aged 70 divest himself of everything which could
lead TO suspicion Of his calling but subsequently
two instruments were found concealed behind mats
or Oilcl0ths between his bed room and that which
had been robbed, which throw light on the facil-
ty with which gentlemen's bed rooms could be
entered and plundered without much disturbance.
One of these II instrument entirely Of steel In
the form Of . morticng chissl, well adapted to cut
out panel, unscrew the hinges Of q box, or pry

pliers, the two ends of which, when pressed To-
gether, form barrel, well adapted to lay hold Of
the end Of . key 20 as to turn 10 in the lock %
that supposing door to be locked inside, and the
key left in the lock- the person having those pliers
in his possession would be able to turn the key
from the outside, and on leaving the room could
re-lock the door without removing the key.
Among the luggage of Branch was found FORM
idable instrument used by thieves in New York.
