THESE BURGLARS WERE
JUST HUNGRY, THAT'S ALL

To have their appetites whetted
seems to have been the only ambition
of burglars who early today entered
the home of Charles S. Dodd, of 344
Montrose avenue. South Orange. While
the visitors could have taken any
amount of valuable glassware, they
seemed satisfied to help themselves to
foodstuffs, an investigation proving
that only milk. cake and bread was
taken.
Patrolman John Matte was instruct
ed by Marshal Thomas F. Mcguire,
after the robbery had been reported, to
go to the Dodd home and make an in
vestigation. Matte could not find any
trace of a window having been forced,
and it is only a matter of conjecture
as to just how the entrance was ef-
fected. The police believe that the front
door was left pen or the visitors had a
KEY that fitted the lock. At any event,
he door was partly opened when Mr..
Dodd came down stairs this morning
and a dining room window was raised
a few inches from the bottom.
Mrs. Dodd was awakened by the rain
at 3 o'clock and She arose. 1T is thought
that at this time the burglars were al
work. and hearing her about, made a
hasty exit.
