Clever Thieves Get $4,000.

Aaron Bancroft, a broker, eighty.
six years Of age, was robbed in New
York city last Thursday afternoon of
securities valued at approximately
$4,000, but he did not discover his
loss until Monday.
The theft was committed in the YES
tibule of the Produce Exchange Safety
Deposit and Storage company.
For twenty-five years it has been
Mr.. Bancroft's habit every Thursday
afternoon to deposit the firms valu-
ables in a box rented by them from
the Deposit and Storage company. The
distance from his Offices to the vaults
is not more than 200 feet, and any
one making the trip is in constant
sight of the Office windows.
Last Thursday Mr. Bancroft placed
his securities in large envelope, tied
with tape, and with the firms name
printed upon it. A fight of steps leads
from the street level entrance to the
vaults. AS Mr.. Bancroft reached the
bottom Of the steps he noticed young
man, whom he only remembers as
rather undersized," leaning against
the corridor wall.
Just as Mr.. Bancroft was about to
turn the corner, at the end of the cor
ridor, tall man came running in the
opposite direction and came into col
lision with the aged broker. The shock
threw Mr.. Bancroft off his feet, and
in falling he dropped the envelope.
That was the cue for the under
sized" young man. He stepped up to
Mr.. Bancroft, assisted him to his feet,
and was 80 solicitous as to tuck the
envelope under the brokers' arm. At
least Mr.. Bancroft thought it was the
envelope that fell. He went on to de-
posit 1t in his box as usual.
Monday when his son, George Ban
croft, unlocked the box he found that
the only envelope there contained
three old newspapers. A clever substi
tuition had been effected.
