RED AUTO "YEGGS" ACTIVE
ON LONG ISLAND AGAIN
Bandit Trio Wreck Safes in
Postoffice and Railroad Sta
tion-Get Away with 5000.

Riverhead. Long Island, June 22-The
expert safe crackers" who have wrecked
about a dozen safes in various parts OF
this county within the last year and
have eluded arrest blew open last night
a safe In the railroad office at Cutchogue
and also the postoffice safe in Peconic,
and then sped away in an automobile
To-day practically all the railroad de-
tectives, a number of government in
spectors and the police and constables
Of nearly every village on Long Island
are seeking them.
This gang Of "yeggmen." which con-
sists of two tall men and one short man,
using a little red automobile with a
small seat in the rear. has been seen In
various parts Of the county within the
last year. The trio. with their machine,
were seen I'm Peconic late yesterday az
ternoon and early last night. They were
seen to pass the general store of Jeffer-
son & Co, on the main road. Later AT
night the machine was seen in a side
road not far from the general store,
which also contained the postoffice.
About 1880 o'clock this morning Louis
jefferson. the postmaster, who lives d.
rectly across the street from the post
office, was awakened by an explosion.
He reached the window in time TO see
three men jump into the red automobile
and speed away toward Riverhead. JEFF
ferson says there was nothing in the
safe for the "yeggs" to get, as he had
taken all the money and stamps to his
home
Ernest W. Morrell station agent at the
Long Island Railroad station at Cutch-
ogue twelve miles east, discovered this
morning that the safe had been blown
open during the night and 5000 in cash
taken. This money Morrell says was
in tho safe of the Adams Express Com
pany and did not belong TO the railroad,
as II was the receipts ofsyesterday for
the express company.
No one about the station can be found
who heard the explosion or saw the
men. but the authorities are convinced
that this job was the work Of the same
trio that operated a few hours earlier in
Peconic.
The authorities believe that this same
gang blew the safe in the Mattituck
Bank few months ago and got away
with $4,000.
