ford and Gerard have been unrivaled in Con-
necticut. perhaps in New England. There
are strong points of resemblance between
the earlier and later crimes.
A yepr or two ago some remarkable burg- ‘
laries were perpetrated in the elegant cot-
tages at the seashore summer settlement of l
Harbor View, oppinite the Pequot colony on
New London harbor. The thieves went into
the house with a facility that partly justified
the popular suspicion that they knew a magic
word at whose utterance doubly locked doors ‘

afterwards there was a succemioii of bold
burglaries at the Pequot settlement on the
New London shore; then followed the rob-
bery of isolated cottages and several farin- 7
houses in the outskirts of New London and .
along the sound shore to the westward.

about it; but after a week or two of persist

no one being any wiser about the robbers.
At this time a surprising incident was
noted in the local press. and it served to di-

Their final and fatal visit to the poor-house

just prewding Thanksgiving. and the pur-
‘ pose of the errand was to get a single gob-

town of Grown. The lltlllt‘ of tho bird had
. gone. abroad; he was reputed to weigh not ~
