" Every Room-left Silver Blu
Stole Mr.. UlIery's Fur Coat.
Burglars ransacked Jacob G. UlleryI
Linden street residence between ant
s o'clock Sunday evening. They rifet
bureau drawers, took down clothing
and strewed 1t about the foors exam
| ined large quantity of silver on the
| sideboard and left their traces in ev-
cry room except the parlor but con-
! tented themselves with taking Mr.. Ul-
! lerys valuable fur coat, sealskin cap
n pair of patent leather shoes, a pair oi
gloves and about IS in money. The
theft was discovered Monday morning
by Mr.. Ullery who went through the
house upon hearing that the curtains
were drawn. The house had beer
closed since Mrs. Ullery went to Eu-
rope several weeks ago but the cur
tains had been left up in all of the
rooms on the ground floor. AS soon
as the losses We're discovered Mr. u
lery reported the matter to Chief OF
Police Hall but no clew has yet been
found that points in any way to the
perpetrators of the crime.
The burglars evidently made their
first attempt at entrance by the way of
the sitting room window which was
found to have been pried open several
Linden street also bore the marks of a
Jimmy" The house was finally en-
tered by the laundry window in the
rear which was opened after a pane of
glass had been broken out although no
pieces of glass were found outside or
in. The door between the laundry
and the back hall was broken down
and a second door leading into the
dining room, was unlatched evidently
by the use of knife.
Every room in the house, with the
exception of the parlor, was thorough
ly ransacked, but Mr.. Ullery has yet
missed nothing except the articles al
ready mentioned. The coat was a mink
lined garment with beaver collar and
cuffs. the cap was of sealskin with a
purple lining the shoes were of the
Haywood make and the money was
mostly in old coins which Mr.. Ullery
York make We're found in one Of the
upstairs rooms and II is thought they
were left in place of the patent leath-
ers which one of the burglars donned.
on one of the window sills was found
a 32 calibre revolver cartridge. The
thieves must have been searching
solely for money and jewelry, for any
quantity of silver, which by the way is
not in the house now, was unmolested.
The time of the robbery was un
doubtedly between the hours mention
ed for about o'clock as Frank Pratt
was crossing the Common he heard
someone on the piazza of the house.
He gave no thought to the matter at
the time, supposing that Mr.. Ullery
was entering the house himself. Short
ly after s Mrs. c.. E. GRAHAM, who
lives next door. saw two men leave
Mr.. Ullery's back yard. She mem
toned the fact to her husband but
they came to the conclusion from the
description that it was Mr.. Ullery and
someone else. Fred II. Holden also
saw two men in the vicinity of the
house about the same time but gave
the matter little thought until he heard
of the burglary. Mrs. Graffam could
not see the men plainly but she says
one of them was large man and the
other rather short. They went up
Chaplin street a short distance after
leaving the yard and then returned on
the other side, going toward the Com
mon.
curious fact about the robbery is
that none of the people living in the
heard any sounds or saw
must have made considerable noise in
forcing open the door between the
laundry and the hall for it's lower half
was split in two pieces. Chief Hall
has sent descriptions of the stolen
to all the police headquarters
IN the neighboring towns but nothing
has yet been heard from his efforts.
The burglars must have known the
house was unoccupied or they would
never have attempted to enter 1t so
early in the evening.
