Theery of Pclice Chief The theory “hief of Police George Getel is that a thief at- | tended the late show at the the- ater and then hid himself inside of it from theatre attendants when they closed the playhouse for the | night. About 3 o'clock this morning he removed the theatre gr dropped into the bank hallway d opened its Franklin Street door to ndmit an accomplice waiting on the cidewalk. The supposed accomplice was| seen to enter the door by Merchant Patrolman John Zaboski, who im- mediately reported the lent u»i Night Policeman Fred Campen. Maee Thorough Search Within a few minutes the officers | entered the theatre and the bank,! but thorough search failed to re-| veal the presence of anybody but themselves. The supposition is that the man | who entered the bank hallway door from Franklin Street was aware| that his entrance had been seen that he apprised his associate on| the inside of their danger and that they quickly left the premises. Whether removal of the theatre‘ grating was for the purpose of opening a means of escape after | looting the playhouse or effecting | entrance to the bank to rob it, has not been determined by Chiefl Getchell. A futile effort was made to rob the theatre several weeks ago. e — Miss Nell McCloskey, Chlef Clerk of the Alaska Game Commission who attended the wecent special meeting of that body at P‘airbmnkx'.‘ and afterward visited friends in Anchorage for a few days, returned home Tuesday on the steamer Alas- ka. | termine N A forty-year-old lawyer-farmer will become Governor of Mississ- ippi in the person of Martin (Sure Mike) Connor (above) who de- feated Hugh L.
