L. WILLIAM WEBER
Howard and Clay streets, Baltimore
Breaking a transom of the jewelry store of L. William Weber, Howard and Clay Sts., burglars entered the building and made off with jewelry valued at approximately $300. One of the thieves was injured by the broken glass, as police reported they found a trail of blood. Showcases were ransacked but no attempt was made to open the safe. The loot consisted of wedding rings, several strands of pearls and cameo brooches. Mr. Weber opened his store at the present address less than a year ago. Detectives have been assigned to investigate the robbery, which happened June 2. The loss would have been much larger but Mr. Weber took precaution to place his most valuable display jewelry in his safes.

For the second time within a year robbery was committed last week at the store of L. William Weber, Howard and Clay Sts., jewelry to the value of $300 being stolen from a show window. The thief, who apparently watched the movements of policemen in the neighborhood, smashed a show window with a brick wrapped in newspaper and stole a number of wrist watches and bracelets. The robbery was discovered by William Bach, 24 N. Castle St., who immediately notified a policeman. Jewelers here have been warned by police officials against leaving valuable displays in their windows at night.

Two of Four Men Indicted for Baltimore Jewelry Store Robbery Plead Guilty
BALTIMORE, Md., April 14.—With the indictment here this week of four men, two of whom have pleaded guilty, mystery surrounding the hold-up and robbery at the jewelry store of William Lipman, 3200 block E., Baltimore St., has been cleared, according to the police. The robbery happened two months ago, diamonds, watches and cash valued at $2,500 having been stolen from the store.
Mr. Lipman and two members of his family, including his wife, were held up by two bandits at pistol points, one bandit stealing jewelry from a safe while another stood guard and later took rings from Mrs. Lipman and her sister-in-law. Samuel D. Levy, one of the principals, when arraigned before Judge A. S. J. Owens, pleaded guilty, as did Barney Martin. Two other men, Edward M. (Spike) Kenny and Edgar Hurley, who have been indicted by the grand jury, pleaded not guilty.
Kenny, the alleged ringleader, is now in the penitentiary serving a sentence for carrying a pistol. Kenny, according to detectives, was shot down three years ago in a battle with Richard Reese Whittemore, notorious gunman and jewelry store bandit. Kenny and Hurley will stand trial on the Lipman robbery, and it is believed that Levy, who has already confessed guilt, will take the stand against Kenny.
After Levy pleaded guilty, he went before the grand jury, after which other members of the gang were indicted. Every effort has been made by Captain of Detectives Charles H. Burns to clear up the Lipman robbery. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant State’s Attorneys Elmer Hammer, C. H. W. Smith and J. A. Sherman, Jr. It is believed that Kenny and Hurley will go to trial within the next 10 days.

MORRIS BERSHTEIN
2313, East Monument Street, Baltimore
Bandits Rob Jeweler
Enter Store of Baltimore Merchant, Hold Him Up, and Escape with Loot Worth About $2,500
BALTIMORE, Md., March 19.—Entering the jewelry store of Morris Bershtein, 2313 E. Monument St., early Thursday, two bandits attacked Mr. Bershtein a few minutes after he had opened his safe and escaped from the store carrying an assortment of jewelry valued at approximately $2,500. Police and detectives assigned to make an investigation of the robbery have made little progress, according to Captain of Detectives, Charles H. Burns.
Mr. Bershtein had opened his safe and was about to arrange his window display when a man entered the store as the jeweler was reaching toward the open safe for a tray of rings. “I’ll take care of that,” the bandit nonchalantly told the jeweler. At this juncture a second bandit entered the store, commanded Bershtein to put his hands up and told the first bandit to “go ahead.”
The second bandit kept the jeweler covered while the first bandit rifled a number of trays, taking rings and other jewelry. Jewelers have been asked to look out for the loot described as follows: ten white gold wedding rings set with diamonds ranging between three and seven points; 20 white and green gold weddings rings orange blossom engraving; 20 men’s rings set with synthetic rubies; 50 men’s rings yellow and green gold and white gold tops; eight single stones, ladies’ rings (white gold) set with 20 and 30 point diamonds, some having sapphires end emeralds in various style settings and seven unset diamonds from 10 to 20 points each.
After the bandit had stuffed the jewelry in his pockets the man standing guard told him to leave the store. The armed man was the last to leave and waited until his confederate was some distance away. The bandit warned Mr. Bershtein not to call the police, and not to attempt to follow him as he left the store. A few minutes after the bandit had gone Mr. Bershtein called the police. The thieves are believed to have escaped in an automobile which they had parked a block from the store.

