by her husband, who had run to the street
on finding that she had disappeared from
the bedroom of their apartment.
Dubiier is an electricsl engineer and an
inventor, Of the Dubilier Condenser Com

Nving room of their apartment. The two
men and Mrs. Dubilier intended to go out
for dinner togther.
AS Mr.. Dub;!er stepped into the living
room Mrs. Dubiier excused herself and
went into ner room. Her husband and the
guest waited for her temperance and
when after some time she failed to return,
the husband went into the bedroom to
hasten her She was gone, and a window
of the room was open.
i)ubliler and an elevator boy, James
Butler, hurried TO the sidewalk. There
they found Knot of bystanders gathered
around the unconscious form of Mrs. Dubi-
iier. They took her up to the apartment
and an effort was made to call physicians

it was some time before telephone connec-

most happy. They had one child. only five
months old. The husband was prostrated

BURGLARS ABANDON
100000 BANK JOB
With Ample Time to Work
Are Frightened Away by
Unknown Cause.
DEEP HOLE IN SAFE DOOR
Heavy Saturday Deposits Offered an
Unusual lnducement for Sue
ceSsful Robbery.

During the early morning hours yester-
day burglars gained entrance to the Rich
mend Borough National Bank. at Staple
ton. S. l.. but were frightened off before
they mad succeeded in opening the safe,
which contained close to 500, 900 in cash
and negotiable securities. The police have
obtained finger prints.
The bank closed as usual at noon on
Saturday and Charles kullnann. the jan-
tor of the building, which is located at
Bay and Cross streets. within a block Of
the Stapleton police station was IN and
about the building throughput the after
noon. Everything was IN order at mid
night when he arrived at the bank to at
terd the fires The building was net en-
tered again by any Of the bank employees
until four o'clock Yesterday afternoon,
when Kullmann returned to again look
after his fires. He first noticed that sew
eral green window shades had been draped
around the cashiers cage.
He entered and found that every desk in
the cage had been forced open and that a
hole sn inch deep had been drilled ir tho
eoor of the large safe which is built into
he wall. He Immediately notified the
police
The bank building is a one story and a
half structure and extends through from
the junction OF Bay and Cross streets to
the station of the Staten Island Railroad
Company in the rear. The windows arc
protected by heavy iron bars, which do
not extend entirely to the top. and thus
leave an opening through which medium
sized man could easily make his way.
The police investigation revealed that the
burglars had climbed up the bars and,
dropping down inside, had broken one o.
the windows Releasing the catch. they
raised the window and entered.
In the opinion Of detectives who are at
work on the case the drill hole found in
the door of the safe was made with an
electric drill. 1t would have been impos.
sible, they said, to make an impression
upon the hardened steel doors with a
hand drill
What occurred TO frighten off the thieves
Is not known. They had time to work as
leisurely as desired and 1t was logical to
conclude that the heavy deposits of Sat-
urday would offer good sized haul Ev.
identity the burglars made their exit
through the same avenue which afford ed
them entrance.
