a tall, heavily built mulatto. AS he
arose from a crawling position on
the floor, Mrs. Hardesty pushed his
hat back and looked into his face.
At first she thought it was Mr.. Hard
esty looking for his shoes. The
man said to her: Go back to bed.
I won't hurt you" She then pushed
him away. AS he staggered back,
he grabbed Mr.. HarSesty's coat from
a chair, and Disappeared through the
window from which he had entered
the room. He got Mr.. Hardesty's
watch and spectacles, 81 in cash and
some change.
It is@said he also entered Mr..
Champagne's residence and the
homes of Mr.. Edwards and Mr.. Coco.
