"BLUES" MUSIC CLUE TO ROBBERY
Selection of Records Made by Thief in Chicago
Talking Machine Store Enables Police to Fol-
low the Trail Without Hesitation
His fondness for music of the blues order,
probably natural with a colored gentleman, is
responsible for the fact that Private Burch,
Company G. Eighth Illinois Infantry, is being
held in Chicago for the robbery of a local
phonograph store, when machines and rec-
ords to the value of $2,500 were stolen. The
list of records taken included one dozen each
of "Darktown Strutters Ball," "Are You From
Dixie" and "Livery Stable Blues," and two dozen
each of "Hesitation Blues" and "It Takes a
Long, Tall Brown-skin Gal to Make a Preacher
Lay His Bible Down."
After one perusal of the list the police began
to search for a gentleman of color. The trail
of "blues" followed that of the Illinois Regi-
ment direct from Chicago to Texas, and negro
girls had records to spare, all presented to them
by Private Burch. He is now reposing in a place
where the blues are mental but not melodious.
