Snyder, an aged man who conducts a store at Sheridan, a suburb of Tower City.

Those who resided in the same building heard the breaking oL window. They notified Snyder, who upon entering store was driven out by one of thine gang flurishing a butcher knife, threatening to kill the old man. As the proprietor treated, the loot rest two of the hams, band bologna, carried seven boxes of candy, seven boxes of cigars, and took $62 in cash. At the Midway House they secretly hid their loot and made a bold attempt to steal a wagon and horse to convey their loot away. The three alleged suspects of this midnight crime are William Pontz, Edward Long and Charles Starnowski, all of Wiconisco.

When State Trooper, V7m. Miller arrested Pontz on suspicion, the officer was amazed to have one of the stolen cigars offered him by the alleged criminal, who when questioned at Lykens as to where he obtained his pocketful of cigars, replied, at Snyder's, Tower City. This admission led to a rapid rounding up of the alleged robbers by the State Police twelve hours after the robbery was reported to H. E. Buffington, at Lykens.

The three men were lodged in the Schuylkill County Jail in default of bail. The robbery was committed at 2 A. reported at 10 A. and 4 P. M.

Pontz was under arrest at Lykens, but stubbornly refused to tell. At 8 A. M. Long was picked up at Tower City carnival and made a full signed confession. The admission of Pontz then led to the arrest of Starnowski.

By 10 A. after a hearing before Squire Henry, the trio were on their way to jail. Had Mr. Snyder known, he coutd have gone to any telephone and called up 22R11 Lykens, and within an hour have a State Police officer who would have been on his way to assist him.
