Burglars Loot Allston Home. Child's Ear Remains Heard
Thieves prowled Brookline and Allston for two months before breaking into W C Crawford’s Ashford Street residence. They pried the rear kitchen window, stole silverware and plate worth about $500, left behind after a frightened start. The 4 year old son’s scream likely spooked them. The strike occurred shortly before midnight and the robbers used an ash barrel as a makeshift stool to lift the sash. The quiet street, orchard, nearby Sawyer home, and railroad tracks provide the backdrop for the burglary.
