It was headed: "Millionaires' Summer Homes Looted," and said further:

"Hillsborough, December 21st. The fourth in a series of daring robberies
which have been taking place in this neighbourhood during the past month
occurred last night when the residence of C.B. Vaughan of New York was
entered and valuable wines and bric-a-brac removed. The robbery was not
discovered until this morning when a shutter was observed unfastened on
the second story. On entering the watchman found the house had been
carefully gone over, and although only a few objects seem to be missing,
these are of the greatest value. The thief apparently had plenty of
time, and probably occupied the whole night in his search. This is the
more remarkable because the watchman asserts that he spent at least an
hour on the piazza during the night. How the thief effected an entrance
by the second story is not clear. During the past five weeks the houses
of L.G. Innes, T. Wilson and Abraham Marheim have been entered in a
manner almost precisely similar. There was a report yesterday that some
of the Marheim silver had been discovered with a dealer in Boston, but
that he could not identify the person from whom he bought them further
than that she was a young lady to whom they might very well have
belonged. The fact that it was a young lady who disposed of them to him
suggests that the goods must have changed hands several times. The
Marheim family is abroad, and the servants...."

Here a waiter touched his elbow.

"Mr. and Mrs. Vaughan have come, sir," he said.

"Send up to my apartment and tell Mrs. May we are sitting down to
dinner," returned Holland promptly, and advanced to meet the prosperous
looking couple approaching.
