MUCH LOOT FROM
RICH WINE CELLARS
Motor Bandits Burglarize TnOccupied
Country Homes-Directed by Mas
ter Mind in New York

NEW YORK. July 22-AIotor bandits
who specialize in burglarizing temporarily
unoccupied country homes of the wealthy
on Long Island and in New Jersey have
reaped a rich harvest in recent months
from the contents of wine cellars. said a
statement made public yesterday by an
indemnity company.
Country homes protected by indemnity
companies have suffered losses aggregat-
ing $3.000.000 in the last two years. it
was stated. and it was estimated that
homes not so insured had experienced
losses equally as great.
In the past year the burglars struck
mainly for jewelry. gold and silver plate
and art objects" said s. III. Foster, chief
investigator of one of the indemnity COM
panies.
Now they go after the costly liquor of
the old days, while not neglecting their
former objects. The liquor is readily dis
posed of and brings high prices
According to Mr.. Foster. the country
home burglars are directed by a master
mind in New York who spends much of his
time studying social-intelligence columns
to ascertain when homes of the wealthy
are to be vacated.
The raiding squads are made up of
carefully selected experts, including safe
crackers and gunner. These squads. he
said, usually work on a commission basis.
uiLihs the loot over 10 representatives
OF the master mind in this country.
One of the favOrite methods of dispoS-
ing OF non-alcoholic loot, Mr.. Foster said.
Is TO rent an apartment. furnish il i'm
lavish style and then offer the contents
of the apartment for sale by newspaper
advertisements. stating that the owner
is leaving the city" or some similar plausi-
bic story. Returns from loot disposed of
I'm this manner are said 10 be much greater
than those obtained in dealing with an
ordinary fence" for stolen property.
