On April 18, 1911, a daring burglary shook the quiet streets of South Somerville, New Jersey. At the center of the crime was Lena Hlue, a 43-year-old woman with a reputation for being tight-lipped. Hlue was caught red-handed by County Detective Hurt, who was tipped off by a concerned citizen. The authorities discovered a trail of evidence leading to Hlue’s doorstep, where a string of high-end items had been pilfered from the local community.
