beyond all doubt that the Hall safe, manufac-

safe represented. There We're safes from half
a dozen manufactures in the fire, and their
contents were in all cases between a scorch aud
utter ruin. Some had to be blown open, Others
cut to pieces with chisels; some were mass OF
broken plaster and warped plates: Others
seemed sound on the outside, while within
there was nothing saved. Some lost knobs.
others had the combination completely upset
In every case the Hall safe opened without a
hammer or chisel, and the contents we're
wholly untouched. The County Treasurer's
