March 25, 1954: Phelps Theater Pays $25 Fine
Raymond Nebrick, 344 Exchange St., Geneva, driver for Smith and Howell film distributors, called Phelps police when he found an intruder at the Phelps Theater early Sunday when he stopped to pick up films.
Sleeping in the back of the theater was Frederick Charles Downey, 20, Newark, who was home on leave from the Navy. He said he became confused and did not remember breaking in and ransacking the theater.
He was arrested by Phelps Police Chief Harold Murphy who discovered that he had a towel wrapped around him containing a sum of money taken from vending machines in the lobby.
