That the same man or men entered both places is indicated by the manner of 
operation.At both places the front doors were unlocked by skeleton keys,while 
egress was made through rear windowds.That the burglar is not a novice is 
indicated by the manner in which a key was turne in its lockuntil it could be 
pushed out to make room for a skeleton key.No noise was made at either house 
by the intruders.
From Powers place $67 in cash was secured.The marauder was brave enough to 
enter the bedroom in which Powers was sleeping and to take the money from his 
pockets.The theft was so carefully doen that the sleeping man was not 
disturbed.Nothing was missing from Smith's household.
