spect the Capitol. They were observed by
the officers about the building. but il was
not until after they had left that ii was
discovered that someone had been defac-
ing the much-prized bronze doors on the
east side OF the senate wing.
The Dissertation consisted of the scratch
ing OF two names on the door and the

left by other vandals. The names left on
the doors were those Of Robert Kellett
and r. r. Cyland. and these served to Sc
cure the apprehension of their owners.
They were Immediately traced to their
headquarters. and when a demand was
made for their surrender no objection was
made.
The doors are considered "A very fine
work of art. They cost originally $50. coo.
and it will be difficult to erase the names,
as they were written in deeply
