One-Armed Burglar Takes Bible and Cash

Oakland, California, 1921

A one-armed burglar entered the home of Mrs. P. H. Aldrich, 915 Fallon street this morning while she was out shopping. When she returned she discovered that a Bible and $8 in cash were missing. Mrs. Aldrich found out from a neighbor who saw a man with one arm coming out of the house. The police are looking for the burglar with one arm.
