It Is Called the "OId Man With
Four Legs" and Never
Fails.
INVENTOR IS CONVICT
contrvance Is Made Of steel and Rips
OF Safe Knob Without Making
Noise-"Soup" Sometimes
Necessary.

Grand Rapids, Mich.-A few years
ago a mechanician fashioned few
strips of steel at his home forge and
the grotesque creation Of this man,
who is now serving time in the Ohio
penitentary, was christened "old
man" and by way of distinction he
was spoken of as having four legs.
But Such legs!
When top story men worked in
the Michigan Trust building here on
recent Sunday and tore out the
combinations of two safes and shot
another with nitroglycerin. the "old
man" with the four legs left his
imprints on the safe. Where mis-
feet" had been planted were four
dents. Those marks spoke volumes
to the detectives.
Only the expert safe crackers use the
'.old man The man whose brain gave
birth to this ingenious tool fashioned a
most powerful and useful. implement
for the craft" who use explosives and
drill steel safes for living when some
commonwealth is not feeding and
housing them in exchange for a safe
cracking Job or some other depre-
dation.
"oId Man" 10 Powerful.
A piece of steel fashioned into the
semblance of q narrow horseshoe Is
the framework OF the "old man, )"
There is just enough room between
these strips to enable the "old man"
to drop over the knob of the safe.
-Four holes drilled in the "old mans"
frame furnish the foothold for the four
legs.
The holes are threaded with fine
thread, as are the legs.
Once the "old man" fastens his grip
upon the safe knob the legs are
screwed into the holes. The close
threads on bolts and hole give the
"old man" tremendous purchase
power and with a monkey wrench the
legs are screwed down.
In a moment they are fast and the
"old mans" back is bent to the task.
So short and powerful is his frame
, and SO closely set are his legs that
there is no chance for him to bend
at his work. The combination com
mences to give and as the jaws OF the
wrench twist the legs in deeper the
knob is slowly torn out. Entrance to
the safe then is easy and the inner
compartments, once barred, are easily
battered in.
The "old mans" right hand aid is
q self-feed drill which can be fastened

The mountain republic derives less
