of IIenrico county
The residence entered was that Of Mrs.
Susie Tcnser. on Lewis Street. Mrs. Tenser

a Richmond bag factory. She lives with
her gransson who Is also at work during
the day. The house is, therefdle. unoccu-
pied considerable portion Of the twen-
ty-four hours.
Thursday afternoon between and 6
o'clock the place was houughly ran
sacked. despite the fact that 1t was broad
daylight In a thiciily settled portion OF
the town, and that just across the street
livoy a county magistrate. "a pane In n
rear window was smashed. opening the
way for the removal of broomstick that
he'd the sash down. When Mrs. Tcnser
returned home. she found the house up
set and everything In confusion. Blu: eaus
and closets and everything else at hand
had been pried into and clothing was
strewn from garrett to cellar in the utmost
disorder. StranB to say. nothing APP
