telephone was sought MS the thieves had
cut the telephone wires in the Mayer
home after they had gained access 10
the building.
Il Is thought the robbers visited
the house HI an automobile ms the
clothing removed would make an
extra large package. This thought
IS strengthened by the fact that The

theatre last night, returned home
about midnight and at that time he

change. Il was then discovered that
the robbers had cut the wires leading
from the building to the underground
conduits. 10 Girls manner the robbers
guarded themselves against outside
interference.
The wallet which Mr.. Mayer car
ried in his coat pocket and which con-
tanned money, was also taken. Just
