This Day in History: 1931-07-25
Frank Geiger of Suffern reported that someone had broken into his bungalow on the mountain. When Chief Smith and Trooper Charles of the State Police Barracks in Ramsey investigated they found the window on the north side of the building, described as being “near Castelonia’s”, had been broken to gain admission. A precise list of the objects stolen, ranging from a pair of field glasses, a blanket, and three towels, to five cans of milk, soap, sugar, and a collar, was entered in the Police book but there was no indication of the value of the stolen goods. Although the police spent several days investigating the case there were no arrests made. Although Chief Voss of Ramsey had asked Smith to help with crowd control at the American Legion parade that afternoon, he started the investigation of the robbery at 1:50 and only came back at 6:45.
