was pearl grey in color and not

Roy Raymond, 7 Couch street. ‘
Charles W. Waterbury, 59 Putnam avenue.
The first call of a burglary came from the Wilson home at
12:50 o’clock where the thieves entered through a rear window
that was left unlocked. A noise disturbed Mrs. Wilson who in-
vestigated and found the first floor of the house ransacked and
the window open. A call was sent into the downtown police station
and while the police were investigating there, calls started in come
in from other parts of the second district. .
They next shifted their activities to the home of Thomas F.
Putnam avenue, only a short distance from the Wilson home.
The burglars entered here by way of a rear window but after,
searching the house found nothing they wanted.
They next shifted their acitlvities to the home of Thomas F.
Durnin in West avenue, where they were apprehended in the soil
of burglarising the house. They went into the room of Mr. Durnln
and while they were going through the pockets of Mr. Durnin's
trousers he woke up. One of the thieves, while looking around
with a flashlight, grabbed hold of Mrs. Durnin‘s foot. She scream-
ed. The burglars at once turned off the flashlight and dashed
out of the house. ‘

entering the home of Misses Elizabeth and Elicia Tollcs which has
been closed during the winter months. The lilieses Tolles were not
in the house but \verc staying at the home of Mrs. Manuel T. Hatch.

: Mrs. Joseph R. Taylor, at 33 Fairfield avenue, was awakened
i from her sleep when one of the burglars, entering through a side
M‘llldOW leading into the living room, knocked over an ash tray.
,Sllc heard the visitors walking about on the first floor. She went
to the top of the stairs and turned on the lights. At about the
same time the Taylor family heard Mrs. Manuel T. Hatch, who rt»
sides at 29 Fairfield avenue, scream. One of the burglars had
entered her home through a rear window and had gone to her
room with a flashlight in his hand. He flashed the light into the
room directly on Mrs. Hatch who was in bed. When she screamed
the burglars dashed out of the house.
Judge Taylor, who had been awakened by his wife, ran id
the front window and saw two men jump into a Chevrolet car with
a Massachusetts registration and drive away from the home.
Mrs. Lena Briggerman, 27 Fairfield avenue, sent in a call for
the police. Patrolman Edward Williams, John Moriarity, John
Guarnierj, John Reynolds and David Snifien hurried to the scene
and secured the territory but could find no trace of the burglars.

Entrance was gained into the house of Roy Raymond, 7
Couch street. where the burglars went in through a rear window.
They secured a ladies’ gold wrist watch valued at $40 and about
$1 in change. As they started to leave the house one of them.
evidently stumbled over a rug on the rear porch and fell, drop.

ground and porch. ,
A call was sent to the surrounding towns and cities to be on

The machine had two men and a worn it in it. One of the
men and the woman were in the rear seat. When the Stanford
ofiicer asked the driver for his license, he stepped out of the ma-

In doing so he stepped around to the rear of the ofiicer and whipp.
ed out a .45 automatic revolver which he stuck into the back of the
