Summers, C.W. (Breaking windows - 1912) 
 

C.W. Summers, a spectacle peddler, is in jail charged with the breakage of store windows which occurred last Saturday night.  Some time during the night some person had broken two windows for George Hart, a large window in Dr. Bachmann’s office, the glass door window in Alfred Klopf’s jewelry store, a window in the front of the Variety store, a window in the front of Mrs. Bruley’s millinery store, further cracked a large plate glass in the Big store front, broken a couple of windows in the Woodmen hall, and a couple in Joe Lowe’s second hand shop.  Summers had been on a "bat" Saturday night, and if the charges are proven against him, it would seem that he had lived in keeping with his condition and gone along the street and batted right and left.  He was found in the Merchants hotel Sunday morning, and the cane he carried bore evidence of being scratched by glass, and a small piece of glass still stuck in the end of it.  This is purely circumstantial evidence as he might have put the glass in the end of his cane and used it for a back scratcher.  At any rate Summers is now awaiting a hearing which will take place Saturday.  He claims he had no knowledge of having been the cause of the destruction of property.
