After VanGiesen and His Clerks

man Had to Give Up His Daring
Job-Known to the Police as a Bad
Egg But Money Broker Won't
Prosecute.
Robert Russell, well known Young
man. confessed yesterday to having at
tempted to crack the safe of Frank
Van Giesen, a money broker with Of
fees at Nos 2Os and I'll West Broad
street. last Saturday night. An &C.
count of the attempt at robbery was
given in the Morning News.
The case had been placed in the
hands of Detectives Stark and Wall
for investigation, and Russell was ar
rested on suspicion. The young man
was arrested Wednesday and the de-
tectives felt certain that he was guilty
of the crime. Russell persistently de-
MED his guilt, but broke down and
confessed yesterday. There was be-
tween 81 800 and s1,7OO in the safe, and
hut for the fact that one of the bits
used by the young craftsman broke,
he would have gotten away with that
large sum. Mr.. Van Giesen carried an
unusually large amount over Saturday
night, and that fact was known to
Russell, who also knew where the
money was kept.
The prisoner told the story of the
robbery to Detective Wall and made a
complete confession. He stated that
he sneaked in the Office where the safe
was kept and concealed himself I'M
der a mattress until he had been lock-
ed in After Mr.. Van Giesen and his
clerks had gone Russell left his place
of conceaIment and started to work.
He had secured a brace and bits, and
began drilling through the steel. Rus
sell worked hard and got one of the
bits through the door. While at work
with the other one it broke and he
did not have time to begin a new hole
before daylight. Russell says that ne
left the place early Sunday morning.
The young man is a bad egg. and
while he has never been tried for any
crime he has been caught red-nanded
more than once. Van Giesen said
that he will not prosecute the
prisoner, but will try and have him
sent out of the city. The iron 50 &c
in which the money broker kept his
valuables was badly damaged by rus
sells work. The prisoner will be taken
before Recorder Myrick in Police Court
this morning.
