Hallowell House Broken Into
While Owner is at Church

Sunday evening while Mrs. Nina
Erbb was enjoying the Old South
Pageant, some person or persons
broke into her house. Mrs. Erbb was
expecting her son, and so that he
might get in if he came while she was
gone, she left the key hanging in a
place known to bocn. and apparently
to some outsiders also.
When she returned the light was
out and both front and back doors
unlocked. though the key was in its
place. Investigation showed that
some money that was in a purse in
side hand bag lying on a table had
been removed. The maurauder had
gone to the shed, obtained an axe
there and forced the drawers of a
chiffonier. He took nothing from
the chiffonier, probably because the
objects there could be easily identi-
fled. The axe was left under a couch
where Mrs. Erbb found it later. Of
ficer Carbino responded to Mrs.
Erbb's call, but there was no trace
of the intruder. Some idea of the
guilty party is held, however since
all appearances point to the work of
some one familiar with Mrs. Erbb's
habits,

Jarvis admires Mademoiselle Les

meeting and picks up a camellia

dangerous; he talks too much in
his cups. His old associates of

to take command of the Sera-

flag and cruise the seas. He
hesitates. Jarvis is a witness of
the kidnapping of Mademoiselle
Lestron, but his story is not
given credence. De Almonaster
