Enters Apartments of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Buscik and Steals Gold Watch, Revolver, Man’s Suit of Clothes and Other Things—Used Skeleton Key.

MILLTOWN, April 6.—Yesterday morning at 8 o’clock there occurred one of the most clever thefts that has been heard of in the borough for a long time, when the apartments of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Buscik on South Main street, were looted by a female burglar.

The apartments of Mr. and Mrs. Buscik are in the Roder building above the apartments of Mr. and Mrs. Casper Growley. As Mrs. Growley was about her housework yesterday morning she heard some one descending the stairway and in going to see who it was encountered a woman of good figure, stylishly garbed in a suit of brown brilliance velvet, wearing a fur hat trimmed with violets.

The woman asked Mrs. Growley where Mr. and Mrs. Buscik were as she was a friend who wished to call upon them. She was informed that they were both employed at the Michelin Tire Company so that they would not be at home till noon. The woman then made her departure.

On returning at noon Mr. and Mrs. Buscik discovered that their apartments had been entered and that a gold watch and chain, a revolver, two rings, and a brown suit of men’s clothes had been stolen. A further investigation brought to light a skeleton key which had been used to open the doors.

The strange woman was first noted on Monday afternoon when she entered the grocery store of Christian Crabiel on South Main street and wanted to be informed of the whereabouts of a Polish family which had recently moved from South River to Milltown. Where she spent Monday night is not known.

Samuel Vanisse, a clerk in Christian Crabiel’s grocery store met the woman at 5.30 yesterday morning and was asked at what time the next car would go to New Brunswick. Whether she went to New Brunswick or not is not known. She appeared to be of Polish descent.Mr. Buscik was in New Brunswick yesterday afternoon but could find no trace of the woman.
