SAFE-BLOWERS CONFINE
DISC0VERER IN CLOSET.
Amateur Craoksmen Depart, After
Locking Up Man Who Found
Them at Work.

After fifteen minutes OF waiting IN a
closet into which he had been forced by
two safe-blowers, Richmond Matthews,
manager of cooler No of the Nelson Nor
ris Company. forced the door which held
him and found his assailants gone. Dur
ing his wait in the closet he momentarily
expected to hear an explosion which would
announce that his safe had been blown.
He entered the Office at 1:so o'clock yes
terday morning, and two men sprang out
Of the darkness and commanded him to
throw up his hands, which he did.
They robbed him of 81 and forced him
to enter the closet. He saw that they had
been attempting to open the safe, and
thought that they had returned to 1t when
they locked him up. but 1t appeared that
they left the building as soon as he was
secured
The police do not believe that the burg
lars were professional ''petermen' from
the clumsy manner in which they went at
the work. They were attempting to blow
off the door of the safe with powder, while
the modern cracksman uses nitroglycerin.

been addressed to men whose right to
register Is unQuestioned.

when he called at his registration booth /.

tell him anything regarding the matter.
