The morning after the robbery her niece
arose, and not wishing to disturb her aunt she
at once left the room. Returning at II O'Clock
she saw that her aunt was still sleeping and,
noticing the disorder of the room, she be-

Being in death-like slumber, the child grew
frightened and called Tor assistance. LII was
at once suspected that burglars had been pres

proper relief, and she was restored to con-
seriousness. DR.. Griswold was unable to state
positively just what had been administered but
stated that the effects were such as produced
by chloroform.

fects of the shock for some days, as she is

affair was evidently the work of experienced
crooks.
