Three Men, Louis and Ernest

CHARGE s65,ooo Thief
Robbery of Platinum Was
Largest Ever Committed in
This City; Long Trial Likely

BY Stan Correspondent.
NEW BRUNSWICK, July al
Frank Jersey and Ernest and Louis
Tonghini, all Perth Amboy men,
will come up for trial in the county
court here tomorrow in connection
with the robbery of $65, 400 worth of
platinum from Plant No. /, Roessler
Commerce and Front streets on the
night of December 2S. or morning of
December 20, last year.
The three men were arrested on
May IL, by members Of the prosecu-
tors office, and few days later re-
leased in $1,000 bail each to await
trial. All three were taken into GUS
tody again a short time ago, and
they are being held In the county

to await trial.
The robbery, one of the biggest
In the history of this city was per-
petrated between the hours of s
o'clock, December 2S and o'clock
the next morning. The Perth Amboy
police department were the first no.
titled of the robbery, after which
the Pinkerton men and county de-
tectives started working on the case.
Access to the. building had been
secured from q window in the rear
of the building.
The Office is located on the ground
floor. and there were no iron bars
on the window to prevent entrance
being gained. Once inside, the
robbers started to drill a hole and
pry open the door. but the steel was
presumably too thick to make any
speed. Another attempt was made
to bore a hole and this was also
given up. The safe door was opened
by prying on the hinges.
There were no other doors to COM
bat once the outside door was, open.
1t was claimed at that time the meg
knew where the valuable material
was, and made away with the platin-
UNI. 1t is said that the arrest of the
Perth Amboy men resulted from the
fact that Louis Tonghini once worked
at Plant No. / and was well ac-
quainted with the layout. Other
clues and evidence brought the other
two defendants into the case.
Thomas Brown represents the de-
PENDANTS, while Prosecutor Joseph
