- and Stole $50 in Cash Pnii-Jo.i sample,
r-. . - w
i-ina nouiue, . hinks Man was
in Room when he Retired.
A bold burglary was committed last
night at the home of Mr. G W Bur
nett at No. 612 East Fifth street'.
A midnight intruder entered the
sleeping room of Mr. R. C. RnrnPtt Mr
G. W. Burnett's son, which is on the
ground lloor and occupied by him at
the time, and stole from a trunk near
the bed in which he was sleeping an
envelope containing $50 in cash. The
money was divided into three $10 bills
and four $5's.
Young Burdett retired to his room
about 10 o'clock and just before get
ting in bed took the money from his
pocket and laid it in his trunk. He
also closed the blinds to the window
but says he does not remember wheth
er or not he fastened them. Mr. Bur
nett says he - had been asleep only a
few minutes when he was awakened
by a noise in his room. He jumped out
of bed and at a glance saw that he had
been visited by a mid-night intruder,
who had just jumped out of the win
dow leaving the curtains blowing. He
called his father and arming them
selves, both made a search of the prem
ises and notified police headquarters.
Officers Farrineton and Squires re-
sponded promptly but no trace of the
burglar was ound. - ...
The distance from the window to the
ground is about five feet and as there
was nothing on the outside,
which the burglar could have
used as a step to climb up into
the window it is the supposition of
Mr. Burnett that the man may have
been in the room when he retired and
saw him place the money in the trunk.;
Coats and trusers were thrown in con
fusion over the room but Mr. Burnett
missed none of these, which showed
that the thief was not after them but
the m'oney.
