FAMILY AWAY,

Burglars Looted the Resi-

on Maple Street

Elwood J.. Goddard's residence at No.
1919 Maple street was boldly robbed the
early part Of this woek by unknown
thieves who after ransaclSlng the house
from top to bottom. carried off quantity
Of clothing and other articles Of value.
The burglars escaped detection.
Mr.. Goddard and his family had been
visiting in Camden, N. j.. for several
days and had closed and locked the house
before leaving. Upon his return he was
surprised to find that the house was hight
ed from top TO bottom and that everything
was turned topsy-turvy Upon examlna-
ton of the premises he found. that the
tront door had been forced open by a
jimmy, or some other instrument and
that not a room had been overlooked.
Upon making inquiries he learned that
teh day before he returned from his visit
two men, who claimed to be plumbers,
had inquired In the neighborhood as TO
whether he had returned saying that they
had been sent there to do some work
Upon being informed that the family was
still away they said that they would re-
turn. That some one returned was evident
by the condition OF Mr.. Goddard's home
when he returned.
Across from the Goddard home is a
park which, at night is a gloomy spot
and which would afford an easy place oi
concealment for any one bent upon rob
berry It is believed that the men concealed
| themselves in a summer house and await
ed their opportunity to effect an entrance
when no one was about. AS a matter oi
/ fact no plumbers had been sent TO Mr.
Goddard's home as no repairs were neces-
sary.
