Judge Cole discovered his loss
this morning, and upon investiga-

his garage and procured ladder,
climbing to side window from
which he attempted to pry off the
screen. Evidently he abandoned
this means of entrance and going
to the rear door, pried off the
catch and entered the house. He
then visited the room where the
Judge was sleeping and extracted
all the money from the judge s
trousers. which were on a chair
near the bed. Nothing else was
