STOLEN SECURITIES
THEFT ON BOARD LINER. A SENSATIONAL AFFAIR. (Prcßß Association — By Xolegraph—Copyright.) LONDON, May 30. In response to a wireless message from the steamer George Washington that securities valued at £27,000 had been stolen from the mail room, two detectives went on board at Plymouth, and found remnants of food and other indications that someone had been living in the >ail room. It was obvious that the thief had concealed himself there in New York, and after committing the theft had been released by an accomplice when the steamer reached Bremerhaven. A search resulted m the discovery of Albert Rosenberg an alleged international crook, in hiding.* He led the detectives a lively chase all over the ship before he was stunned with a spanner and arrested. A sailor named Barra was also arrested as the supposed accomplice of Rosenberg, who waa kept on board the steamer for return to New York. After some days’ detention he showed the detectives where the whole of the missing securities were hidden.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
