Saved by Neglect A Watchman’s Narrow Escape in New York
A night watchman at Anderson & Teas wholesale grocer stores on Pyres River Street New York is lured into guarding six boxes of gold from California after a midnight plan by thief Joe. A chloroform trap and a timed revolver explosion are foiled when the man’s broken clock fails to trigger. The alarm then saves him, with police catching the suspect, and the man later retires happily with his daughter Nellie and a $500 reward.
