80. Louis savings Institution Robbed
$1,000 in Bonds Taken.

From the st. Louis Republican, Now 2s
a heavy robbery OF bonds was perpetrated in this
city some weeks ago, but which up to the present
has been kept quiet, as 1t was thought publication
might interfere with the recovery OF the property
ana the detection OF the thief thieves. The bank.
ing house where the robbery was committed was
the Real Estate Savings Institution, 610 olive street.
ana the amount Of bonds stolen was $1l, ,000
The od,ts opegundt OF the robbery Is not even vet
clearly UNDERSTOOD, but it seems evident that 1t was
perpetrated in day time when the establishment was
open during business hours. The bonds must have
been taken rom the safe which Is situated in the
wall, within the space included by the counter. the
only approach to which Is through the door opening
from the private office in the rear. Behind the coun.
ter the clerks arc at work all day, but there are fre-
quently during the day number OF persons who call
on business IN the room In the rear. According
TO the present comprehension Of the robbery,
so far as it goes, tne thief must have entered
this room ostensbly on business, taking advan-
tage OF other people being there TO avoid being
noticed, and, watching an opportunity, passed
through the door INTO the spacec nclosed by the
counter and so reached the safe, and appropriated
the bonds and escaped unseen. 1t seems almost
incredible that the robbery could have been perpc-
trated in this way, but 1t 10 not more extraordinary
than other robberes which have occurred In the
city IN times past. Up to the present wc are IN
formed no recovery OF the property has been made.
and altogether IT s rather ysterlous piece OF busi
There are three doors to the safe. two inside
ones, but tney are all open generally during business
hours.

the white plaster can just as well be tinted

for instance, very light in color, for the side

shellac and the mouldings tinted a dark

vanishing process should be repeated once OF
