street, suffering the visitation. About $50
worth of jewelry was secured while the
family were absent from the house In at
tendance at church services, and when
reported to the police the case presented
the usual dearth of clues
The burglary presented features which
stamp it as the work OF professionals
Mr.. and Mrs. Fowble left the house earlv
in the evening and went to church, first
taking the usual precautions of locking
the front and rear doors and seeing that
the window fastenings were secure On
their return, shortly before 10 o'clock.
they discovered that the house had been
entered and ransacked
Entrance had been effected through the
rear door, the burglars forcing the lock
with a jimmy. Proceeding to the up
stairs bedrooms, they had gone through
the bureau drawers In search of valua-
bles. A lady's gold watch, two valuable
rings and a solid gold chain were taken.
While a systematic search had evidently
been made, nothing else was missed.
Several articles of silverware Of value
and other booty which might have been
easily secured were left untouched
The robbery was at once reported to
the Margaret street police, but no traces
were left which would serve as clues to
the identity of the parties who did the
work and detection will be difficult. Mr..
Fowble is a contractor and is well known
throughout the city
