 night and given to Mrs. Eaton, who is

 was to have been sent away Saturday The house was entered through the bathroom window and after the money
 was taken departure was through the
 back door, which was found unlocked. There were $i1 in pennies, $26 in sil- yer and the balance in bills. A purse containing another sum of money WaA in one of the pigeonholes in the desk, but was not molested. Sflverware on the dining room table, the same room from which the money was taken. had no charms for the burglars. The first intimation of the burglary was when
