While Investigating the mysterious
disappearance OF two gold watches,
Mrs. Sarah Fl. Fuller, who resides IN
the home OF her son-in-law, the Rev.
DR.. Frederick ID. Leete, pastor or the
Central Al f. church, at No. Bis Sec.
ond-ave., suddenly encountered a bur
glar In the clothes press Off her bed
room. The intruder, who was well
dressed. gently pushed Mrs. Fuller
aside, and glided out OF the room.
Mrs. Fuller ran after the fellow and
grabbed him by the collar, but he
broke away from her. on the stairs
he encountered one OF Mr.. Leete's
daughters, but he stepped aside with
out a word, bowed himself gracefully
out the front door and was gone.
The Rev. and Mrs. oLeete had left
the house early In the evening to at
tend a dinner in the Cadillac. 1t is
thought the burglar entered immedi-
ately after they left. but he was not
discovered until the other members
OF the household were preparing to
retire. One of the daughters noticed
that her fathers watch was not in It's
accustomed place. and moment later
Mrs. Fuller discovered that her watch
was also missing. Then ensued the
search which resulted In the discovery
Of the gentlemanly thief. Outside of
the watches the robber secured only
two pins. Detectives Allen and Parker
were assigned TO the case.
