interests rented the Macon-st. house. with It's
furnishings to a couple who moved in more than
a year ago. and who gave what seemed TO be the
best of recommendations.
Colonel Conklin congratulated himself on making
a good bargain and did not worry when the rent
began to come In slowly until he failed to get any
reply at all to several letters. Then he came TO
Brooklyn a month ago. He found the house IN
Macon-st. where he had left it, but there was not
sign OF the costly furnishings. The house was
bare. No trace of the tenants could be found
The furniture was valued at 5000, and Colonel
Conklin instead of reporting his loss to the po-
lice hired private detectives to look for IT. Some
of the property found in Dean-st- storage
warehouse, and promptly replevined- 1t Is sus-
pected that the remainder of it is in warehouse