He ran to the pavement and saw that the smaller man of the two was one he had noticed before dark on Baltimore St., and had seen him disappear down Pine St. The other young man remained near the window, which was discovered to be cut the entire width of one pane. The young man was placed under arrest. He gave the name of John Parncuit. On his person was found a combination glass cutter with a wheel attachment, such as is used by glaziers.

The designs of all of the pieces embody the typical Maryland products and representations of land and water. The most striking piece in the memorial is the centre tureen and its salver. The tureen is 18¼ inches long, 10 inches wide and 9¼ high. The salver on which it rests is 21 ¼inches long and 14 inches across. The testimonial is wrought in rich repousse work, showing the Baltimore oriole bird, the tobacco plant, the golden rod, wheat and corn. On one side is engraved the Maryland coat-of-arms, and on the other are the initials, A. P. G., in varied script letters. The handles are formed like two serrated sea shells. The salver is significant of the Chesapeake Bay.

Watchmaker Wanted
Baltimore Police Warn Trade Against Man Who Disappeared After Getting Repair Jobs from Three Jewelers
Baltimore, Md., Sept. 3.—Following the issuing of a warrant charging larceny against Frederick Huber, watchmaker, Detective Captain Charles H. Burns, has warned jewelers throughout the country to be on the lookout for this man. According to Captain Burns and Detective Lieutenant Martin J. Mannion three Baltimore jewelers have lost many watches which were given to Huber to be repaired.
Several months ago Huber came to this city and established desk room on Baltimore St., near Market Place. He made periodical visits to jewelers seeking work and was given a number of watches for repair work. Suddenly Huber disappeared and the watches could not be found. By diligent search of pawnshops one of the watches received from a Baltimore jeweler was found to have been pledged. Lieutenant Mannion said the watch was pawned by a man answering Huber’s description.
The warrant charing larceny was obtained on information supplied by Sol. H. Klaven, 1009 Pennsylvania Ave, Klaven charged that Huber obtained 16 watches from him on the promise of making repairs. None of the watches were returned. One of the watches was a woman’s platinum bracelet watch mounted with 16 diamonds and was very valuable.
Watches valued at $200 were intrusted to Huber also by Morris Bernstein, 2313 E. Monument St., and Samuel Tissenbaum & Co. lost watches valued at $250.
Huber’s plan of operation, detectives say, was to visit jewelers and collect watches for repairs. He is described as 40 to 45 years old, weighing 145 pounds; has smooth face, dark hair; he is 5 feet 2 inches high, and speaks with an accent.

Window Smashers Visit Baltimore Jewelry Stores and Escape with Jewelry and Other Articles
Baltimore, Md., March 6 —Although warnings have been issued from time: to time by Police Commissioner Charles D. Gaither, local jewelers continue to leave costly jewelry in their windows at night, a clear, invitation to the window-smasher, police say. The latest window-smashing was, that of the beautiful show window of the store of John W. Mealy Sons Co., 18 W. Lexington St. Jewelry valued at $600 was stolen from the window and considerable damage done to expensive fittings.
A month ago the window of the store of S. & N. Katz, 105-107 N. Charles St., was broken and jewelry valued at nearly $1,000 was reported stolen. That an organized gang of window smashers is at work is the conviction of detectives who worked on both cases. The. Mealy window was smashed early this morning.
Before a brick was hurled through the window a glass-cutter was used to weaken the window at the point where the brick was used. Several months ago the police authorities requested all jewelers not to leave expensive displays in their windows at night. Many jewelers complied with the suggestion. Other jewelers, however, while removing jewelry valued at thousands of dollars from their windows permitted a number of articles to remain on display. There have been five jewelers’ windows broken in the vicinity of Charles and Lexington Sts, but none of the thieves have been caught.
