spondence) bold burglary was commit
ted last night on Columbia street two
electric car conductors, Brown and Grif-
fin. being losers thereby. They have a room
together at 12l Columbia street. Their
slumbers were undisturbed, notwithstand-
ing the evidence presented in the morning
that their room had been entered and all
the money they had abs tracted from their
clothes. Brown lost about $50 and Griffin
about $40 or S25 Their clothes had been
taken from their room and were found in
the hall, where the burglars had taken
their time to go through them. OF the
money taken from Conductor Browns
clothes $1.40 belonged to the electric COM
pany. having been collected on the last
run and not yet turned in. There Is no
evidence that the burglars forced an ea-
trance, but they must have used a skele-
ton key. as the men are certain that they
locked the door when they came into the
house. though the door to their room was
left unlocked, as usual.
