Mr. Selltitz couid find nothing of value missinjf. It appeared to him that the 'burglar -was looking for money and jewelry, and flndirVg neith¬ er, tooi< notninig. Valuable ^Iverware, cut K.asa and linen were untouched.
Entrance was made by breaking a piece out of the lower part of the upper window in the eastern part of the diningr room, and then turning .he catch-lock. F'rom the torn condi¬ tion of ¦ti'.ie lace curtains hanging out the winidow it appeared as if tha li'urghr may have heard Messrs. Wessmiller and Selltitz entering the front yard, and made a iiasty exit out the window, his foot catching in the lace curtain.
.Mr, We.ssmiiler had resided here fi' e veari. beine: formerly a resident of Brooklyn. His funeral was held Wednesday evening. Rev. William ii.t'.iij.Ci.er, ot" Ko^'Kville Cenitre, offi¬ ciating. The interment was in Green- finifi cemei/cry on Thursday. He was a bachelor and 49 years old. ]
