200 acre estate on Louisville S
city limits between II pm. Sat-
urday and 8 am. yesterday. A
s41,000 check also was reported
missing at first, but later was
found.
Whoever went in there knew
what they were doing" County
Police Capt. Bert Hart said last
night.
City detectives Bert Heuser
said he believed the burglary
was IAN inside job with outside
connections.
Someone Knew Setup
The wife of the 83-year-old
sportsman, attorney and one
time solicitor general of the
United States also indicated to
newsmen the work was done by
someone who knew the setup.
County Detective Sergt
James Wyatt said it wasn't
known how the thieves worked
the double combination safe.
The thieves apparently en-
tered the first floor library of the
mansion by raising an unlocked
window.
The detectives said that Who
ever took the money pressed a
point on the library wall which
opened a door disguised as a
bookshelf. Sergt. Wyatt said
when they apparently couldn't
find a button--on Mr.. Bullitt's
desk in the study--that opens a
section of wall paneling hiding
the safe, they forced it open.
The break-in was discovered
when a maid told Mrs. Bullitt
about 8 am. yesterday that a
window in the library was open.
Couple Alone in House
Mrs. Bullitt said the library
and study were in order when she
and her husband retired about
IL pm. The couple was alone
IN the house during the night.
Evening star., 1956-11-26

Their son-in-law and daughter,
Mr. and Mrs. Lowry Watkins,
three servants and a gardener
sleep in other buildings on the
grounds.
The couple heard no unusual
noises during the night, police
said.
But Sergt. Wyatt said the
gardener, Milburn Price, SIS, re-
ported he awoke about 4 am. and
saw car on the tree-lined lane
that winds about a quarter of a
mile from the highway to the
house. He said, Mr.. Price didn't
pay much attention to the car
because the estate attracts sight
seers at odd hours.
The home-containing 10 fam
lily bedrooms-was built by the
Bullitt family about 1880 and
enlarged over the years.
The sprawling estate is the site
of the Oxmoor steeplechase each
spring.
Brought Money Home
Mrs. Bullitt said her husband
brought most of the money home
recently from his law Office. No
reason was given.
Mrs. Bullitt told police thieves
might have thought she and her
husband were away at the time.
They were scheduled to fly to
Boston Friday. but Cancelled
Their reservations.
Mr.. Bullitt served under Presi-
dent William Howard Taft as
Solicitor General and was a Re-
publican nominee for the United
States Senate in 1914.
He is the senior partner in the

CoImor Manor Council
'InstoIIs Hill as Mayor

Harry w. Hill is mayor Of
Colmar Manor, Nd. today in the
wake Of a Prince Georges County
Circuit Court order settling q
hotly contested election held al
most q year ago.
Mr.. Hill was seated at q special
council meeting last night along
with Olin Merchant, third ward
councilman. Both fought a cam.
paign for write in votes in the
election last July II.
The meeting followed an after
noon court hearing in which
Judge John B. Gray, jr., agreed
with the victors' attorneys, Bill
L. Yoho and Frank P. Flury, that
the write-in votes were legal.
Judge Gray ordered the mayor
and town council to declare Mr..
Hill mayor and Mr.. Merchant a
councilman.
The order concluded a o.
year reign Of John N. Torvestad
as mayor and unseated former
councilman Mortimer Rian, both
targets Of Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Mer-
chant in the write-in campaign.
The new decision also is a victory
for Police 1t. Ernest (Mike)
Mulligan.

Smith dropped out as an attor-
|ney for the election losers. The

by Charles Finley and Bowie
Bragunier, who replaced Mr..
Smith.
The political controversy
stemmed from q refusal Of the
former mayor and council to ac-
cept the write-in votes as legal.
Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Merchant then
sought a writ Of mandamus,
which was granted yesterday, to
have themselves installed in Of
fice.
Seating Of the new ofiicials
apparently ends q threat to the
position Of 1t. Mulligan. who
faced dismissal from his Job as
