the screen off the back porch and

they broke the upper pane OF win

then climbed INTO the store. The
cash register on the counter in the

breaking glass he heard.
The cash regiser is a heavy affair
and would require two or three per
sons to move it. Mr.. Jordan usually
leaves it standing open at night. as
he never leaves money in it, but tol
some reason he had closed it last
night and left his store early.
