RO6BlNG A SAFE.
How a saave burglar Outwitted a Special
Patroimnn In Denver.


A night watchman who was employ
ed to protect a iewelry store in Den
Yer against the ragaves of thieves was
neatly outwitir by the notorious Billy
FORESTER Some years before his death.
The firm carried an immense stock of
gems, and kept them in a large, old
fashioned safe. Forester had by long
years experience become 50 familiar
with safes of that pattern that lac could
tell when 10 reverse and when Ia turn
the knob forward, by placing his ear
close To the door above the combina-
ton. and in this way could open the
safe in a short time. By taking "A wax
impression of the keyhole he made a

ously located the safe in the store, he
was now ready to begin. II vas a
cold, snowy, stormy night, about 10
o'clock, and Forester walked up To
the store with AN air of ownership and
unlocked the door. He carried a small
sample case in his hand. Going in.
he turned up the gas in the rear of the
store and then shook down the stove.
He leisurely worked the combination
TO the safe. and in less than half an
hour he had before him thousands of
dollars worth of costly jewels and gold
watches. AT this very interesting point
the night Waterman came in.
Good evening"" said the cordial
burglar, as he continued 10 remove
valuables from the safe TO his sample
case. Come back TO the fire and warm
yourself; it is very cold out tonight"
The patrolman allowed that it was,
and sauntered back TO the stove.

on the thief suavely. Going out on
the road in the morning, and thought
l would get ready tonight. There.
isn't that a beauty he asked, holding
out an elegant ~Jurgensen for the
Waterman To examine.
Ia this way Forester packed over
81. 900 worth of gems and watches into
his sample case, chatting cneerfully
with the night Waterman all the
while.
As he was abo 1t to close the sample
case he stopped suddenly AS if struck
by a happy thor ght, and then picked
up a very prtty ring. Turning To
the Waterman ne asked him If he had
a wife. The ,'atchman had, and with
a careless lau III Forester tossed him
the ring. saying: Give her that, and
tell her it is mark of appreciation for
the faithful services rendered by her
husband"
The brilliant guardian of other PEG.
pies property vas delighted, and was
unusually vide awake all the rest Of
the night 1t was not until next norm
ing that lac became aware of the hoax
that had been practiced upon him.
Forester by that time was we'll out of
the way. and his connection with the
robbery was not discovered till a few
days before his death, when he con-
fessed il. Exchange.
