The shawl which the burglars are
thought TO have been after was taken

gambling, houses OF the new tender
ioin IL the theory on which the two
police detectives are now WORKING
The fact That Moore On an employe
OF the Monte Carlo, a gambling
house. " practically the only clue
which they have, They are salts
fled that the crime was committed by
men who were familiar with the
whereabouts Of Moore ut the time

NJ Decker and r. Williams were

way tipped n Off" that he had at
HIS home silken shawl valued at

gold embroidered cloth. Hosts OF
criminals who hang around the dives
Of the red light district wish nothing
more than the "tip" on the hiding
places Of articles OF value They then

The holiness with which the
thieves entered the Moore house last
evening proves To the police that the
men had no fear OF being opposed at
that hour, knowing that Moore was
ut work down town.
