The residence of Mrs. Julia Rosen-

early last evening and jewelry and
money valued at over 81. 200 taken.
The job was done in the same man.
ner and evidently by the same par
ties who less than three months ago
climbed the same porch, opened Che
same window and made away with
over $500 worth of iewelry.
AS in the former instance the
thieves selected the dinner hour for
their raid, but this time they profited
by their former experience and took
more time in the operation. going
through two rooms and securing ev-
erYthing of value that could be con-
veniently carried away. Many of the
articles were among those that were
overlooked when the first raid was
made.
Family Was at Dinner
The family went to dinner about
o'clock and when Miss Irene Rosen-
field returned to her room about $50
she found that everything had been
turned tOpsy-turvy in it and the room
adjoining occupied by Miss lille OF
tenheimer. sister of Mrs. Rosenfield.
All about the two rooms were marks
of candle grease, showing the sort of
light the intruders had used. but
there was nothing else to offer clue.
The storm had served as a shield from
the outside and no one saw them
coming or going and the police when
called in on. the case found them
selves without anything to work
upon.
The articles taken include two en-
erald and diamond rings, pearl and
diamond pendant. gold necklace with
amethyst pendant, hair barrette with
diamond setting, small diamond
brooch, wishbone brooch set with
pearls, gold swan pin with three
small diamond settings, ladies' gold

setting. and a number of gold coins
the value of which is not exactly
known.
