THE "GOLD RUSH."
Rare Chance for Thieves to Sell Their Loot. EVIDENCE IN MELTING-POT. (Received 12.30 p.m.) LONDON, March 8. The "gold rush" is delighting thieves and giving them the opportunity of a ' lifetime to dispose of stolen articles. If a man had walked into a reputable jeweller's establishment six months ago wanting to sell a collection of watches and jewellery, probably the jeweller would have telephoned the police. Nowadays, so many honest people are doing the same thing that it is impossible to distinguish. Detectives regret that much good evidence is going into the melting-pot, while also note money is exceptionally plentiful among known burglars. On the other hand, the "fences" who usually take the bulk of the ill-gained profits are having a lean time.
