LONDON CAT BURGLAR

LONDON, March 19. Scotland Yard is searching for an expert cat burglar nicknamed Ihe Thin Man”. It is estimated that he has stolen jewls and fur coats valued at £50,000 in the past six months. The police believe that he is either very slim or a midget who. can squeeze through a very window, and is expert at climbing drainpipes. He works alone, is probably his own “fence”., andzis meticulously neat and tidy. It is believed that he was the person who robbed, among others, General Clayton Bissell, the actress Beatrice Lillie (Lady Peel), Mr George Strauss, M.P., and Signor Mignone, of the Italian Embassy.
