WHILE THEY SLEPT ON MONEY.

Burglar Took $5 From Beneath John
Johnson's Mattress.

"I placed the money under the feather bed and next to the mattress, between me and my wife Saturday night, when we retired," B. J. Johnson explained to the police yesterday in telling about a burglary. "When I awoke this morning and had lighted the kitchen fire, I looked for the money. It was gone, and then I noticed that the kitchen window was open."

John is a collector for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and lives at 5501 St. John avenue. The money which is missing totalled $5 and belonged to the company.
