Thief entered the Stanek residence between 7 and 11 PM during a Bohemian Working men's convention. A secret masonry vault concealed in the cellar yielded about $1,000 in cash and gold, while other valuables remained untouched. Evidence suggests the intruder knew the layout and concealed storage, leaving the front door unlocked and rooms largely undisturbed.
