A moment later Charles Tayntor, aged 8, and Harold, aged 12, came Into the room, having been awakened. They were made to sit on the side of the bed. Theburglar who was ransacking the room found a Jewel case with two wedding rings In It on a bureau and waa about to take them, when Mr.i. Tayntor asked him not to. The bur glar replied tbat he would take every thing ot value that be could find. Then one ot the burglara atandlng guard over the family spoke up: Don't take those wedding rings. I am a married man and have some sentiment about wedding rings," he said. The rings were left, but two toy banks belonging to Cbarlea and Har old, the Tayntor boys, were broken and rifled ot $17. Tbe boys cried and were ordered to be quiet. When the room had been completely search ed the third robber went downstairs and packed up the silverware, lie later returned to the bedside 'ind commanded Mr. Tayntor to give up a $500 diamond ring he wore. Threatened to Cut Off Finger. The ring would not come oft, so one of the burglars grimly drew a Jackknlfe and was going to cut Mr. Tayntor's finger off. Mr. Tayntor protested, and asked perm'i?ion to go to the bathroom and soak the ring off with soap and water. "We will do that ourselves " sa'd the man who appeared to be the leader of the trio, and he did forth with. Then the three men produced s rope and bound Mr. Tayntor's hands and (eet. They toi! him not to make an outcy (or (iftcen mln- utes saying ouo of their numhr would remain on guard that length of time. They then hurried away. It was an hour before Mr. Tayntor could notify the police, as the tele phone wires were cut. He was able to give a perfect description of the three men, but this will hardly be of any assistance, as the burglars were all dressed alike and wore masks. The burglara wore black stilts, black derby hats, kid gloves, and white masks. They had woolen "sneaks' over their shoes. PLAYED TRUMP CARD. The Prosecution In the Gunness Case Springs Sensation.
