DAYLIGHT BURGLARS
STEAL FROM HOMES
Jewelry Is Taken From Resi-
denceS of l.. B. Eddy and
w. S. Ferris.

The details Of two moro daring day
light burglaries came to light yester-
day at police headquarters.
L. E. Eddy, 107s Fast First South
street, reported Thursday that his
home had been entered last Tuesday
afternoon and more than $500 worth
of jewelrv stolen The theft was not
discovered until two days later.
the home OF W. S. Ferris, 1879 East
First South street, next door TO the
Eddy residence, was entered the same
afternoon, presumably. and $400 worth
of iewelry stolen The robbery at the
Ferris home was not discovered until
the following day.
Mrs. Ferris and Mrs. Eddy went out
together Tuesday afternoon and were
absent from their respective homes Tor
three hours. Upon returning Mrs. Fer
rs found the front door lock had been
tampered with and was out of order.
However, she suspected nothing at the
ltime, rs the interior Of the house bore
no evidence OF intrusion, The next day
she missed her valuables and informed
the police. Aroused to suspicion by
her neighbor' Is loss Mrs. Eddy looked
for her jewelry and discovered that 1t
w2s missing.
in both instances the burglars took
only jcwelry and did not disturb other
contents of the houses. From the Eddy
home ono siguet ring. one plain wed,
ding ring. one ruby doublet ring con-
taining three large rubies set diagon-
ally, one wire gold ring set with pearls,
one gold watch and a Columbian fifty
cent piece were taken. From the Fer
ris home one solitaire diamond ring in
a Tiffany setting. one five-stone dia-
mond ring, each stone of about one.half
karat. and one ring set with two tur-
ouoisc and two pearls, were stolen.
The police attribute these two rob
berries TO the same man or men who
have been Systematically robbing the
apartment houses of the city during
the last month. A score Of burglaries,
all bearing the evidences OF tho ssmo
expert method Of operation bave been
reported recently. In almost very case
entrance has been gained by means
of pass keys and only the most vnlu-
able articles have been stolen. So
quietly and smoothly havo tho bur
glars operated that in many instances
the losses have not been discovered un
til several days after tho robberies oc-
Cured.
