blown up by four cracksmen. The
robbers secured sum Of money esti-

escaped in a cutter and buggy, and
they are supposed to have headed for
Toledo.
The Fulton county courthouse is a
one-story brick building, situated on
the main street of the town. II is any
thing but modern in construction, and
to this extent afforded the cracksmen
comparatively little resistance.
Four men were in the party which
dynamited the safe, Judging from the
tracks found since the discovery Of
the crime.
A rear window in the building was
first attacked and was easily forced.
This gave the robbers an entrance to
the corridor and the door Of the room
in which the safe is kept. A crowbar
inserted under this door splintered It
from its hinges.

Loesser and that he will be able to
realize thousands of dollars for the
creditors of the woman. The investi-
cation has led to the discovery that
only very small portion of the pre-

as collateral for loans made by Mrs.

portion went as gifts to friends and
acquaintances.
Il is simply the truth to say that
Mrs Chadwick handled pearls. rubes,

show that the woman did not handle
anything but the finest jewelry in the

that their claim on the jewelry is to
