Burglary of Office of Patrick T. McElherne - Chicago Tribune - Tuesday 5 Nov 1889, p 6 - full page

BROKE INTO A LAWYER'S OFFICE. / Some time between Saturday night and Monday morning thieves broke into McElherne & Mayer's law office at No. 79 South Clark street. In P. T. McElherne's private room every drawer in the desk was ransacked and every article in the bookcase examined, but nothing was taken. From the main officeroom, they carried away a suit of clothes, etc. In Saturday morning's papers Mr. McElherne announced his intention to proceed against the men who attempted to corrupt the primaries in the Tenth War, and it was stated that he had in his possession documentary evidence sufficient to convict. It is thought that the plan may have been to secure these papers.
