Entrance was effected through the
cellar door opening, into the back
yard 1t was unlocked. A panel in
the door, leading down into the eel
lar from the first floor of the house,
was cut out with a knife and the
door was unlocked, admitting the
burglar to the house.
Every room in the large house
was ransacked the drawers of 'chif-
foniers, bureaus and closet doors be-
ing left open as they we're searched
The hurried work of the burglar
is illustrated by his opening every
drawer in a chiffonier in one room.
except one which was locked. In
this drawer which he did not take
time to open, we're more valuable
jewelry than he succeeded in finding.
A watch under some handkerchiefs
in a drawer which was hurriedly
searched, was missed by the burglar
No attempt was made to take any
thing other than which could be car
ried concealed on the person. as the
egress from the house mad to be ac-
complished in the full view of the
rear windows of houses on the oppo-
site square. and of the houses on
either side
The burglary evidently was care
fully planned and timed. At O'Clock
afternoon, all the members
OF the family, who were at home, left
for drives in the carriages, which
had been standing at the front door
for several minutes. At o'clock
they returned to find the house from
top to bottom. in confusion. None
of the neighbors had seen any per-
son around the house.
It is believed that the burglary
was accomplished by two persons. one
who did the work, and the other who
kept a lookout. From the fact that
ii took place in the short interval be-
tween the time they left and return
ed, and from the way the house was
searched, it seems that somebody IA
miliar with the affairs of the family
and house arrangement, committed
the burglary. They have experienced
the same difficulty as other families
in keeping a servant for any length
of time in the last fe wmonths, hav-
ing had dozen or more. The case is
in the hands of detectives who are
working or several well-defned
clews.
