Two Tools of a Burglars Kit Which
Are Made by Many Hands.
To the eye of an honest man no tool
is burglars tool. We're he to find Il:
most approved kit he would merely
think that mechanic had lost his stock
in trade. Drills, punches, bits and
ordinary jimmies have each almost Il
counterpart in open daylight work, and
Only to the sophisticated would it ap-
pear that the bits of steel were imple-
ments Of crime. To those who know,
the two distinctive burglars tools are
the sectional jimmy and nippers. the
first being a steel lar so arranged that
it can be unscrewed into several pieces
for convenience in carrying. The other
is described by the Philadelphia Times
as like pair of curling tongs. the
clutching end being armed with little
teeth, and is used for turning keys in
doors from the outside. The manufac-
ture OF these tools is not, as has been
supposed, confined exclusively to any
set Of men. A burglar, DESTROYS of
obtaining a kit, will go to hardware
store and purchase drills, brace and bit,
punches and wedges, these latter being
in a series, from those the tbi1ness
