ROBBED A COUNT
BURGLAR GOT AWAY WITH
COUNTESS'S JEWELS.
They Are Worth 5000, and the Seek
endorffs Would Like to Get Them
Back-Thief Had Gun.

RAMSAY, Aug. 16.-Search is being made
in New York today, as well as in New
Jersey and other places. for the masked
burglar who made a $1,000 haul at the
summer home Of Count Max Gerhard
Seckendorff, at Ramapo Farms. near this
place.
Count Seckendorff is a younger brother
of Count Goetx Won Seckendorff. The
Countess seckendorff was a wealthy New
York woman and both are well known in
Washington.
The count thinks 1t was shortly before
daylight yesterday that a pistol against
his cheek awakened him. Between him
and the window he saw a masked burglar.
When the countess awoke and asked what
was the matter the burglar turned the
pistol toward her and ordered her to keep
quiet. The burglar told them that If they
were sensible they would keep their hands
up until he got what he wanted and de-
parted. He said he would shoot II any at
tempt was made to give an alarm.
In his search of the room he used an
electric lantern. He found a small tin bond
box containing the countess's diamond
pendants. sunbursts, rings and pins, valued
at Sc, GOO. These he stuffed into his pockets.
He took the counts watch and chain and
n few dollars in money.
He closed and locked the bedroom door
after him and took the key. When the
dozen servants were aroused by the count
pounding on the door they had to find an
endorff and his wife.
Not a piece of the several thousand dol
lars worth of silverware in the dining
room was taken.
