greeted the unearthing of watches and all
kinds of jewelry, toilet cases and piles ot
underwear. Everybody was In good hum

shirts, socks and garters was met with
roars of laughter. Ethan Allen, the gro
cer, recovered considerable stuff, consist
ing principally of tobacco, soap and can
ned goods, which were Indiscriminately
mixed In with bottles of perfumery, neck
ties and pillow cases. Seven umbrella

j claimed. Nearly two hours were con
sumed In going over the plunder and there
Is still a good deal of stuff unclaimed.

by people who had been robbed and near
ly all of them found their goods, or part
of them.

robbery of every house charged up
against them with one exception. They
deny burglarising the Lowenatela resi

ver candlesticks, valued at . p, were
