PUTNAM

4 J dencee closed for the season has been reported < from Pornfret where the Dr John Jay place has been entered and robbed. How extensive the losses are will not be known until members of the fam ilyf or their representatives complete their investigation
 :. The Jay house is near the Harrison estate and has been closed since early October. The place has been left, in charge of Peter Murphy as caretaker. Mr. Murphy has made periodical visits to the house to see that nothing was dis turbed. That the place had been bur slarized was discovered by passerbys,
 who reported the fact. to MT. Murphy
 An Investigation showed that the resi-
 dence had been ransacked much after
 the same manner as the Arthur S. liar
 dy place in Woodstock. which was raided
 by burglars few days ago. At the Dr.
 Jay house bureau drawers were opened
 and their contents strewn about and, ap-
 paFently, every part of the house looked
 over in detail, the burglars probably se- lecting with care whatever interested them. Dr. Jay is 8 man well along in years
 and unwilling to make the trip from New York to investigate as to his losses. 1t was said at Ponfret Tuesday after noon that representatives of the family had arrived and were endeavoring to | check up the losses, which may be shown to be heavy.
 Police of this city and the state police were notified of the robbery, which like
 ly was committed by the same persons as
 robbery the Hardy residence in Wood
 stock.
