cracksmen turned double trick in

combinations off safes at II. NJ San
borns florist store. fourteenth and
Clay streets, and at tile Pacific coast
rattan company. 901 clay street They
only obtained postage stamps from
Sanborn S and small coins from the rat
tan company safe, but the unusual
boldness of the crimes startled the
police.
Precautions are to be taken to pre-
vent attacks on other business houses.
as it is known that former convicts
lately released from San Quentin have
been in the vicinity of Oakland in the
last few weeks.
The florists store is a short block
from the police station. Prying open
a window of the seedroom, the robbers
knocked out pane of glass in the
office door and unlocked it by reach
ing through the aperture. This gave
them free entrance to the room where
the safe stood.
After mufiing it the cracksmen
pounded the knob off the safe door
with sledge and chiseL The lock
Of the inner door was then picked open.
Papers and envelopes were scattered
on the floor and other parts of the
store were searched. Sanborn discov-
cred the theft this morning.
The same method was followed at
the rattan company's store. In neither
case We're the burglars seen, although
the Sanborn store is passed frequently
by patrolmen during the night.
There have been several bold safe
robberies in Oakland in the last few
months, but only on one occasion were
the cracksmen detected. and then they
escaped under fire from policeman.
