ROBBERS OVER Al. DENTON
POSTOFFICE STEAL .-S12OO
WRECK DENTON, MD, POSTOF-
FICE SAFE AND TAKE STAMPS
POstOffice Inspectors Running Down
Several Clues-Residents of East
tern. Shore Excited.

Thieves stole approximately $1,000
in stamps and money from the postof-
flee at Denton, Sunday at midnight.
The heavy doors of the safe were
blown open and the vault wrecked
Postoffice inspectors at Washington
have been notified of the robbery. The
robbers left numerous clues, it is said.
THE BURGLARY was discovered by Doc
Smith, janitor of the Law Building, in
which the postoffice is located, when
he went to work Monday. A.. E..
Cooper, the postmaster, being i'll,
Smith called the deputy postmaster,
George Beck, who found that an iron
bar at the rear window had been out
of place to make an entry. 1t was at
first thought that the robbers had re-
ceived little for their work, as only
S27 was in the safe when it was closed
Saturday evening. 1t was later found
howeevr, that the supply of stamps,
totaling $1,153, mostly in small de-
nominations, had been stolen.
Appearances of the room indicated
that the thieves had left hurriedfy.
Two blankets, with which they had
muffled the sound of the explosion,
had been left, also a small dry cell
battery used as detonator.
The-clues and the fact that a num-
Der of strangers in town recently un-
duly interested in the postoffice lead
some of the local authorities to be-
lieve that Federal agents will find it
readily possible to- find the perpetra-
tors. The general belief is that the
""job'' was performed by professionals.
Some residents claim that they heard
a muffled report about 2, o'clock Mon
day morning, but gave no thought to
the matter until the robbery was dis
covered. 1t is said that of recent years
no light has been left in the postofice
rooms at night, although this was
done at one time. Street lights in the
town are exinguished at midnight.
This is the first time the Office has
ever been robbed, it is explained, nor
have there been any bank robberies
there.
