 SoMNAMBULrsM AND LosT RMGs-A SIN
 au1AR CAsE.-A family in tl is city returned on Wednesday last from Litchfeld where they are spending the summer. That night the gentleman of the house thought he heard some one about the premises and leaving his bed made search but discover ed nothing wrong. The next morning his wife discovered that she had lost three val uable rings. one diamond ring valued at
 $1, 800. She said that in the night, when
 her husband got pp, she took the rings
 from the bureau and put them on one. of her fingers, and in the morning took them
 of, as she supposed, when she washed her hands and laid them down. As the return to Hartford was only temporary. no ser- wants were in the house; and the lady her self attended to the breakfast arrang gements, and she was confident the rings were taken off in the kitchen. While she was there, a boy from market. where steak had been
 ordered the night before, came in,. and
 when she discovered her loss she inferred that perhaps he was the thief. The whole case was laid before the police authorities, and rigid investigation followed. The officers became satisfied that the market boy was entirely honest. On Thrsday the family returned to Ltchfield, and after searched by the police, but the missing then given to all the pawn-broking estab- lishments, and other measures wers taken to detect the thief. On Friday, as no de- velopments bad transpired here. Officer Bill went to Litchfeld, it having been thought that possibly the lady left the rings there and they had been stolen after she came to Hartford; but on arriving there he found her entirely confident of having had the rings with her and of put ting them on in the night. He came back to Hartford and made another search of the house. and, in small drawer in a bu. reau, tucked away at the bottom, the rings were found wrapped carefully up in cotton The lady probably in sort of somnambu- listic state got up in the night and placed them there, instead of upon her finger. A telegram was at once sent to Litchfeld saying that her property had been recover ed, and a reply came asking where it was obtained, and word was then sent, ''In your bureau drawer which must have sur prised the gentleman and his wife, Hart ford Courant. ..,l..... ...,.....r
