CONTI'S BANK ROBBED.
EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS TAKEN
FROM A DRAWER IN A MYSTE-
RIOUS MANNER.

The Newark branch Of Cesare Cont Co.'S
Italian bank was robbed at noon yesterday Of
some $500. The robbery is a most peculiar one
scepitonni Cont is in charge OF the bank. at
No. 10 Markets., which is maintained Tor the
benefit of the Newark patrons Of the New-York
bank Usually about $1,000 is carried in New
ark, all larger transactions being through the
main bank.
Yesterday morning there was $500 in Ameri-
money some Italian coins that had been
exchanged and some checks in the bank.
At T. o'clock Mr.. Cont went out TO lunch,
leaving his assistant in charge of the bank. The
money locked in the middle one OF three
drawers under the counter in the front office.
The safe. in which there was more money. was
locked.
When Mr.! Cont went out his assistant, Au-
gustin Baldi, went into the rear room to eat his
lunch While there he heard the front door
open and a man enter. He went into the front
ROOM The wanted American hve-cent
stamp Mr.. Baldi went to the desk to get it.
While he doing the apparently
placed five pennies the little shelf in the
opening of the iron grating. One of the pennies
rolled or was thrown on the floor inside of the
counter. The man asked Mr.. Bad to get it.
and was profuse in his regrets at his clumsness.
Mr.. Baldi searched for couple Of minutes with
out finding it, When he stood up the man was
gone. He had not waited for his stamp.
Mr.. Bald marvelled, but went back to his
lunch When Mr. Cont returned a little before
/ o'clock ne went behind the counter, and his
foot hit something. 1t proved to be chisel.
He found IT lying the floor under the cash
drawers, and looking at the drawers found the
one which had contained the cash had been
forced open and the cash taken.
The police believe a man entered unnottced by
Mr.. Baldi, and the second entered after
the robbery had been committed to cover the
retreat If need be. They think the man who
broke open the drawer did and was crouch

is that the man who asked for the stamp left
