Within a day or two, two such thefts have been committed. One of these was on Saturday night, on G, between 12th and 13th Streets, by which Capt. Hamilton was the sufferer; the second was at the residence of Dr. Whelan, from which three overcoats and other articles of dress were abstracted. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DC-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
