, said that he had been made drunk by the real burglar, who had used him as a 'cover' for his own escape. He had been, he urged, fearfully duped. After his conviction it was stated that there had been a very large number of burglaries in the neighborhood of New Cross, but that the complaints had ceased since his arrest. In twenty or thirty instances the marks on the doors corresponded exactly with the tools taken from the prisoner. The Recorder said he was perfectly satisfied that the prisoner was a practised burglar, and sentenced him to eighteen months' hard labor.
