Surveys attention was attracted to the
store entrance by the presence of two
men whom he saw from distance. Walk
ing toward the place. he saw the men
suddenly leave the entrance and disap-
pear In the darkness.
The patrolman Immediately examined
the spot where the men stood, and besides
discovering the outfit found that an at
tempt had been made TO force the door to
the establishment.
In the handbag was found complete
set of drills brace, oil can and other
tools. Beside the grip lay two sledge-
hammers

the tools found In the bag with descrip-
tion of those stolen proved that the drills
and siedgehamners had been taken from
