Young burglars identified in Rockford raid
In Rockford on July 26 two young men named Ed Williams and Everett were jailed after the Brown Building burglary. Aged about 23 and 24, they refused to reveal home towns or origins. Witnesses on the 8:30 GC M St Paul train said the pair were seen at Charles Mayer’s saloon and Thompson’s restaurant before the crime. They dressed in fine clothes, bore a solitaire pin, and declined to discuss the morning robbery. Officials suspect ties to a broader gang and consider arranging legal help.
