DARING THIEF
RICH GIRL ROBBED NO CLUE LEFT BEHIND LONDON, Nov. 22. Joan Pearson, who is living with her grandmother, Annie, Viscountess Cowdray, at 16 Carlton House Terrace, was robbed of £BOOO worth of jewels, in a daring raid while the family was at dinner. Though there were twenty servants in the house none saw the robber, who crept in from the rear of an unoccupied house nearby, broke the skylight, crossed the roofs, jumped to the fire escape at No. 15 and thus reached the bedroom window of Lady Cowdray’s house. When ho had ransacked Joan ’s bedroom he climbed back by the fire escape. There was no clue, not even a finger print being left.
