NERVY BURGLAR TERRIFIEs HIM
Seattle Attorney Compelled to Witness
looting Of House.

SEATTLE, Aug. 29.-With a re-
volver pointed straight at his head F..
M. Jeffrey, lawyer, was compelled to
submit to the looting of his residence
at 712 Sixteenth avenue. The burg
lar frequently threw the rays of his
dark lantern into Mr.. Jeffrey's face
room. Not once did the nervy thief
speak but his actions showed that it
would not be worth Mr.. Jeffreys life
to make a move of any kind.
Finishing his job the thief sneaked
down the stairway and made his escape
through the front door. Jeffrey fol-
lowed in time to see the thief joined
by another man in the street, station
ed there to give danger signals. The
two turned corner and rapidly ran
away.
More than 1925 worth of jewelry was
taken. 1t consisted of gold watch and
with Tiffany setting, child's gold
ring with heart locket and turquoise
setting, childs garnet ring, baby pin
with pearl setting and three gold baby
rings
Mr.. Jeffrey awoke just after the
thief had entered his room. He arose
in the bed and as he did so the rays
of the dark lantern We're flashed in his
face. The burglar stepped close up to
the bed and pointed revolver in the
attorneys face. Then he made a quick
move about the room, picked up a
watch and a case of jewels, backed out
of the room and hurried down the
stairway.
Mr.. Jeffrey called up police head
quarters and Patrolman Potter was
sent to investigate. The policeman
found both the back and the front door
Of the house standing open. Each door
had been propped open by the burg
lar before he began the search of the
house, that he might have an easy
escape if he was compelled to run.
Entrance to the house was made by
chiseling a lock in the front door and
then working it with pair of nippers
