Willie was out OF bed at an unseemly

RANSACKED.
Burglars Visited RasidsnC, Of
William H, C0mSlOCk.

The residence OF William n. Comstock.
al No. $50 Broad street. was entered by
burglars some time last night
The break was discovered by Patrolman
B. j. Fay. at AIS this morning.
The officer had once before examined
the estate, just as had the patrolmap on
the first relief and everything was found
secure.
The Comstock family has been away
for some time, SO that by timing the vs.
its of the officers the burglars had am
pie opportunity for working and leisurely.
Entrance 10 the house was effected by
n back-door. The burglars had bored the
door Just above the lock. and cutting out
a portion of the woodwork, had reached
In and operated a snap-iock.
The chief end OF the burglars seems to
have been 70 make thorough search or
the second floor, FOR every room there
had been visited and the contents OF
boxes, trunks and bureau drawers had
been thrown upon the floor and evidently
careful selections made of the goods and
chattels.
There was considerable silverware left
where 10 could have been taken, and Some
OF II may have been carried away.
There was also jewelry, which would
have made the burglary a paying one.
That there was not a general cleaning
out of these valuables leads TO the sup
position that either the thieves were
afraid to handle 10, or else were scared
Oft before they could pack up the goods
and remove them,
MIR. Frank Cumstock. OF go Canal
street, visited the house at the request
OF the police, but he was unable to tell
to what extent the house had been looted.
Until the family gets back the extent of
the looting cannot be determined.
