Taking advantage of the police change during a heavy fog, an attempt was made to cut through the heavy plate glass window. This' evidently failed and a substance resembling glue was spread over the. window, which was then covered by thick brown paper. A large boulder wrapped in cloth was thrown through the window, making a large hole, through which the thieves removed a tray laden with diamond rings They were then evidently disturbed. David Bookman, the proprietor, is unable to give an estimate of the value of the rings stolen.
