 Two daring breaks were made in l this city on Monday night, Both were 1 so well carried out that the burglar l or burglars got away without IeaY- Ing any clue te their Identity. It is understood that the biggest haul was made at the residence Of F. L. Oagcod on Washington street. Just what the | value Of the articles and money taken l could not be learned Tuesday night as the police are reticent about giving out information. Outside information places the loss in the netghborhood of | $6,o00.
 From the Osgood residence there was no information forthcoming on Tuesday night other than that MT. Os- good was out of town for the even ing. When questioned regarding the break one of the occupants replied that she had nothing to say" How the burglar gained entrance and made his getaway is not known but it is a fact that he did get into the residence
 and got safely away with his loot
 The other break was made at Pine hurst, the residence of Col. and Mrs. Charles w. Gale on Washington street.
 It is thought the burglary was con-
 mitted between and 9 o'clock. Col
 Onel and Mrs. Gale had dinner shortly after 6 o'clock and passed the evening
 in the parlor on the first floor playing
 the player piano and shortly after g
 o'clock went to the second floor. After reading some letters and attending to
 other things, Mrs. Gale went to her
 room, which is on the second floor at the northeast corner of the residence, She called to Colonel Gale that some one had been there, and upon investi- gatiOn discovered that every drawer in the bureau and ChiffOnier had been ranSacked and the contents promiscu- ously tossed about. The scene was one Of complete disorder. Noting the sit nation there, the colonel went to his room and found the condition was sim liar to that in Mrs. Gales bedroom. The search was continued and the in
 dlcatlons plainly evidenced the fact that the burglar thoroughly searched the dressing room of Colonel Gales and the dressing room of Mrs. Gales as Wou as their bedrooms. Colonel Gales bedroom is located on the southeast corner of the second floor and his dressing room is located between his sleeping room and that of Mrs. Gale whose dressing room is to the north west of her sleeping room.
 The police were notified by tele- phone and officers were immediately sent to the house. It was found that the burglar had climbed the veranda post at the northeast of the house to the second floor. Marks of his rubber soled shoes could be seen on the paint The burglar then evidently walked around The corner and passed two windows on the east side of the house to the southeast window of the col onel's room, where he pushed up the window screen and entered. The win dow was raised, NOiselessly the break CT worked through the rooms, taking the articles from the other rooms into Colonel Gales bedroom, where he looked them over with every chance of escape.
 An automobile bag was lying on Mrs. fI7In'G 4o7- 41z coloneIs room and emptied. In a pocketbook were probably $1O in change, while in an envelope were be- tween $30 and $40 in bills. The pocket book containing the change was taken, but the bills were overlooked, Mrs Gales open face gold watch was also taken. On the back of this was the monogram G. H. R. The works were of the Waltham movement
 In a drawer ia Mrs, Gales bureau were several gold coins which she highly valued as keepsakes. They were Tn q small pocket and were taken. Of the dozen or more jewel cases about the rooms but one was taken, and it's contents were missing with it, The jewel cases were filled with souvenirs collected by Mrs. Gale while on her trips around the world, While they,i were of considerable value none was taken. 1t is believed, because of the fact that they could easily be traced. -NO4|G W1tn the exception or one was removed but had been carefully exam ;ned.
 The burglar took with him seven cents that remained on the bureau in Colonel Gales room, the change re- turned after paying a laundry bill. This, 1t is pointed out, indicated the work was not of an amateur but more or a professional, In the bath room was 3 small square medicine case. This had been removed from its loca- ton and taken to the room of Colonel Gale and there after being opened was tossed to one side.
 A mileage book on the New York, | New Haven and Hartford railroad con 1 taan!ng 8O0 miles was also secured by the burglar, Tuesday morning the po- 1 lice were looking over the grounds and ] they discovered lying on the front lawn | the pocketbook taken from Mrs. Gales 1 automobile bag, empty.
 something over week ago Mrs | Gale discovered a man on the veranda, l roof at night. About ten days ago l Mrs. Gale arose during the night to l look out of her window and discovered l 3 man on the Yeranda roof. She noti- 1 lied Colonel Gale and he called the 1 police, who responded and searched l Tor the man, but found no cIews.
