>From Sussex Independent, Friday, May 15, 1903: "The house of John Leavitt Griggs, son of ex-Attorney General John W. Griggs, at 268 East Thirtieth Street, Paterson, was entered by burglars at an early hour last Thursday morning and ransacked, from to bottom, the thieves escaping with considerable money and jewelry. Entrance was gained by forcing a window in the kitchen, on the ground floor. One of the thieves made his way upstairs to Mr. Griggs' sleeping apartments and awakened him by stumbling over a chair. Leavitt took inthe situation at once and grabbed his revolver, which he kept under his pillow. He blazed away three times, and with a shriek of pain the burglar fled down the stairs and escaped through the window he came in. Mr. Griggs believes that at least one of the bullets took effect. Mr. Griggs hastily slipped into his clothes and started in pursuit, but was unable to get trace of them. The police were notified and two detective sergeants were put on the case. Under ordinry circumstances Leavitt, like his father, is an excellent shot, and the chances are that had the lights been good these fellows would do no more burglarizing." Mona in Indiana
