The robbery of tho Bank at N ew Westminster today is com
parable on this continent only I) the looting of the Manhattan
and Ocean banks in New -York and the Kensington bank
in Philadelphia by Jiminic Hope and his gang in the lato (30's
and 70's.
The Kensington trick was turned after Hope had got tho bank
president to stntion several of his men, garbed as police, in the
vaults, alleging tnai me ponce department nnu work or an in
tended robbery. The gang got away with $80,000.
In tho finme year 18C9 Hope and his men rented a base
ment beneath the vaults of the O ccan bank and spent days dig
ing through the floor. Finally they removed moro than $1,000,
000, in bonds and gold, but threw away the bonds and escaped
with only a few thousand dollars in gold.
In an early moraine raid on the Manhattan bank October 27,
1878, the Hope gang overpowered the watchman and stole secur
ities and money to the amount of $2,500,700, most of it, however,
in non-negotiable securities. Jimmy Hope, leader of the gang,
was caught and sent to prison while trying to rob the Sather bank
in San Francisco in 1881.

NEW WESTMINSTER, B. C.
Sept. 15. At an early hour this
morning three men entered the Bank
of Montreal here by nn unprotected
little window in the xcar, dug through
the brick wall into the vault,
.wrecked tho cngedoop-Bnd-blew'oprn
tne sale, toot approximately .$315,
000 in gold and bills, left $20,000 "n
gold on the bed where they had piled
their loot and about $8,000 moro un
molested in the safe, and made good
their escape.
This in brief is tho story of the
most daring nnd successful bank
robbery ever, pulled off in this city.
That it was the work of experts is
evident from the tools they used,
some of which they left behind in
their haste to make good their es
cape. Janitor Arrives on Scene.
It is impossible to say just when
tho men effected their entrance in
to the bank, but is is presumed that
it was somewhere about three o'clock
in the morning, for when the Chi
nese janitor arrived shortly after 4
o'clock to clean up, he found that
three men had been doing n little
cleaning up on their own account,
and before the Chinaman could give
tho alarm ho was sandbagged and
tied to a chair. Then the robbers
proceeded to collect the gold and
bills from tho vault and left the
building some time before 5 o'clock,
taking fully a quarter of a million
dollars with them, and leaving about
$100,000 in the vault behind them.
Tho only clue to tho robbers is
that afforded by the Chinese jani
tor, who says that two of tho men
wero short and small nnd that the
third man was n big fellow. All
threo wore masks.
Policemen Near at Hand.
Whie the robbers wore nt work in
tho bank thoro was at least one po
licemen within fifty yards of the
building and nnother slept near it,
nnd yet tho explosion that blow tho
safe door open wns not heard by
them. Thero is only one building bo
tweon the bank and the police sta
tion itself, but tho explosion wns
not henrd thero eithor.
Tho first known of tho robbery
was when tho Chinaman appeared nt
tho polico station nt 5:30 o'clock
and gave tho nlarm. Ho hnd man
aged to work his bonds looso after
tho robbers hnd dopnrtod. Chief of
t'olioo Bradshaw hurried to tho
scene, and all of tho avioblo officers
wore pressed into sorvico, but tho
only eltio obtniunblo was thnt given
by tho Chinaman. From tho thor
oughness of tho job and tho tools
with which tho work was dono, the
local officers beliovo tho snmo gang
that has recently been nt work in
Vancouver, turned the trick here.
Stole Motor Car.
Lntor in tho morning nnother feat
uro wns added to the robbory by tho
report that tho motorcar of T. J.
Trapp, which is ono of the Inrgost
and most poworful automobiles in
tho city, had boon stolon 'from its
garage, nnd later this car was found
hroken down in front of the Y. M.
C. A. building. It is presumed that
the robbers stole the Trapp machine
and intended to make their ,get-a-wny
in it, but something went "wrong
and ihey were forced to abandoa the
car.
Expert Robbers.
"The bank robbers wore export
safe-wreckers," stated Chief of Po
lice Bradshaw, as he laid out befoie
him the tools which ho had gathered
in the vault. "They must have fired
the charge of dynamite by a battery'
the tools comprise a brace and bit
a hand crowbar, a piece of gnspipe,
several bits and drills and two
handbnrs for digging out tho brick.
They hod chosen their tools in ev
ery way suitable for the task and
hnd carefully estimated all tho con
ditions. Entry had doubtless been
made by key through the front door,
then disturbing no lights in the of
fice of the bank they had worked
from tho rear of the brick vaults,
tho walls of which had lent them
selves to easy operations as tho
ricks were not cemented ut united
with mortar.
"Once into tho vault their work
was easy. The cash Bafo therein,
In which the uionoy they had rightly
estimnted rested, could bo drilled
without fear of disturbance and tho
dynamite shot off without giving
nlarm. The bedding of the absent
janitor's cot was taken to jlug up
the opening thoy had made in the
wall of tho safe, thus there was lit
tle possibility of tho sound of tho ex
plosion passing out to the street."
