Robbing the Ocean Bank

One way was by drilling hole just be-
low the dial and inserting through this
slender wire bent In certain way to in
tercept the tumblers. Another way. very
useful when it was easy to get access to
the safe in advance OF the actual robbery,
was by loosening the dial and concealing
piece OF paper underneath it. The num-
bers at which the lock was stopped when
1t vas opened would leave very faint i'm
pressons on the paper. BY studying these
Impressions under microscope. Shinburn
was able 10 tell what the numbers of the
combination were.
Ned and Bliss and Raymond were
amazed al the amount of knowledge Shin
burn had acquired OF safes and locks.
When he finished talking they attacked
the heavy oak timbers which formed the
hoorine OF the bank with renewed vigoT--
confident that once they got inside the
vault their wizard leader would do the
rest

through the ceiling and floor. Late one
saturday evening the work was completed.
Up ladder the robbers climbed and
squeezed their way through the narrow
opening into the bank
But they had not yet reached their goal.
On account Of the peculiar construction
OF the vault they had been unable to tup-
mel directly into it. and its thick walls Of
IRON and masonry still remained between
them and tho banks cash.
There was only one way to get inside
by tearing down one whole side of the
vault. THIS took until late Sunday night

Shinourn knelt down in front OF the

Tie bent his ear over K. but The mechan-
ism worked almost noiscessly Only his
delicate sense OF touch could aid him in

This was the beginning OF the enc for
the Lille safes. What Shinburn did to
them at the Ocean Bank cast them into
disrepnte and the frequency with which
he and his associates robbed them during
Inc next few years made them the laugh
ing stock OF the financial world. The
company that made them was eventually
driven out of business--and all because its
former employe, Mark Shinburn, chose to
waste his remarkable talents OF mind and
oody IN career OF crime
Although the Ocean Bank robbery was
very profitable one and its proceeds
formed the basis of Shinburn's first for

friends inclined TO think he had not found
out as much there as he had expected But
this gave them no cause for worry, as they
knew there were no Lille safes in the
Ocean Bank.
Underneath the Ocean Bank was a base

time. Raymond, posing dapper, ener-
getic young merchant. about to open a

bank officials. partition was built to
hide the back part of the basement, and
the stock of goods began to arrive.
There we're enough envelopes, account
books and other such things to make
quite a respectable showing in the front
part OF the store-there were also some
very heavy boxes which Raymond had the
truckman carry behind the partition, say
Ing there was no need to open them at
present.
These boxes contained the sledges, drills
and crowbars with which the robbers
planned to bore their way up through the
ceiling and into the bank.
Through the day Raymond obligingly
supplied the wants of his customers az

that afternoon.
And" said Raymond. they're all the

Raymond was plainly dismayed at this

light.

On scrap Of paper he drew diagram

ing room the noise the tumblers OF the
lock made as they snapped into position
rang out like pistol shot Ned and
George Bliss jumped as II 1t had really
been one and looked apprehensively over
their shoulders.
Mark Shinburn alone seemed perfectly
unconccrned. For half a minute he sat
he feared it might come to life and spring
at his threat.
Then, suddenly. he jumped to his feet
with a deep sigh OF satisfaction. AS he
did so the heavy door Of the safe. yielding
to the gentle pressure of his hand which
still clutched the knob. swung wide open.
The other three safes were as easily
opened and the robbers took their pick
Of their precious contents.
The Burglar Proof" Safes
Just as day was breaking the robbers,
with their satchels full of plumber, walked
boldly out into Fulton street. leaving the
banks front door open behind them.
A scene OF wild confusion met the eyes
Of the clerk who came to open the bank
at I O'Clock Monday morning and found
that this duty had already been performed
Scattered among the debris which sur
rounded the ruined vault and the Jagged
hole in the floor were all the banks pa
pers and bags containing $4,000 in gold
coin. This last the robbers had been
forced to leave because it was too heavy
to carry.
In the midst of the ruin stood the four
safes - their doors wide open and as
empty as the day they left the factory. On
top OF one of them scrawled on one of the
bank s letterheads was this note
