rear window open and suspecting Il
burglary had been committed he en-
Tered and found everything All right
The window had been left open by
mistake. and thereby invited 4 burg

seats convenient would make a bIack-
guard of himself if the city provided
him with a seat beneath the shade
of the outrageous elms
