ported today that actor Greg

picked up a fireplace poker and
went outside, but the men, ig-
nored her and continued to-
ward the house. Mrs. Peck said
she then saw a third man. and
she asked him what he wanted.
"Who are you," he replied.
Mrs. Peck then ran back into
the house and called her hus-
band.
The men fed as Mr.. PECK
threw on a bathrobe and came
dashing out of the house.
1t. Briscoe said the three
men could have been merely
curious persons.
