Burglar’s Stash Includes Dentist’s Gold
A suspect arrested for burglary is linked to a past theater district crime after his room is found filled with stolen dental gold.
Among the items found in the room of Charles Fox, a suspected burglar arrested several days ago, were a number of gold crowns and false teeth. These were identified by Dr. F. J. Bethel last night as articles stolen from a display case in his office in the Tacoma Theater building last fall. Other plunder found in the suspect's room, including silverware, has also been identified by various victims.

The Tacoma Theater building stood as a landmark of the city's early entertainment district, and such petty crimes targeting professionals were staples of the local police blotter.
