RoBS PoSToFFICE SAFE.
Professional Cracksmen Work in Will
Jamestown but Get Only 81.

The postoffice in Wi,liamstown VtD
was visited by professional cracks
men between 2 and 3 O'Clock Mon
day morning. The knob on the
safe in the postoflice was knock
ed off and charge of nitroglyc-
crime was put in the socket. The
explosion shattered the building so as
to break the windows and doors.
When the explosion occurred the
safe fell forward onto a cupboard, the
door springing open in such way as
to leave very little room to obtain
articles within. A small bag of money
containing about $4 belonging to the
postmaster, George +. WILDER, was
taken. Out of reach in the safe was
the strong box containing about $500.
1t is thought that the getaway was
made in an automobile but the heavy
rain which fell obliterated all traces.
This same postoffice was broken into
about five years ago and short time
after the break James Christie was
captured and placed in the penitcn-
tiary at Atlanta, Ga.

YEGGS WRECK SAFE
Enter Saxtons River Postoffice
and Secure Small Haul
Fragments Blown All Over Room-Ex
plosion Heard by Several About 1.3C
Wednesday Morning

Cracksmen who are believed to have
been professionals blew open the safe
in the postofiice IN SaXtons River about
100 o clock Wednesday morning. The
explosion completely wrecked the safe
and caused considerable damage about
the room.
The haul WAS comparatively small. A
registered letter containing $40 was
taken, and less than So in change. A
large book of stamps, about 800
worth, was overlooked and bag con-
tanning change and the key to the safe,
hidden in the room, was not found.
Some postal savings certificates were
taken, but it is believed that nothing
can be realized ON them.
Patrick llarty is postmaster, and the
building in which the Office is located
stands across the street from the Sax
tons River Inn. About 100 O'Clock
several persons in that locality heard
the explosion but thought it was due
to boys pranks and paid no particular
attention to it. When people began
passing the place on their way to
work, however, it was discovered that
burglary had been committed
The yeggs gained admittance by
breaking the glass in the double front
door, reaching through and pulling up
the bolt which fastened one door at
the bottom and then forcing both doors
in.
They used nitroglycerine in blowing
up the safe. Pieces of the safe were
scattered all over the room, some going
into the wall. One piece went through
mail bag hanging in the room. The
force of the explosion broke much Of
Deputy Sheriff George p. Alexander
was on the scene soon after the bur
glarv was discovered and began an in
vestPation.
1t is believed that the burglary is
the work of an automobile gang that
cracked the safe in the Williamstown
(Vt.) postoflice Monday morning.

Putney, where he stole q bicycle and
came to Brattleboro Thursday morn
ing. He secured employment at the
Fort Dummer mill and cluded observa

arrested and the bicycle was recovered.
He admitted the theft.
He was in Putney six days, three OF
which he says he was employed in the
TOY SHOP anu lllt ldol lhiNb III a. 'i''N
yard. On Thursday he asked Herbert
Ashe. another boy whose home is in
Putney, if he had ridden his bicycle to
work that morning. Upon receiving
an affirmative reply, Coombs left his
work and at 10 O'Clock went to his
boarding house, obtained his coat, and
rode Ashes bicycle to BrattlebOro.
Mrs. II. C. Holland, step-mother of
Ashc, telephoncd the news to Chief
Wilson and Officer w. II. Haywood
kept on the lookout for the boy and
bicycle. but did not see them.
Coombs admitted that during his
brief soiourn in Putney he had stolen a
cvclometer from Dwight Smith, q
blacksmith, attached it to n bicycle
which he had and sold the cyclometci
TO the man from whom he had stoler
il few hours before.
When Coombs was asked if he wish
ed to have his father notified of hi
trouble he replied that he was able t.
care for himself. While the case wa
in hearing before Judge Frank Il. Bar
Der Friday Attorney Smith vol
unteered his services in behalf of tn
boy and represented him before tn
court.
