The safe la an old-fashioned one and could al most be broken into , With a sUck of wood. All the burglars had to do was to knock off the knob with a hammer, and complete the Job by disarranging the combination with a steel punch. Then the door could be swunc open with ease. Whoever did the Job were very deliber ate In their movements, as they evident ly counted over the -money, -and divided it before leaving, the building. This U mads evident by the fact that they leit a .bad dollar on the floor. In speaking of the case Detective 'Cordano said: ,. 'I think tramps did the work. The sledge hammer used in "breaking. Into the safe was stolen front tho O. R. A N. car shops on the East Side, as was probably the other tools I found beside the safe. It is hardly likely ..; that a professional safe-cracker would carry this heavy out fit this far, when It would be Just as easy to get chm nearer the scene of the burglary. -V-. " "It was simply an accident that the burglars hit upon last night as the time for the robbery. I don't believe In the theory that some one familiar with the place had a hand In It but still X may be wrong. Usually there is very little money left over night in the safe, but this being pay day, yesterday's collections were not banked." . - V No arrests have been made.
