locks. The latter were deity broken by
the burglar and the cases moved around
the room to secure an entrance to the DoX

The Intruder carried his own illumina-
tor, rs evidenced by the droppings OF
candle grease all over the glass cases.
Weiser thinks the thief was very lesurely
in his operations. for the My sign of haste
was a broken glass in case. which was
fastened with peculiar lock. The others
were opened by the keys which undouhi-

of an expert.
Weiser suspects man whom he noticed
hanging about the stand for several days.

was committed. this individual stationed
