Robbery at First Presbyterian Church and Park Avenue Home
Two burglaries occurred last night in a bold, amateurish effort. The First Presbyterian Church on Falrg Street was entered, a safe damaged but contents untouched, a Bible with 22 dollars inside remained, and clues point to a key entry and pried doors. Walter Wil at 332 Park Avenue found his home ransacked and clothing missing. Detectives noted an attempted entry in the secretary's room, a coal furnace hammer used on the safe, and evidence of the thieves using a gan stove light. The Bible money was left in Rev Paterson’s study, possibly saved to avoid Mishandling funds. The incident occurred after a prayer service, with authorities planning further action on page two.
