THE CAPITAL EVENING JOURNAL. - HOW SAFES ARE BROKEN.-1 An Authority In IlurBlary Gives a Fovr In structive l'oluts. Tho Boston Herald gives an interesting account by a Pittsburgh authority in the burglar's art: There are in this country just about an I even score of men whom no bank vault or safe, however strong, can resist. To reas- Isuro society, I will say that more than half lof these are safe behind prison-bars, Safe- icrcnkcrs nave more than kept pace With improvements In safes, including time looks, cmiied steel chests or eight or nine thick nesses and electric protective attachments. heir tools are mado by some of the finest ticchanics and inventive geniuses of the vorld A full kit of the most approved Dodern saro-worlter's tools costs about 5,000. Tho modern safe burglar is an exceeding ly keen, intelligent man. He can open a faro having all tho modern improvements n from ten minutes to two hours without po aid of explosives, and by only slightly aeiacing it. sometimes ho leavos scarcoly i marir. A first class modorn saf o. whother larcrn or small, generally has doublo outsido and Ensido doors, with a steel chost m tho bot- om, forming really a safe within a safe. the instdo ono being tho stronger. The outsiao door is usually olthor "stuffed" or "skeleton." Tho inside ono is mado of eight or nino shoots, of different temper, of tho finest steel. Theso sheets nro bolted together with conical bolts, having loft hand threads, after which tho heads of tho bolts are cut off, leaving what is virtually solid pieco oi steel, which no drill can penetrate Tho best locks are of tho com bination type, with time-lock attachment. In both cities and towns safes containing tho most valuables have an electric alarm attached. Any t ampering with it will com- nunicato tho fact to tho owners or the safe's guardian, which in cities is cither au electric protective bureau or a central po- ttico station. Weeks, and sometimes even aonths, are spent in putting up a job of nagnitudo, and often a number of smailor Bobs nro dono to carry out ono whero tho proceeds may run up into tho tons of thou sands of dollars. ! Keys nro fitted to ovory door which stands between tho street and tho bank vault by means oi a turn snoot oi brass, as near as possiblo the samo sizo as tho kovhole. and R:ovcred with a thin coat of carbon, which nay, uo applied with a match. A dozon en- trauces may havo to bo made to tho bank Iboforoitis finally robhod. A koyisfittod Blrst to tho .outer door. This courso is fcontinucd until keys are had of every door leading to tho vault. Having tho fivatenman and officials or tho bank down Une, bno of tho last things to do is to solcct i favorablo night. Then tho bank burglar proper appears, le has usually thrco assistants. Tho gang oevor appears until tho night of tho rob bery, and then not till eleven or twolvo o'clock. If there is a watchman, his habits and disposition havo been carefully noted, and, having access to tho bank by keys, it s an easy matter to surpnso and overpow er him. A "crow" is next planted outside, or in an upper window, if there bo ono, to kivo notico, by means of signals or a cord reaching to tho workers, of tho approach of patrolmen or chanco passers-by. A recu- Dar code of signals is used, tolling when to' pease operations and seek cover and whon lo resumo work. ; Next is brought into use tho simplest and yet strongest and most comploto tool for ftho purpose. It is six inohos in length and two inches In diameter at ono end, taporing to nothing at tho other. It is pear-shaped, and n thread extends irom end to end. It i mado of Muchet's tool steel, tho best in tho world. A second wedgo-snaped tap works inside this tool. When this tap is screwed homo It exorts a spreading force of many tons. This tool, "tho persuador," is inserted in tho most minute crack or drill hole, ard, properly blocked at tho right time, Will forco tho strongest safe uooropen with a fcound no louder than an ordinary flre-cra ker will make. Tho outer and Inner dc ors open, if thcro boa time lock on tho chc t, a small dynamito cartridge is placed c iposito, a detonating fuse lighted and thr outer door closed. Tho jarring caused by tho explosion, which makes a noiso sc 'cely as loud as a pistol shot, dls- arrang , tho works or tho time lock, which limns dc i and Is useless, tho clock running down ith exactly a clock's sound when it Ks dolni, tho same. Tho heavy outer door or tho vaul being closed, scarcoly an audiblo sound ri aches tho street. When drilling is necessary a light, com pact machine, which fits tho combination dial plato, and which rapidly drills a small holo abovo tho water rim of the combination dial plate, is used. A small steel broach is then inserted and ho combination knob turned until tho tumblers nro brought into position, thus permitting tho "dog" or bar to drop. A turn oi the iianuio snoots ino bolts back and tho door swings open. If thooporators find on entering tho vault that tho steel chest is an improved ono, they then proceed to "strip" it. Sheet nftor sheet is taken oa uutu tno wonts aroex- oosed. This is dono by using a "crow," which is sectional that is, it may bo ex pended or contracted, as may bo necessary. fo an ordinary observer tho "crow" looks liko tho bar which holds tho "manhole" plato of a steam boilor in place, and is worked on precisely tho samo prlnoiplf . ' Should it bo necessary to "wedgo" a safo open, a modified form of tho old "drag" is used. It is a light but rigid and strong steel bar, sectional, as to suit different sized safos, and for easo in transportation, which clamps tho outer side or tho saro. Through tho bar is run a screw-threaded bolt, with a ball joint at ono end for a re ceiving wedgo On tho other end is worked o railroad wrench, used by track nanus tor ;tiehtcning rails, and which can be procured ifrora toy railroad soction-house. With wedging and blocking, no uoor can resist this instrument. Sometimos a miniature irailroad "jack," such as engineers carry, is Substituted. Aheavyoleat is firmly fast ened in proper position and placed on the floor Tho wedgo in mo craoic, ma -jacK-in place, tho result is but a question of time. Walter Scott's Works.
