BURGLARS STILL
OPERATING HERE
LATEST ROBBERY WAS RE.
PORTED AT BURNS
RESIDENCE

Burglary and attempted burg
larry are still going on in Key West,
and some residents are becoming
jittery because. none of the Gull
prits have yet been apprehended.
Mrs. Ray w. Burns, formerly
Miss Mercedes Avila, wife of
Lieutenant Commander Burns, re-
ports that burglar broke into
her home, entered her room and
stole her handbag.
The noise the burglar made
awakened her. and her call for
help frightened him away. Short
ly thereafter, it was discovered
that the burglar had fastened her
brothers bedroom door with wire,
so that he would not be able to
get out of his room Immediately,
in the event there was any dis
turbance.
The burglary was reported to
the sheriff's office, but no arrest
has yet been made.
An attempt to break into the
home of a county official has al
so been reported. The officials
wife heard somebody trying to
break open a window, and her
cries for help frightened him
away. Later, under the window,
a soldiers skull cap was found,
and it was shown to officers in the
barracks, who wrote down the
Identification number of the cap
for the purpose of making an in
,yestigation.
