New York Especially A true case
of the man who crawled into his
hole and pulled the hole in after
him is puzzling the police here. And
there is more interest in the hole
than in the man who dug it, for a
cursory first inspection soon showed
that, from an unobtrusive aperture
In the floor of tenement house cell
lar, the hole presently stretched into
| q tunnel, and that the tunnel pointed
In the direction of the vaults of the
East Side branch of the Fourteenth
Street Bank, with deposits of $10,-
100000, and toward the safe of a
jewelry shop next door, in which
there lay 100000 worth of diamonds
and jewelry.
Isidor Garbus ran to the police
with a tale of the disappearance of
his brother-in-law, Isaac Finkelstein.
The man had last been seen, he said,
in the cellar of the tenement house
where they lived. Isaac had gone
downstairs to gather firewood. He
did not return and under the wood
| pile Isidor had found a mound of
fresh earth. The foundations of the
house, he told the police, must have
collapsed on his brother-in-law.
After a few minutes digging the
police uncovered sharply defined
aperture in the cellar wall, about
three feet across, and pitching down
ward under the street. A building
department inspector crawled in on
his hands and knees, striking
matches as he went, but came out
in hurry when he bumped into
what seemed to be a collapse of
earth and boulders. The walls OF
the tunnel were unshored, and only
| the cohesion of the hard packed
earth held the roof up. Whoever
had dug it must have worked in
secret for weeks.
Fearful of further exploration
from the cellar, the inspectors began
to dig down from the street level,
at the same time sounding the cell
lar walls of the bank and the jewel
ry shop. So far as they could learn
both are sound.
Digging continued all afternoon
and all night with crowds of curious
in attendance. The work went slow
| ". both because of the depth OF the
excavation and the necessity for eau
ton. At a point beyond the. first
obstruction a fork in the tunnel was
found, one branch heading for the
bank vaults and the other for the
jewelry shop. In all the diggers had
uncovered about so feet of burrow-
ing, with no trace of the body OF
Finklestein.
There is some doubt whether he
is in the tunnel, for it is pointed out
that the home entrance to it was
barricaded from the outside. On the
other hand, the'police contend, con-
federate could have made the bar
ricade.
