Mr. SWEET the manager of the house was in
wh!rl all day. lie had 10 answer questions Put
TO him by every on. H- was unable To tel
anything. lie said. in gpeakinG ol the matter:
Il do not think that the robi cry was effected pY
any one passing through the Motel. We nRFr
a watchman whose duty ii is to make round
OF the house every haf-hour Then. again. the
elevator runs all night. boy Is on duty there
The night clerk Is at the de>k and there II al
ways at least one porter around to move bag
gage. TO gain access TO the rear part OF the
house IL was necessary TO pass this coteris OF
employees. That could hardly have been done
Still II Is nossibie that some one may have gone
through the hotel. but II is improbable We
can account frT every guest in the house.
Tn. hOte management made a thorough
search of the halls and the fastenings To the
windows. but not the slightest trace was to be
found anywhere OF any tampering. Ine man
agement IL inclined to think that the robbery
was committed through the collusion OF some
one In the Burden house.

THE BRADLEY MARTIN ROBBERY.
Some OF the Tenderoin police said last even
ing that the Burden robbery called to mind the
robbery in the house Of Bradley Martin at No.
% West Twentieth-st. early on the morning of
April 90 1898. soon after Mr.. Martins daughter
had been married TO the Earl of Cra zen. The
thief climbed over high wall into the yard In
the rear Of the house, got In through window
and stole thirteen watches and q lot of silver
ware valued at $4,000. s. raj similar robberies
had been committed in The city. among them
robberies at the houses Of j. PierpOnt Morgan,
Charles Lanier and w. j. Denorest, and the
police thought they had all been committed by
one man. who was an expert ''second-storJ
thief" because in most cases access had been
gained to the houses through second-story win
dOws.
About TWO months later the police captured
Frank Davis. and found in his room some OF
the watches which had been stolen from bradley
Martins house and also property which had
been taken from the other houses. DAVIS trlrn
to commit suicide when he was IN cell at
Police Headquarters On June 10. 1898. he was
sentenced to nearly twenty-five years In prison
