MESSED UP; NO Theft
INTRUDER'S CURIOUS DOINGS
IN SHERIDAN APARTMENT.
Breaks Furniture, Mars Clothing
and Strews Preserves About.
Second Case.

The apartment in the Sheridan, 1923 22d
street northwest occupied by Mrs Kate
L. Reed, an employee of the Treasury De-
partment was entered yesterday after
noon in her absence.
Although nothing is known to- have
been stolen, several pieces of her clothing
were maliciously torn to shreds. furniture
was cut and broken and can of oil and
some food were strewn about the floors
and on the bed linen.
This Is the second case of it's kind that
has been called to the attention of the
police in the past three weeks. A col
ored boy, about fifteen years of age and
whose identity is not known to the police,
although they have fair description of
him. Is suspected of being responsible for
both cases.
Description Of Suspect.
A light-skinned, middle-sized boy was
seen In the hallway and lettering in the
vestibule of the Sheridan yesterday after
noon by persons in the apartment. De-
tectives Weldon and O'Day are in search
of him.
The culprit entered the apartment of
Mrs Reed by means of her latchkey,
which she has been in the habit of hang
ing on the side of her letter box in the
hallway of the first floor. When she re-
turned yesterday afternoon her key was
missing from it's usual place. Later, when
she arrived at her apartment, she found
the door Open with the key in the lock
Upon entering she was startled at the
state of things. Oatmeal and coffee were
streWn about the floor. Chairs were
turned upside down. Two curtains were
pulled down and a picture was removed
from the wall.
When she entered her bedroom she
found two shirt waists. one valued at SIS
and the other at 80, cut to pieces. There
was consdera BILE other clothing in the
room that was not mOlested.
Designs were drawn on the bedspread
and dining room table by smears of pre-
serves and jelly.
The intruder had spent much time in
drawing circles and scrolls on the spread
and table. In the center of the numer-
Gus circles, made with preserves and as
border to them. he carefully poured
coal oil. The Oil also was poured on the
carpet.
One Person Did Both Deeds.
Suspicion that whoever did this work
is the person who entered the apartment
house on M street two weeks ago, aside
from the fact that they answer the same
description, is due to the similar char
acter Of the vandalism. In both instances
things were strewn about the floors and
circles drawn on the lnen- In the M
street house ink was used instead of pre-
serves ard jelly.
There is d colored boy locked up in the
house of detention on suspicion of having
been responsible for the NJ street intru-
sion. Capt. Boardman now expresses the
opinion that the boy is innocent, and he
has been locked up since early yesterday
morning.
He does not answer the description
given, either. 1t is considered likely that
he will be released tomorrow.
