They took him to the hospital to make sure he hadn't caught the flue in the chimney

He thought he could just Poppin, so the arrest really hid him like a ton of bricks. Obviously it was nothing to sneeze at.

My 4th great grandfather was a constable in Newport RI in the early 1800s. He was charged with retrieving a silk dress that had been stolen but the woman wouldn’t open the door. So he came down the chimney to arrest her and take back the dress.

Love discovering little family vignettes.

Just out of curiosity what can the fire dept do that the cops can’t do in this chimney situation?

“flue”? That is worthy of a LOL! Quite imaginative on the writer’s part. ;-)

Reminds me of something from the 1970s. In tearing down an old house they found a burglar well dried out in the chimney.
I remember a few other old instances also.
