About month ago deputy clerk of
the Superior court, Ernest Clapp, va
Gated his old residence on Fifth ave-
nue. for a new one just completed,
block distant. The house had been
vacant as the new tenant did not wish
possession until June 1st. Yesterday
about o'clock, well dressed man
and neatly attired woman were OBJ
served walking around the premises,
but it was thought they were only
looking about with view to trying to
rent. Some children in the next yard
however, told Mr.. CIapp that the man
had been staying in the house nights,
and that he and the woman were in
there then, having gone in the house
from the rear, instead of going back
down street as he had supposed. Get
ting the keys he went all over the
house, but saw no one. Going in the
bath room he noticed footprints lead
ing to the ladder which rested against
the trap door to the attic. Ascending
this and peering into the upper room
he saw two people apparently asleep
on a bed which had been placed in
the attic He locked the bath room
door, taking the key out and went
quietly out and 'phoned for a police
man. AS usual, it took this officer
about two hours to respond. In the
meantime the children, who were on
the watch saw the man and woman
jump out a back window and go away.
Examination of the attic revealed the

the house, even to the bath room door.
