At.the,Sales Barn, in any event,.
it was' rnot the work :of `an adult,
for :entrance was gained through
the; smashed pane of a lavatory
window, measuring only , 111/2'
inches square.'. The` .tool used ,to

amazing that entrance could be:.

get to. it from ..within the barn•
by removing the ..lavatory; door,
