been gone not more than an hour when

empty He Immediately notified Sheriff
Andrew c. Clements Of Fairfax County,

Shenandoah Valley were searched in trace
of the robbers. officers who examined
the steel door through which the cracks
men had cut with the acetylene torch said
that that part Of the job alone had prob
ably consumed two hours.
Particular care had been taken lately
to safeguard the Letter liquor trove as
an attempt had been made several months
ago to get at 1t, but the bandits were
frightened away before gaining access
to the cellar.

Washington and Chicago millionaire.
upon which the liquor was stood, is said
to be worth $t,000O 900 and is one of the
show places of the Virginia suburbs Of

of the Letter family for several years and
the Loesbeurg pike, where the robbers
