that the locks made by a certain firm
of safe manufacturers were proof
; against the llanipulatioas of burglars
and experts. But a few days before |
, was approached by he detective l
had been called upon TO open one of
! these safes and had succeeded. The
Incident gave rise to much comment.
'As l was sitting alone in my office
the detective entered and asked me if
/ did not wish to make sOme money.
/ replied that l vas in the business
for just that purpose. lie then ques-
toned me closely as to my ability to
open the particl lar kind of lock in
question. When satisfied that l was
easily able To do so. he said:
" I'll tell you how you can grab off
"a hundred thousand dollars without
the least trouble. The boys know
where there is a safe of this kind
which contains 5000, 900 in paper cur
rency. It is easy to get at, and all
you'll have to do is to walk in. after
they have opened the way, unlock the
safe, lake out 100000. and leave the
remainder for them. 1t is the easiest
kind of money"
BY the boys" the detective meant
notorious gang of burglars which
had been conducting a series of daring
operations. l told the detective that
l had been much given to card play
ing in my youth, thus acquiring a.
strong preference for a lone hand
and that this prediction had become
too firmly fixed to be changed. He
took the hint, and left my office as
soon as possible.

Years ago the business sessions of the

EXPERT SAFE OPENING.
A Proposal to an Expert from Burglars
Through a Detective.

Opening refractory vaults, safes and
burglar-proof chests is a science in it
self, and is surrounded by the utmost
secrecy by those who make a living
out of it, says the Chicago Post. In
q talk man who has been in the
business 40 years said:
1.-THE essential qualifications which
a successful safe opener must possess
is an intimate and instructive know
ledge of the mechanism and workings
of every variety of combination lock.
He must be born to the profession,
and possess acute mechanical concep-
ton.
Nearly every obstinate safe which
/ am called upon to open presents
unique conditions demanding new and
individual treatment The nature of
the difficulty must be correctly dag
nosed in advance, or the lock will
remain obdurate, for machinery does
not move by chance.
"The biggest bait ever held out to
me came in the form of a proposal
from detective with whom was well
acquainted. 1t had been supposed
