Supposed Silk Thieves Arrested In Mankato Area
Mankato officials believe they have captured part of a silk theft gang that has troubled dry goods merchants for months. Two men, A. B. Hall and A. C. Penland, were arrested by Sheriff Osten after attempting to sell silk remnants door to door. Hall claimed to be a tailor and planned later orders for ladies suits. The pair face a ten day jail term on a license violation, with potential theft charges if more evidence emerges. Silk remnants lacked identifying marks, hindering dealer identification from Brookings and Wells. Authorities see links to ongoing silk robberies, but lack tangible proof tying the men to specific thefts.
