ROBBED PARK TROLLEY
Band Of Bandits in Philadelphia'a
Pleasure Ground.
SIX MEN BOUND AND GAGGED.

Thcn tho Safe Was Broken Open md
tho Gang Escaped With Two Days
Receipts-Thrce Men Arrested and
Held OH Suspicion.
philadelphia. June 20.-Shortly be-
fore 1 o'clock yesterday morning, when
the safe of the Fairmount Park Trans
portation company. located in the re-
ceiving office at Belmont, was filed
with the receipts OF two days, amount-
ing in exact figures to $3.3G0.55 gang
of masked cracksmen, numbcringaDo
ten or twelve, swooped down upon the
place and stole the money, after hold
ing UP the receiver and five other mea,
binding them hard and fast with pic
ture cord. The mouths Of the CAP
turcd men we're gagged with rags.
The time and place chosen by the
bandits were both perfectly adapted
for the desperate work in hand. The
car barn of the trolley company is To-
Gated at Glenside. midway between
the river and Belmont Mansion, in the
ravine leading down from the plateau
of Belmont to the Schuylltill. The
building is empowered in heavy TIM
Der land. and at that early hour is as
lonely and as far removed from the
busy city near by as ii that, city was
thousand miles away.
Not only were members Of the gang
at the immediate scene of the robbery,
but 1t Is a fact that pickets were oper-
ating miles away, destroying telegraph
and telephone wires at Gle terminus
of the park trolley, so as to insure the
defeat of any communication which
the trolley employees would be likely
to send to the detective bureau.
The employees overpowered by the
bandits were Frank Levan, night
receiver; Philip Ewes. night electrician;
Henry Whitehouse, assistant electric
ian; William Cademus, night watch
man, and c. Harry Watson, a conduc-
| tor.
One after another these men were
bound by members of the gang, who
stood over them with drawn revolvers,
ready to fire at the first cutlery that
might be made Nitro-glycerine was
first tried on the safe, but that fail
ing the trolley companys own tools
were used to pry it open.
Throughout the commission of the
crime-it took more than an hour for
the robbers to finish their worl-they
exhibited al. the assurance and show
ed all the characteristics of experienced
burglars There is little doubt that
some one in the employ of the COM
pany, who was either member Of the
gang or in collision with them, had
given them full and complete infor-
nation Of the lay of the ground
AS result of the vigilance of the
police three men were arrested later
in the day in the park on suspicion Of
being connected in some way with the
robbery. At hearing before Magis-
i! trate South the men gave their names
and addresses as Peter Duffert and
Charles Smith, of Newark, N j., and
Albert Leeds, of Twentieth street and
Ridge avenue Duffert and Smith said
they were tramplng from Reading to
Baltimore. Their appearance, how
ever, was too prosperous for Migrants.
in the magistrates opinion, and he
held them in $500 bail each for fur
Their hearing. They were sent to
Moyamensing prison.
