In cabinet made expressly for
the purpose are the tools used in
the. Manhattan Bank robbery, which
occurred October 81, 1878. when the
amount. of ez.794, 400 in bonds and
money was stolen. In the centre of
the case are the portraits of John
Hope and Abe Coakley. The form er
is serving a sentence of twenty
years for the crime, and the latter
escaped conviction. The tools used
in the robbery comprise everything
known to the burglars art. There
are two sledges, filed with lead, SO
that their noise would be deadened.
There is a safe cutter, with movable
break it could be instantly replaced.
| Then there are drills and drags,
powder fuses and jimmies that
would gladden. the heart Of a pros
fe>sional cracksman. The collection
is worth a good deal of money.
In the cabinet to the left IF the
Manhatten Bank collection is an
axe with the following inception:
"rhis is the axe with which Denis
Hartuett struck Henry Hsnnon,
Dec. s, 1869, at No. SO Mulberry
street. Harmon ives taken 10 the
city hospital, where he died Febru-
airy 18th, 1879. Prior TO his death,
however, Coroner Flynn took the
unWsTIanted liberty OF d;scharging
the murderer, contrary to the ex
pressed language of the head sur
geOn, who stated that Harmon could
not live. Hsrtnett fed to E rope"
