SUMMER RESIDENCES
THIEVES AT LARGE-
The thieves who broke into the
honres of the four East Side summer
residences, early last Wednesday
morning, are still at large. No in?
ther losses have been discovered ex-
cept for those already given out. The
police, together with Captain Cronan
and two plain clotliesnien from the
Bridgeport department, are working
on the case, but so far without any
definite results.

E. E. Hinkle, the Greens Farms resi-

found $400 worth of the loot taken.
There is substantial proof that the
