The American Express Company De-
spoiled I'm Broad Daylight-A Safe
Full of Money Stolen Before the
watehmaB's Eyes.
Cincinnati Enquirer, Nov. 16.
One of the bOldest and most impudent
robberies Of these times Of brazen crime
was perpetrated at the Office of the. Ameri-
can Express Company in this city Yesterday
afternoon, in the full blaze of day, and in
part right under the eyes Of the unsuspect-
ing day wa.ehman Of that Office. During
the afternoon a man by the name of James
Munroe, an eX- messenger OF the American
Express Company, was in the Office
eonversing with the day watch
man. During this time a stranger Of
good address, who seemed to know
the messenger, came in and engaged in
conversation. He took '-shine" to the
watchman, and soon engaged him in mark
ing for the cigars, in the meantime en-
gaging him in conyersstiOa-in short, en-
Iertaining and amusing him more than
strangers are wont to do. He grew upon
the day waichman, and in marking for the
cigars enjoyed a run of luck that was Ie-
markable. The fates were against the
watchman, but the pleasant company Of
the stranger compensated for his III run OF
luck.
Afler a considerable season Of enjoyment
their amusement was interrupted by the
arrival of an express wagon containing two
men, who alighted and brought in trunk,
which they said they wanted TO send off by
express. The watchman ceased marking
for cigars and attended to the trunk. This
done, the pleasant stranger proposed that
the watchman should 90 across the street
and Get the cigars. He assented and went,
leaving the agreeable stranger, the express
messenger and the two newly-arTived men
in the.Ofiice.
What transpired during his absence he
did not. of course, see; but it became very
apparent before the time for the Chicago
train to start out last evening. What they
did was to transfer the messengers iron
safe, filed and locked for the Chicago run,
containing from $1,000 to 700, into the
old trunk and shut it up.
When the watehman returned he found
that the ex-messenger had left, and that his
friend who blandly took his cigars and the
two other strangers were waiting. Ihe
two proprietors Of the trunk told him that
they had made a mistake that the Ameri-
can was not the Office they wanted, it was
the Adams, and Immediately picked up
the trunk, lugged it into the express and
drove away, the winner of the cigars taking
his departure at the same time.
When the time to gather up for the Chi
eaeo run came around there was commo-
tiOn in that office. The whole thing be-
came as luminous as the fountain Of light
to the troubled and chargined watchman.
The officers of the Company gathered up
all the detectives in the city, and sent
them out to throw, if possible, the tolls
around the robbers.
