Slick Jewelry Store Burglar Nabbed
By Stephen J. Schmiedl

Jewelers in southern cities gave a sigh of relief this week with the arrest of Arthur Linwood Brown, exconvict and professional jewelry store burglar who is wanted for jewelry store burglaries in Knoxville, Tenn.; Alabama, Florida, Georgia and other southern states. Arrested in Chicago, Brown's burglary technique consisted of operating hundreds of miles away from his residence. He would drive into a city, pick out a jewelry store, then break into it at night. He selected his loot carefully, then returned to his base of operations. He was held in bond of $10,000 for hearing May 21.
