A Cave in the Woods Reveals a Sneak Thief’s Lair
Residents in Saxton’s area investigate reports of smoke from a woods hollow and uncover a hidden cave built by a skilled mechanic. The chamber contains a bed, closets, a bunk, a muslin ceiling, a concealed alley beneath a sheet iron tray wired for lift, and a matching roof with a ventilation pipe. Evidence links robberies in nearby homes to the cave’s occupant, though the suspected thief Long Steve Green is jailed for unrelated hog theft.
