Information which has been received by
the local police authorities induces the be-
lief that the men responsible for the safe
tapping in the Corcoran building the night
of June "a last, are under arrest In Rock
ford. Ill. They gave their names as Ed
williams and George Everett, and they are
being held at that city for tapping seven
teen safes. seven of which they succeeded
in entering.
Pictures of the two men were forwarded
to this city from the authorities who have
them under arrest and when these were
shown to some of the persons here whose
offices were entered on that occasion they
picked out the picture OF Everett and stated
that they thought he was peddling INK
about the building some time ago. possibly
about the time of the safe-tapping.
further fact Is that the work OF the
men in Rockford ILL.,. in which they were
caught practically red-handed. Is very siml-
lar to that done In the Corcoran building in
this city.
