The mysterious robbery of the Man
haitian Savings Institution has produced an inn
mense sensation In Eastern banking circles A
more extraordinary burglary has seldom been
committed. 1t was skillfully planned and exc
cuted, and at every step the robbers were
favored by circumstances There is no ex-
PLANTATION of how seven men, carrying three
large bags of tools, could enter the building
unobscrved at q o'clock in the morning, and
the janitor says he is certain nobody was Sc
GREETED in the building over night, as he made
his usual investigation. II is probable,
however, that the burglars entered the
janitor's part of the building before
daybreak, and went for him Immediately upon
the night watchman's departure. They dis
posed of the millman by telling him that the
janitor had gone into the country The greatest
wonder of all is how the burglars could have
departed at half past with the bags of booty
without being seen.
