HOUSE LOOTED A THIRD TIME. Mrs. Freewald’s Har- lem Boarders Wake Up to Find the Silver and Servant Gone. “PLOT,” SAYS LANDLADY, Her Assistants Disappeared at Time of Theft in Each of Two Previous Cases— Neighbors Loan Table Ware.

For the third time within six months Mrs, Sarah Freewald, who keeps a fash- fonable boarding-house at No. 12 West One Hundred and Seventeenth strest, thas been robbed by a servant of jewelry and silverware. This time the looting of the house was complete, and before Mrs, Freewald’s fifty table boarders could eat their breakfast this morning @he had to scour the nelghborhood for loans of silver tableware. It seems that Mrs. Freewald's rich boarders cannot eat from cheaper ware. Her butler, Mark Bruno, disappeared along with the silver. Heswas a most exemplary servant, neat, well dressed, experienced, hard working. He went to bed early last night, saying that he had @ lot of dirty work to do to-day and would get up early. “He did his dirty work!" walled Mra. Freewald when she came downstairs to-day. The dining-room and the front drawing-room were swept bare of all save tables and chairs, and a piano. Silverware, bric-a-brac and statuary to the value of more than $1,000 were gone. Always Same Detective. Six months ago a woman servant went away with hundreds of dollars’ worth of jewelry. Six weeks ago a butler, Charles Aura, disappeared at the same time as did another lot. On all these cases Detective Connell, of the West One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street station, worked to no avail. Mrs. Freewald telephoned to Police Headquarters this morning. Fifteen minutes later Detective Connell showed up. To say that Mrs, Freewald was disgusted would be to put her state of mind too feebly “Good morning, Mrs. Freewald," sald the officer. “Good morning, Mr. Connell. been robbed again, you see." “Iam so sorry.
