 Silverware, jeweiry and money which was lying in 8 drawer in the dining room buffet was untouched although there was evidence that the drawer had been tempered with.
 Leaves No Clues

 Neighbors in the vicinity recalled when questioned by police that they had seen a young man apparently between 20 and 25 years of age ring the bell of the Blanchette home and then enter the house.
 Later in the afternoon the police received q com plaint that a man wearing Q light gray topcoat was trying doors in the neighborhood of 620 Stanley street and Officer Will liam ODay who was detailed to in vestigate, reported that the top coat left in the tenement by the thici would fit the description of the coat worn by the marauder in the Stan ley street section.
