HOBOKEN SAFE BURGLARY
Antonio Monarco Has a Queer
Story to Tell of His Robbery.

Chief Tanning and his corps of detec
tives of the Hoboken Police are busily
engaged this morning in trying to un
ravel a mysterious burglary that took
place in the city during the early morn
ing hours of Sunday. Antonio Monarco
is saloon keeper, his place of business
being at Fourth and Madison streets.
Monarco occupies apartments above the
store, the building being four story
tenement house. On one side is large
tenement, while on the other Is silk
mill.
Monarco says he closed his saloon Sun
day morning about quarter to one
O'Clock He retired to his apartments
about half past one, and being tired inn
med1ately went TO sleep. He left Il dim
light burning, and large fierce mastiff
to guard the store. Heavy curtains cut
off view of the saloon from the outside,
so that Policeman Leahy. who WAS on
that street. was unable to see into the
saloon during the night.
When Monarco opened the saloon,
about six o'clock in the morning. he
found somebody had been in the place
during his absence. The large, fer ce
mastiff lay quite still aud quiet, and
seemed to be dead drunk. Inis sur
pr,Sed Monarco. but he was more sur
prlsed when he found, a minute later,
that his safe had been pried open and
So $50 made away with.
Investigation showed that the thieves
had enteIed by forcing back door.
They evidently chloroformed the dog, for
a sponge was found nearby. and when
placed by one of the detectives near the
dog later, the mastiff snarled and jumped
away The safe was at the upper end or
the bar. 1t was topped by a desk. 1t had
peen turned over aud drilled half inch.
The combination was then forced by a
heavy wrench or curved bar. There We're
two steel cash boxes in the safe, Monarco
says Que of these was found on the
railroad tracks some five blocks away.
1t had been forced open with stones aud
the contents taken The persons who
returned the box said they found 1t on the
tracks.
There are many suspicious c1rcum-
stances in the case that lead the police to
believe Monarco knows more about the
robbery than ne cares to tell. He at first
told contradictory stories of the amour ts
in the safe, saying some belonged to him.
and the rest to countrymen OF his, given
to him to mind.
Policeman Leahy, who Is q new officer.
says he heard no noise during the night,
neither did anyone else in the neighbor-
hood. Mouarco is a kind of padrone. He
is engaged in hiring out Italians to rail-
road contractors. He is sort of banker
for his countrymen. This was evidently
known by some of them, and also the
fact that he had always money on hand.
Some of cheese, it is thought, did the busi-
ness.
Some two or three persons are suspect
ed, and arrests are expected before night.
