I rang all the bundy clocks, and satisfied myself that all was right. At regular intervals I made my way around all the floors, and carefully examining almost every nook and corner in the passages and various public rooms, I found nothing out of order. 'Between times I had supper, but was not away for many minutes. There were three other employees with me at the time. This was about 2 o'clock.

strangers in the building," he added, “I reached the first floor at 4.20, and while coming out of the dining-roam I noticed that the case belonging to Pronds, Ltd., had been broken, and So that with the exception of some valuable ornaments, ali the diamond jewellery had been taken. I reported the matter at once to Mr. Kenney*
