A Pnaser-by Saw Two Men MancuvrinG
Myrteriousiy h hind tho Ticket Oficr.
Nothing has been learned Of the identity or
the whereabouts Of the burglars who robbed
tho ticket ONCE OF the New Haven Railroad in
tho Grand Central Station on Saturday night.
From all that has been made known IL would
appear that two men were engaged In tho
theft one to do the work and the other to keep
a lookout or to stand by his comrade for the
sake OF appearances. as tho sight OF one man
entering tho ticket office from the rear at such
q time might have aroused the suspicious OF
persons passing.
Tho thief entered by climbing over the stair
way which runs diaGonally across one OF the
roar windows and prying away the heavy iron
screen. The space thus made is hardly moro
than foot wide. and to slide down to the lower
snsh. which was open. must have taken a cool
headed man several minutes. There was con-
slant danger Of breaking tho large panes Of
glass which would have given warning. Police

covered by violent sandstorm. The men had
no tools with which to eIcayato further and
brought away only q few fragments OF stone
and some fine pottery. different from any made
by the Pueblo Indians. 1t is said there can be
