Wednesday morning she attended TO her

afternoon she left the house, saying she
was going shopping down town. That
was the last any member OF the Schmidt

Thieves Made a Visit to Frank
P. Taft's Liquor Saloon.
They Drilled a Hole in the Lock Secur-
ing About Sloo in Money.
Clever Piece Of Work Sprague Street.-The Police nves
tigation Results in Couple Of Arrests

whe Frank p. Taft closed his liquor
store, l1o Sprsgue street,at u O'Clock last
night, he put the receipts of the day in
to a small Batter safe, and when he open
ed his store this morning, he found the
safe door wide open, and its contents
gone.
At first, MIR. Taft thought that perhaps
he did not close the safe, and it being
dark at O'Clock in the morning, the
hour of opening, he lit gas, jet, looked
into the safe, and found that the COM
psrtment in which he placed the money
was gone. He then went TO the Oak
land street poice station and notified Ser
gesnt Potter, who, with officer Titrnan,
visited the store. They found that half
inch hole had been drilled through the
fortunate enough TO strike the combi-
nation in a good place, go that the latch
fell back and the door opened.
To get at the money drawer they used
a jimmy, tore away the wood work,
then took the drawer out. This they
took with them, together with every ves-
tige of evidence, and three bottles OF the
best whiskey in the store.
The men, and the police are confident
that there were three, affected an en-
trance by pulling of oicrular window,
about 10 inches in diameter, in the rear
OF the window. On the inside OF the win
dow were a number of iron bars, which
were pushed of. This window let the
men into the water closet, then into
small entry and then into the store. The
safe is located in corner OF the office
in the front OF the store, at the corner
of sprague and Dexter streets, which Is
at ali times OF tine night generously illu-
animated by electricity.
After looking the ore over the police
began to look for the men that dia the

went into the works OF the Union Rub
ber Shoe Company at SO Westfield street
and arrested Morris McCrohan on sus-
picion of being connected with the rob-
berry. He was taken TO Mr.. Taft's store
and there the police were told that
that he had never been seen about the
place McCrohan was released. The po-
lice made another call at the rubber
works and arrested Andrew McCrohan.
a brother OF Morris. Mr.. Taft,
identified this man as being one who
had been in the place last evening and
was apparently stranger in town. The
police thought that he might know some
thing OF the affair, and decided TO lock
him up at the Oakland street station.
The Crohan Brothers came from Bris-
tol early in September and the one
that IL being held on suspicion, does not
deny that be was IN the store when II
was closed, but says that he was at his
boarding house, 331 Dexter street, at 1910
o'clock. Thomas Ryan, Andrews room
mate, and Mrs. Vallesu, the boarding
mistress, substantiate his statement. An
,drews was at breakfast as usual, this
morning, and was at his work at
o'clock.
Mr.. Taft does not know Just how much
money was taken, but as near rs he can
remem Der there were s75 in the safe, $40
or more being in 80, % and 10 cent pieces.
II was clean job, for other than the
hole in the lock and the disappearance of
the money drawer there was not mark,
and the men did not leave the slightest
trace behind them which would lead to
their identity.
Mr.. Baxter, who made the safe, looked
il over this afternoon and said that 1t
was the most clever piece OF work ever
done in the city unless Mr.. Taft had for
gotten to lock the door before he return
ed, or the safe was opened by someone
who knew the combination. Should MIR.
Baxter have the lock to repair he can
then tell more about il; in fact, he can
tell Just how the job wss done.
