WILLIAM ALLEN

St. John's, Newfoundland


For the past month merchants and others of St. John's, Newfoundland, had been mystified by a series of daring robberies. The guilty parties are Charles Shaw, late of Boston, who has been running a laundry here since the fire, and Lewis Duchemin. Their latest depredations had been committed on the jewelry store of William Allen, who looked upon the men as particular friends. Duchemin entered the store with false keys and Shaw acted the part of the " fence."
