DARING AND SUCCESSFUL BURGLARY-A
WOm0n Tied oRd her Mouth Closed so,th a Sf,cE-
ING PiOSter-The There's theR RdRSdck the House,
and Secure Tkeir BOOfy.-One OF the most daring
and successful burglares we have ever been
called on to chronicle was perpetrated about
O'Clock this morning, in one of the most POpu-
lous parts OF the city. At that hour two thieves
forced an entrance into the residence Of Mrs.
Dufeif, at the corner OF 18th and l. streets by
prizing up the window sash, and having dis
gused themselves by tying handkerchief over
their faces, proceeded 10 the room in which Mrs.
ID. was asleep, and placed over her mouth a
piece OF porous plaster, which closed her mouth
80 as TO prevent her giving an alarm. With two
short pieces of sash cords they then tied her
hands. She was too much frightened to give any
alarm, even il she had been left free. One of the
burglars stood over her while the other, with a
house, and opening a bureau drawer, took out
about 500 in gold, $40 or so in currency and a
wateh-leaying the chain and some other marked
jewelTy, as also the silver plate-and they then
left the premises. small bow was asleep in the
house at the time, but was not awaken, and after
the thieves left Mrs. Dufeif managed TO get the
plaster loose by working her tongue, and also
succeeded in losing her hands She was so
frightened that she could not form an idea rs 70
whether they were white or colOred men, but she
thinks, from their language, that they were
the perpetrators OF this outrage, but Major
Richards and his detectives have taken the case
in hand, and il is 70 be hoped the villains will be
brought to justice.
