WiIlimantic, DanieIson and Putnam

Entrance was gained by using lad
der, taken on the premises, to reach
window in the second floor at the rear
of the house. The loss is a little less
than two dollars in money, watch fob
and a pin. The evidence indicates
that one man did the work. Footprints
in the snow would also tend to prove
that he was of small stature. All of
the rooms were visited, bureau draw
ers inspected and the house probably
quite thoroughly searched. There were
also indications that the illegal Wis
itor intended to lunch after his work,
but had been frightened away.
The family were out about two hours
from until a little after ten o'clock,
and the break was made during that
time.

TWO MISSING BROTHERS.
Putnam Mann and Montreal Mann Still
Seek Them.

A peculiar coincidence in similarity
IF names of two long lost brothers has
recently caused J. Harry Mann Of this
CITY and Alfred Mann of Montreal to
believe that they had finally located a
brother that each has not seen for
score of years. Recently Mrs. Julius
Cordier OF this city visited relatives In
Montreal. While there she met a gen
tIeman named Alfred Mann and incl
dentally mentioned that she knew OF
a gentlemen in Putnam named j.
Harry Mann and described him to her
recent acquaintance. That gentleman
then stated to Mrs. Cordier that he has
a brother somewhere in the states
whom he has not seen for twenty
years and more. He requested that
Mrs. Cordier take letter from him 10
the Mr.. Mann in Putnam When she re-
turned and she complied with his re-
quest.
Oddly enough. Mr.. Mann of Putnam
has a brother Albert whom he has nof
heard from in twenty years ana Wnen
the letter was handed to him he was
convinced that news from his brother
had at last arrived. on opening IL,
however. his hopes fell, for the letter
was from a stranger. It related incl
dents of boyhood days in England and
expressed earnest hopes that the
brothers might soon be reunited. Mr..
Mann wrote to Montreal explaining
that the case was one Of mistaken
identity. His father was born In
Providence. his mother in Kentucky,
and Mr.. Mann in New Orleans. lie
has never been in England.
These fucts firmly establish that no
relationship exists between the men
and both must wait to hear from the
two missing brothers who have been
silent for so long a time.
