Marshal Far nan says that Carey got acquainted with an ''unsophisticated and hard working widow in Baltimore and he got $1000 from her and then decamp- ed. The physical condition of the woman makes the case pitiable one, the marshal says.

The Tren- ton burglary was in a dwelling house the Trenton expedition was far more fruitful for the burglars than the one at Syracuse The list mentions dia- monds, sapphires. rubies, emeralds. amethysts and other articles of per sonal adornment and 1t appears that the robbers got away with enough to fill good sized trunk. The Trenton family was at a dinner when the job was done, Chief Hiner reports.
