ave. Four diamonds, also the
property of Jones, valued at
$4,000 were taken.
The robbery occurred about
1850 a. M. a few minutes
after Stafford reached the
office from his home at 3510
First ave. N. w. He was
alone and was working at his
desk in his shirtsleeves be-
hind a heavy wire screen near
the safe.
Looking UP from his work. he
says. he saw two men standing at
the further ond of a long counter.
How they got into the office is :
mystery. They might have con.
cealed themselves in an adjoinins
room before the office closed and
waited. or have let themselves in BY
means OF a key.
Stafford scouts the idea that they
might have crawled over a transom.
which was found open. In this event
he would have heard them enter. he
says.
