The local force look upon the robbery as
enc of the most daring that has been per-
petrated IN this city in a long time, and yet
some of the men are inclined to believe that
it was not the work of professionals. They
explain this by the behavior of the men on
11th street, as described by Miss Rose. An
effort has been made to discredt Mr.. De-
sio's story of the robbery. but it is fact
that there is not a detective on the force
who did not think from the start that a
big robbery had been committed. The way
every detective in town is working on the
case today shows clearly what Importance
is attached to it. The facts that have de-
yeloped have borne out the details of the
story completely.
Mr. Desio has offered a reward of $500 for
| the capture of the robbers and the return
| of the stolen jewelry. Besides acting as
| an incentive to the regular men, 1t has had
| the effect Of starting out a lot of amateur
| detectives, and the town is being secured
| today for possible clues.
