MYSTERY IN BREAK AT
 NORTH GROSVENORDALE
Brothers Claim House Tightly Lock ed But Awake to Find It Has Been
 Entered

Johnson Demetrie of North Gros- venordale awoke Saturday morning to find that someone had entered his home, torn up his rugs. damaged his furniture and stolen four topcoats and two suits. Tn the doorway lay an overcoat belonging to his brother which the burglar had apparently dropped. The doors that Johnson claims were locked and barred were open. The break was reported to the state police.
 At the time of the burglary at St. Mary's rectory six months ago Dem etrie also reported a similar burglary at his home. At that time, as on this occasion, he claimed that when he went to bed all of the doors and windows were locked and when he awoke in the morning articles of wear ing apparel had disappeared.
 Johnson says he went to bed in a downstairs room about midnight. He was soon followed by his brother Pondley. The police were told that following the first break special locks were made and that the house was locked up tight before the brothers retired.
