ROB JAIL MATRON'S ROOM.
Thieves Enter Criminal Court Build-
ing While Court in Session.
Not since a thief walked into the office of Judge John W. Wofford in the criminal court building and walked off with the jurist's overcoat has there been so much excitement among deputy marshals as yesterday.
It was about 11 o'clock when Mrs. Margaret Simmons, matron at the jail, reported that her room, not more than twenty-five feet from the judge's bench, had been robbed of $44.25, a watch and other jewelry.
At the time of the robbery court was in session, and had the intruder made much noise, it might have easily been noticed. A chisel, found lying on the floor, gave evidence of how the desk drawers came to be forced.
