Wrentham, Mass, November s6.-In

that has occurred in this state ior a
number of years, the vault of the Wren

an early hour this morning, the inside

town is a small one, situated on a bIanch
of the New York, New Haven aud Hart

is that of the manufacture of straw hats,
and across the common from the bank
is one of these hat factories. The bank
and the post office are in the same build

which the post office and bank occupy,
is reached by four steps from the street,
but person standing on the sidewalk
can easily look into either of the rooms
trough the large plate glass windows.
The door from the hall into the bank
opens into space which takes UP about
one-third of that portion of the building
and which is used by the bank customers.
An iron railing separates this public
place from the bank officers and these
officials gain entrance through a small
door which fastens by spring lock. he
hind this railing is another partition and
inside that is the bank vault. The vault
is Of brick and protected by sheathed
steel and two heavy steel doors. The OUT
side door has a combination, and is in
one piece, while the inside door opens
in the middle and is also locked by a

COOL AND DELIBERAT TIE.

So cool and deliberate were the robbers
that they stayed long enough to take the
cash out of the bag in which it had been
tied up by Cashier PlymptOn for the next
days delivery in Boston and left the bag
on the floor of the bank.
How they escaped from the building
and left town in moonlight which made
every thing as bright as day, is one of the
surprising circumstances attending the
whole affair.
It is probable that Mr.. Charles Brown,
who lives directly across the common
from tho bank building, was the only
person who heard the first explosion and
even his recollection of it is somewhat in
distinct. He says that he has a faint rec
election of sudden Jazz or rumble, and
thinks that it was about IL. 45 in the
morning. 1t was sufficient to partly
awaken him, but he gave it only
thought and then dropped off to sleep
again. He thinks that he had slept only
ten or fifteen minutes when he was
aroused by another rumble and this time
it was SO loud that he jumped out of bed
and looked out of the window. Mr..
Brown is interested with his father in
straw hat factory which is situated only
short distance up the street from his
house and perhaps a hundred and n1ty
yaruS dcIOSS Tue common from buo onh~
LuiIding. Mr.. Browns first thought was
that something had occurred at the rae
tory and he therefore looked out the win
dow in the direction of that buliolng.
He saw nothing, however, and with a
passing glance across the common went
back to bed. He says he had not been IN
bed over fifteen minutes when at Lilo
came the third explosion. This time ne
got up and dressed himself ana vailed
| up to the factory Going inside the bulld-
| ing he met Robert Tyler. the Waterman,
and asked him if he had not heard the
explosions. Tyler said that he had heard
nothing, although the time card showed
| that he was up about the factory, making
| his regular rounds. brown and Tyler
spent i've minutes looking over the fac
! tory and then came to the front of the
| building and looked out OF the window
across the common. Standing in front
| of the bank they saw two men, who,
| after a few seconds conversation, turned
| and walke5 around by tbs
post office corner Of the building
and disappeared down franklin srbeet.

THREE HEAVY EXPLOSIONS.

A careful examination of the bank and
the surroundings today. leads to the
belief that the burglars entered the
building by forcing window in the post
office. Going through that part Of the
building without molesting its contents,
they then forced the door into the hall,
repeated their work on the door from the
ball into the bank and then easily sprung
the lock in the partition and the one into
the room where the vault was situated
AS their later work showed them TO be
experts, it is probable they went through
these different doors with little loss OF
time and arrived in front OF the big steel
door of the vault somewhere in the neigh
borhood of half past twelve o'clock in the
morning From all accounts it appears
that the first explosion took place about
1245 and it was this explosion that
opened the door of this vault. In order
to accomplish the work, the combine
ton was Knocked off with a slodge and
either a small dynamite cartridge or
small quantities of dynamite blown into
the hole and the charge fired. probably
by electricity. While the door was not
blown from its hinges the explosion was
severe enough to start all the bolts and
with assistance, probably OF heavy jim
mics, the door was prled open. The COM
DInuUlOu III bu6 iAolao AOot WAS 6Aoc
knocked off and another charge of dyna-
mite blown into the hole. The combine
ton on this door was on the right hand
side and only the right hand side was
therefore blown open, the door opening
in the middle. Even this second expio-
sion, which must have been fully as loud
as the first, failed to arouse the town or
bring any of it's inhabitants or watchmen
to the scene The robbers kept right on
with their work and attacked the inside
safe.
Again the combination was broken of
AID again dynamite was placed In the
opening The third explosion, although
inside the vault, must have been a terrific
one, for the small, yet heavy steel door
was completely blown from it's inges
and thrown to the floor. and it was this
last one that finally shook the town into
wakefuIness From all accounts the rob-
bers must have spent at least five or ten
minutes in cleaning out. this inside safe,
for they not only took all the papers
which happened to be only negotiable
| notes held by the bank and not in the
form of stocks or bonds, but also $500 in
cash, mostly in bills.
