SECOND STORY WORKERS
TOUCHED Mr.. HAMMOND

Another case of burglary was called
to the attention of the police yester-
day Richard Hammond Of 9 Clare
mont Street reported that some time
Monday night thieves entered his room
and took three stickpins, valued at
from $50 to S35.
When the pins wer taken was more
than Mr.. Hammond could state. MeIa
bers of his family were in the house ali
the evening, but nothing out of the or
binary was noticed. Mr.. Hammond
went to his room about midnight and
discovered evidence that the room had
been entered. Two diamond stickpins
and one enamel pin, set with pearls,
were missing.
1t was evident that the intruders en-
tered by the window, as there were
plenty of marks to indicate that some
one climbed the veranda post, and
probably made his escape in the same
way, or by dropping from the roof Of
the veranda. None of the rooms. aside
from the one where the pins were tax
en-, was disturbed. Inspector Arthur
F. Roach is detailed on the case.

second husband as she did the first.
and even when he died she had no idea
OF showing any preference. But she
was sick when the funeral service OF
her second husband was held. She d.
rected that the partner Of her second
matrimonial venture be laid by the
side Of the first, but that enough space
be left to bury her between the two.

cemetery she found that they were
buried side by side, with no space be.

left request that she be buried in an
other lot, away from both of them, and
