BOLD BURGLARS BREAK
 BACK BARRIERS MAKE
 ENTRANCE ID STORES
Infantile Trinkets Prove Attractive tractive at One Place, While at Another Watches and Sparkling Gems Drew His Fancy.

Sunday night, when all honest folk were enjoying their repose, and the scenes were quiet on the street it was then planned by some un- known burglar or burglars to profit by other mems toll.
 The method used was so bold as to throw suspicion off guard. as the hour was few minutes after H. when one of the burglaries was com mitted. for a pedestrian passing the jewelry store of Gottlieb saw some one in that place just few minutes after the clock had tolled the hour of eleven. He was using no means of disgusting his work, and IS was doubtles supposed by the house. breaker, the pedestrian naturally thought some amploye or the pri- prietor had stopped in lis rlace at late hour for some reasOn..
 The other place was the Moore Jewelry store cn Main street. It ia not known which of the places were visited first, but others han the per- son who saw the burglar when pass. ing Gottlieb's, saw him removing jewelry from the show case and phoned police headquarters before it was known that the other, place wag robbed.
 Friday night thare was anothe: burglary reported to the police ue- partment. On :his occasion Henry Marks place vas entered by the ln- truded coming over an adjoining roof and letting himselw into the building iby ladder through the sky light
 At Gottlieb's medium. priced dia- monds and watches were talk m, while at the Moore place infan,lie jewell ry was more appealing, or perhaps in this connection the chef follow ed the lines of least resistance, and took that which was easiest to get.
 At any event the intruder put in. to practice the theory of Visit and Search" Sunday night, and used two local jewelry stores to practice. on. Gottlieb's Jewelry store on Second avenue, and Moore's Jewelry store, on Main street, between Fourth and Fifth avenue, played the tlistasteful role of hosts to the thieves--Or thief.
 In both cases, entrances to the stores were gained by the pack door route. In the case of the GottlieD robbery a Yale lock on the pack door was cut through; while in the second case, the thief tore off a pan- el of the back door and reaching in, unlocked the door with d key which has been habitually kept in the lock.
 The loss in jewelry at. Moores store is computed to be about five hundred dollars. The loss at Gott- liebs has not been determined as yet, but is understood to be something more than that lost Goy Moore.
 A peculiar circumstance is that in the case of the Moore robbery, noth- ing was taken but "baby jewelry,' y baby rings, bracelets, chains etc.
 Insofar as both stores were tur- glarized on the same night and both stores were entered very nearly in the same manner. a conclusion would be that both Were robbed by the same person.
 A pedestrian passing in front of Gottlieb's Sunday night about eleven o'clock saw the burglar a. work, but supposing it to be sumeoma connect ed with the store, poid Eo attention to it.
 The case has been turned over tc the city police authorities who are now at work on it. Several clues have been found, and it will D:oba- bly be short time only until the porpotratOrc arc apDrehaOHad
