Five hooded gunmen broke into Willis H. Du Ponts Coconut Grove mansion in Miami at 2 a.m. tied up the family and staff, removed about 1.5 million dollars in a Grand Duke Mikhailovitch coin collection and jewelry, and fled after threatening the owner. They kept the 1-year-old child safe during the two-hour ransacking and left in the Du Pont Cadillac, later abandoning it. Police describe them as white-hooded, New York accented, and well armed with a $10,000 bill dropped in the escape. The loot totals about 1.6 million dollars including cash and personal items. Du Pont planned to donate the coin collection to the Smithsonian.
