Boring Into the Bank Vault

I proceeded to Quincy.

leading hotel. announced my plan to add

suitable location for my enterprise. AS !
believe mentioned in previous chapter.
this ruse Of the patent medicine laboratory
was one had borrowed from my friend,
Harry Raymond-hc had used 1t TO splen-
did advantage in his robbery OF the Boyl.
Ston Bank in Boston.
OF course it was q part of my pre-
arranged plan with the banker that the
quarters should finally find best suited
for my purpose would be room on the
second floor of the bank building, directly
over the vault we were going to rob.
/ made several visits to the bank before
] completed my arrangements with the
president-partly to carry out my role OF
the cautious business woman and partly
to study the construction of the vault and
see where we could best bore our way
into it.
BY the time the lease was signed the
three men who were to be associated with
me in the new business arrived. With
their help ] secured quantity of bottles,
labels, Jars of chemicals, chairs, desks,
tables and other things we would need il

Among the articles of furniture we
moved in was an unusually large oak ward.

and placed it over the exact spot in the
floor where we planned to dig our opening
into the bank vault.
Then, while one of the men and osten-
tatiously pasted labels on endless bottles
of Golden Bitters." the other two men
crawled into the wardrobe where no
chance visitor could see them and day
after day continued the work Of removing
the layers of brick and timber which sepa-
rated lib from the vault We stored the
debris as 1t accumulated in bags and car
ried 1t away every night.
1t was long job and hard one. The
floor timbers were seasoned oak and be-
neathhhem were two layers OF brick.
In the cramped space inside the ward
robe 1t was hard to work to the best adj
vantage and, besides, the men never knew
just how far they had progressed and
were in constant fear that an extra Wig
orous blow would loosen big strip Of
plaster in the ceiling or the bank.
To our disgust we found after we had
passed through the floor itself that the
vault had a sort of false roof composed of
short lengths OF railroad iron placed ir-
