tempt was on Friday night at the resi- !.
dence of x-Msyor VIM. W. Mitchell. cor
ner of Deering avenue and Falmouth
street. The intruder climbed one of the
large posts of the piazza and on reaching
the roof grasped hold of the moulding
around the cornioe which gave way, ow-
ing to the strain upon it. In his fall the
would-be burglar bent the galvanized
conductor with which he came in contact.
The attempted break was not discovered
until the next morning, as the occupants
OF the house all slept soundly through the
night and did not hear the noise of the
fall. Finger marks were discovered on
the post and the broken cornioe. The dis
lance which the burglar dropped from
the roof was about Is feet. The police
