E.F. Price, a Norfolk house mover who is moving two houses from the recently acquired site for the new high school on Road Street, pulled off his overalls Wednesday afternoon and hung them up in an outbuilding when he left work. He left his pocketbook containing $85 in bills in one of the overall pockets and when he got back, he found that the pocketbook and all had dissolved. He has been unable to locate the thief but suspects a workman who failed to show up right after the loss of the money.
