"We sometimes think of period furniture as furniture used by the masses tne particular period with which it la associated, as the William Mary, Louis XIV, XV and XVI, Queen Anne, and so forth," Breuner said. "As a matter of fact, real period furniture at the time it was produced in those by-gone days, went only -into the palaces: it did not enter the homes of the common people. "Today, due to Improved machinery methods and factory management, as well as distribution facilities, the furniture stores of the country are able to buy furniture for the masses of the people that was formerly available only for the wealthy.

It was that Steels was aboard the run runner Palermo, now held by federal agents, during the smug gling of whisky at Pebble Beach several weeks ago. The fact that Gerich's watch and valuables were found in his houseboat, and that Mrs.

Gerich's body was wrapped in a cloak which the Woman wore only on special occasions and other times kept in a trunk in her led the authorities to believe that the pair were murdered in their houseboat and carried to the beach. There, according to the theory, the murderers dumped the bodies in the ocean. Gerich's body was carried out by the current, but his wife's was washed back on the beach where it Was discovered a few days later.

The body of Gerich's wife, Mrs, Mae Gerich, also murdered by' the same gang of booze runners, was found on the beach, near Moss Landing, shortly after the battle in which the smugglers turned a machine gun on a posse Of officers, killing one and woundinff two. Authorities say the marks of vio lence on Gerich's body put an end to the theory which was first advanced when the 'woman's body was located, that Mrs. Gerich and her husband were drowned when the boat in which they were fishing capsized. She had been an in former against the liquor runners. Gerich and his wife were last seen two nights after the battle near tbeif home.
