PEORIA SAFE BLOWERS
BAFfLE AUTHORITIES
clare Job Was Engineered by
Friends of Dougherty.

Peoria, an. 9.-Detectives who have
been working on the safe blowing in
the board of education offices and the
destruction of forged script it contain
ed, are now almost positive that the
job was engineered by friends of New
ton c. Dougherty, who wished to de-
stroy all evidence in his case in order
to prevent further prosecution and the
recovery from his relatives of a large
sum of money which is supposed to
have come from the school funds.
Deputy Sheriff Frank Ford says that
about midnight on the night of the rob
berry he was called up and told some
one was going to break into the safe.
At the time he supposed this was a
hoax
1t is now believed that local crooks
who have been implicated in similar
affairs were used by friends of Dough-
erty to break into the safe and destroy
the evidence. Two former inmates of
the penitentiary who were in the city
at the time of the daring robbery are
being watched

mills. became emboldened by their sue

another mill is located. Telegraph, tel
