is believed the burglars entered the
Thirteenth Street side and jimmied
door of the clothing firm. About
100000 in stock was in this loft, but
this was not disturbed by the burglars
until they started the fire, either ac-

a large safe also in this loft, but the
burglars did not stop there. This safe
was blown about six months ago and
$4,000 in cash and berty bonds were
stolen.
Rather than attempt to rob this safe

eighteen-inch wall, making a hole
about two feet square. Then they cut
through another wall and got into the

wall was about a foot thick.
