Robbery toil on a quiet street ends in fear and chase
A pair of masked men ransacked the Seibert home at No 614 National Road while a 70 year old woman and her mother slept. They fled after a pursuit by Mrs Seibert’s brother, leaving behind a revolver and a broken trail. Neighbors report a similar Fifth Ward incident and call for private detectives to aid in catching the thieves amid rising crime.
