One of the most puxxllng features connected with the big robbery is tha queer prank ptayed by the burglar In leaving untouched In the secret Jewel box Jewels to the value of about $3,000. Why he failed to tako these Jewell U a profound myatery. The discriminate Ing criminal selected tha choicest gems, leaving about a dozen other pieces ot!

Notwithstanding ■ this ' fact, .these difficulties were esslly - brushed aside by the bold porch climb- ' er. who In somo mysterious manner ' had obtained possession of keyi that turned both locks.
