A pair of slick opera tors who apparently know the workings of the tills is believed responsible. Taken was $120 from The Spa, 382 Slate street, and $35 from Clark's restaurant, 479 Court street, police said. In each case one of the pair partially screened the cash register Irom employes' view while the other opened it to get the money. , Method of getting, the money without attracting - notice was opening an "emergency" door on the customer side of the cash reg ister behind which some of the register's mechanism can be reached, including a lever which will release the cash drawer with out ringing the bell. Apparently one man would use his newspaper to block the view of anyone from the back of the machine while his partner opened the door and flicked the lever, police said. Then the partner would reach around and lift the hills from the drawer and the two would leave.
