Police are now looking for the "Inside
track" - that will lead to the . sol u tion
of the robberies at the Benson hotel
early Tuesday - morning, which netted
the burglar more than 41800 in "jewels
and money.
. After 24 hours of - investigation de
tectives j are certain that the prowler
was in- a position to be well Informed
regarding the loot that awaited him In
the various rooms. ;'.
They also hold that the asm thief
is- responsible for three large burg
laries in the Benson hotel dur I ng the
last year. . In ea ch- case : '-the bu rgla r

jfrw-etry -valued at mere-than $1000.

, Several thousand 'dollars-worth ' ef
jewelry was stolen November l, .192l,
by burglars who entered the rooms; of
Herman .Winters. New1 York Jewelry
salesman. Included in the loot was- a
platinum set w ith 78 small diamonds. '
Jewelry valued at $2300 "was stolen
from the rooms, of Hamilton C. Kolfe,
Seattle real estate dealer, on the night
of June 21 ' -"
The faet that In each" case the thief
picked big "spoils" indicates that he
operated on a tlp,". possibly from the
inside. -.. ; ....j - ;,..,,.'.;.;,
Detectives. however, s- learned - from
Manager '.Smith ' that five rooms .had
been entered In alL One, he said, was
occupied by persons whose loss Is sup
posed to. have been-over ; $1000," but
they requested the management that
no publicity be given their names. Po
lice were even- unable to learn the
room they occupied. . "
The prowler got $167 if rom the room
of I V. Samuels of Sarj Francisco, the
police learned. He oceppied room 701
on the fire escape, two stories below
the room of VW. I- Hughson, who was
the principal loser with $1400 In money
and Jewelry stolen. Booms 809 and
804 were also entered, but police were
unable to learn the amount of loot
stolen from them. - i
A valuable clue In the ease was fur
nished the police by S Klee of Nw
York, occupying room 5D1. About 8:45
o'clock Tuesday; morning -a well
dressed stranger cautiously opened the
door of his room and looked around.
Klee watched him until; he stepped in
side,, .when he asked- the & Intruder
"What's the Idea?"
TWO BOOMS ROCKED '
"Oh, 1 beg .your pardon, the man
returned and' withdrew. He is de
scribed as 40 or 45 ...years 1 of age,
weighing 158 pounds, and about 5 feet
7 inches in height. He wore dark
gray- suit and a straw . hat. Police
believe - he may be the - prowler for
whom they-are looklng.v
Only two of the ' rooms which ihe
thief entered were locked, according to
Manager Smith. Police say the .in
truder displayed good ' Judgment ; in
picking rooms on : the ' fire escape,
thereby giving htm a double -exit in

however, that in each - Instance he
