A raSCHAROED MAIDfJ VISIT.
An intoreatinp fscl became known yesterday
whi h may fiirnlah a clew to tho mystery. A
Trlbune reporter lesrned on good authorlty last
nipht the following story. About elght montha
apo a French maid, Marie by name, about thlrty
flve years old, entered the employ of Mr... Burden.
She was with the famlly at Newport last sum
mer, but never enji yed -Mrs. Burden'a entlre
goodwlll, owtng to tba mald'a excesslve M-tem
per, she dld doI pot on well wlth tbe otber aer
vanta in tho household, snd aoon sfter tiie return
of the famlly from Newport to this elty Msiie
was dlacharged. Bince her dlacharge Bhe hsa
been ilvinp Bomewhere ln Blxth-sve., where she
has done work, It is aald, for prlvate famlliea
On Priday morning Isat, tho day of the rob
b, ry. Msrle went t,. tho Burden house st 9
o'clock to eectire, as she Siiid. a bottle of head
ache medldne whlch Bhe had left In her room on
the fourth Moor. Th^- laundry n..ti.i. who was in
the kltchen at tho tim- Msrie cslled, Inaiated
up .n p .Ing up to the room t" eeeure the bottle
rathor than to all >W Mario to do so. Tho visitor,
therefors, remaJned downstslra and engaged the
chi f in conversstlon whiie tho laundry tnaid went
upstalrs. The latter 8 ar detalned for alx.ut flve
minuti-s. and up. ti roturiilnp to tho kltchen found
that Marie ha i gone, leavlng word that she would
call aome other tlme for tho medlclne.
it was Impcfaalble to learn the addreaa or the
Burname of tho dla rharged mald, It is aald that
th- maid had left tiiis informatlon with one of the
aervanta and thst the laundry mstd had plnned
the s!lp of psper contslnlng tho address on the
wall of her room wlth a balrpln. Recently this
alip of paper has dlaappeared, when or ln what
rn.mner it is not known,
(lA/.f.M'f CURIOU8LT AT THB HOUflK.
People returnlng to th.>!r hom<^s from chureh
yesterday morning Btopped in front of tho Bur?
don home and looked with curioslty upon the
brownstone front, which. however, exhtblted m>
algna that one of the greateet robberlea known
in the ann ils of crlme ln this etty had been cm
mltted only forty houra before.
Mv Rurden vas In consultstlon the greater
part of iho day with iho detectivea and St least
a score of tn.m passod in and ont at the front
entrance durlng th,- dsy.
It aeemed as though nearly a!l the friends and
acqualnfauicaa of iho Burden famlly ,-alIed la the
afternoon anl early evenlng to .,ffer thelr eym
psthy. Mrs. Burden received them In tho front
parlor Bo contlnuoua was the stronm of vlaltora
that H was 9 o'clock in the evenlng before the
famlly had tho opportunlty of tdtting down at
the dlnner table.
Rep .rtera wh i triod to paln ac-ess to the fam?
lly dld not fsre bo well Mr. Burden refuaed to
s,-o any <<f iticm. \ Trlbune man called toward
evenlng and Inqulred through a meeaenger if it
waa true thst Mr. Burden had offered a rtwsrd
,,.* 110,004 for the recovery of the Jewela or for In?
formatlon leading to th.- arrest of the thleves as
generally reported yesterday. Mr. Burden denled
that he had offered any rewsrd or had advertlsed
for the Jewi ls ln any way <>th*r than through the
notlce wblch appeared in yeeterdsy'a Trlbune
over his name.
Tho corrldora of tho Hotel Brunswlck wore
crowded all the sfternoon wlth detectivea and
reportera, whoae prlnclpal occupatlon wsa t hat
of waltlng for aome now development. Tho
botel proprietora stni insist that it is hlghly
Improbsble that the hotel was uaed aa a
mesna of scccaa to the rear <<t tho Burden
l.ii'is. . It w.is said st the hotel that the only
wlndow through wblch a man could hsve
reached the houae waa cloaed all of Priday
nlght, and, furthermore, thst William Telabow,
the head s/slter, was close bealdi the wlndow

CAPTAIN PICKETTg THEORT.
Captaln Plckett aeemed to agi.wlth the hotel
people so far a* that goes He said to a Trlb?
une reporter yeaterday tbai hla convlctlon was
thst the thlevea had aecured an entrance
through the back ysrd, coming In from Twenty

eai credence al the Nlneteenth Preclnct atatlon
asa that the burglsra had aecured an entrance
through the Btable al No. 4 Baal Twenty-aev
enth-at. Bealde the atabli is a long paaaage
way leading to the rear of the bouaea In Twenty
aixth-Bt., and it is said thal the burglara could
,-,-,--il3l have forced back the loch ..f the Iron gate
at tne Twenty-aeventh-at entrance to the pas

The general Impreaalon was that the case
would be cloeed on Tue*day, and that the com?
mlttee would haaten to make the proea**UBBB
publlc. The yarns told by the Tankee sallor
in.-n who were kept ln the lower regtona of the
