Burglary and bold canine aid in New York theft tale
In a winter 1841 New York episode a jewelry store clerk sleeping for security awoke to burglars cutting a back window. He damaged a thief’s hand with caustic liquid, caused pain with pincers, and used a barking dog ruse to summon relief. The miscreants fled, one reported bitten, while the clerk waited for watchmen and later pursued a drink with a newspaper canvasser. Also included is a political quip about Mayor Ralph Hutchinson caught in a muddied post election scene and his exchange with the mayor.
