Lunch Over to the next and Pinish u.
A RocKAwAY, L. l., July 22.-About mid
night tho window leading into the kitchen OF
the summer home Of Mr.. James l.. Morgan OF
Brooklyn, on R~ockaway boulevard, Edgemero
Crest, was forced open and two thieves on
tered. They lighted the gas and searched the
cupboard. Heaping two plates with cake and
fruit, they proceeded into the dining room. A
swinging door separates the two rooms. They
placed q ctair against this. Then, by tho aid
of a lamp which they had lighted in the kitchen,
they took out tho drawers OF the buffet and
gathered up all tho silverwaro to DO found.
Then. probably frightened by some sound, they
walked out Of the front door, bearing their
platters Of fruit and cake and the silverware.
Mr.. Morgan. his wife, her brother, Lawyer
Parker, and young Lancaster Morgan, DO
sides three servants. were asleep In the house
at tho time, but no ne was awakened.
Proceeding from the Morgan house to the
residence next door, they entered through q re
cellar window. still bearing their burdens. This
was the summer cottage Of Frederick De Zaldo
Of the firm OF Hidalgo & Co., sugar merchants
on Wall street. Lighting lamps. the burglars
spread out the Morgan silverwaro and the
eatables taken from tho Morgan house upon
the table and sat down. AS they ate they ex-
amined the silver, breaking It to determine
the silverware In the Dc Zaldo house and eX.
amined that carefully, rejecting the plated
ware.
All this time there were no less than fifteen
people sleeping In the De Ialdo house, but
none heard the burglars. After collecting the
solid silver, the men entered an ante-r0om
where the family bicycles werc stored. They
selected two low.frame wheels OF, standard
make and 81 model. Pushing the wheels
silently through the hallway, they took them
out upon the porch and there worked at them
with tools, probably readjusting, the saddles.
The Rockaway boulevard is the only road
about which affords good wheeling. This road
leads to Seaside, Rockaway Beach, where
boats can be taken to New York and Canarsie,
and in the opposite direction leads to the .Mcrrick
! road. The men did not board any Of the early
morning trains from nearby stations.
Mrs. Nordlinger, whose house. In Franklin
street Is in the rear of the De Zaldo cottage,
saw the burglars sitting In the De Zaldo
brightly lighted dining room. They were bend
ing over the table intent, she thought, on, q
| game. One wore light-colored clothing and tho
others was dark.
Among the rejected silverware found on the
De Zaldo table were a dozen plated knives
which belong neither to the De Zaldos nor TO the
Morgan family. This would indicate that tho
burglars entered O third house, but no other
burglary has been reported to the local police.
