Bliss, 126 Main street, by a burglar or burglars who broke out a side panel of the window. inig. according to the report made {o the police: One 18 karat white gold ring watch, eight 14 karat gold bracelet watches, four pair of platinum cuff links, four pair of gold cuff links, four platin- um and diamond brooches, and eight bar pins. Ofticer Myron O. Morgan, who was on the beat Tuesday night, reported that he looked at the Blss jewelry window at 1.45 2. m. Wednesday and it was all right at that time. Officer Frank Hen- derson reported that he also looked at the store at 5.45 a. m. as he was coming along Main street to report off duty and he saw nothing wrong then. The burglary was discovered about 6 o'clock by a man named Sullivan who saw a stick with a big mail in it in the front doorway of the store, which at- tracted his attention to the broken win- dow. He told Fireman Bremnan who notified Officer Charles McFadden, ithrough whom report was made to po- lice headquarters from where an investi- gation was started at once. In the opinion of the police the burg- lary had.the marks of professionals’ work who had studied out—the location, figured the time when they would be least” likely to be interrupted and went to work in the quickest way possible to get a limited amount of plunder out of the windows. Besides the jewelry that was taken, there was silverware in sets and other bulky articles in the window, but these were not touched, probably because they were too cumbersome. Along the side of the front door en- trance is 2 narrow glass panel in’ the MOTHER AND DOCTOR TESTIFY IN AUTO SUIT In' the $5,000 damage suit against Richard Pugh of New London over the injury to Robert Willlam White, alias Andriola; of Groton, who was struck by the Pugh automobile in Groton March 29, 1919, Mrs. Anna W. Andrjola, moth- er of the boy, was on the withess stand in the superidr court here Wednesday for about three hours in direct and cross ex- amination. She followed the conclusion of testimony by Dr. Frank . Hewes, of Groton. Mrs. Andrizlo gave testimony astothe boy’s condition, mentally and physically, before and after the accident, his in- juries, the care she had given him and the doctors she had taken him to. Dr. C. C. Gildersleeve of Norwich fol- lowed Mrs. Andriola on the stand. He testified to examiming the Adriola boy last Monday at his office. The doctor said he found the scars of two wounds on the boy’s head which he pointed out to the court on the boy's forehead and chin. No depression of the bone was found, in the doctor’s opinion. The boy is extremely nervous, the doctor testi- fied, and by the tests which the doc- tor gave the boy, the doctor sald the boy showed the mentality of a child of € or 7 years old. The boy could not tell a connected story, the doctor said, would tell one thing one minute and completely reverse himself the next, and seemed to have no power of concentra- tion. Upgn the basis of a hypothetical ques- tion intended to cover the evidence in the case, Dr. Gildersleeve said a blow in the head would account for the boy's present mental condition. In the doc- tor’s opinion, this condition. will be per- manent. The doctor said he believed the ‘| boy had had concussion of the brain. L. M. Crandall, of this city] district manager for a life insyrance company and conducting a business school in Nor- ‘wich, was, ealled to. the stand and asked to produce the tables of expectancy of life which are in use by insurance com- panies. Attorney Keefe interposed objection and’ Judge Marvin stated that he would rule in the morning on the admissibili- ty of allowing Mr. Crandall to testify what thé mortality tables showed the life expectancy of a' 'boy of about § vears and a few months would be.

A clever BURGLARS BREAK WINDOW 0 ROB MAIN ST. JEWELRY STORE —— The' jewelry taken included the follow- | \window, which the burglars selected as their point of attack. Tt looks “as ‘if they had.drawn -a diamond across the window about three feet up from .the bottom, and then broken out the sec- tion of the window below where the dia- mond cut it. across the glass, somewhat curved, at this point, but at the left hand side of the frame, the diamond apparently did not cut as deeply and when the glass was broken out the break here extended {across the diamond mark and into the |Dinc above. { Al the jewelry taken was displayed on ¥ velvet mat in the window, To reach this, the thiefes had provided themselves with 2 stick that looked as if it came trom the cover of a _packing case. Through the stick.a big nail had been driven, making a hook that could be used to drag the velvet ‘mat and its con- | tents' to the hole in the window. Mat; and all were taken by the thieves. i Clifford E. Wilson, manager of the! Bliss Co., notified by the police of thel burglary, after a checking up of what had been taken he estimated the loss at the amount stated. He stated further that he is insured In the Jewelers Securi- ity Alliance, which would pay a $100 re- ward for the arrest and conviction of $100 himself.
