TWO PARDONS GRANTED
Bronson Guilbert and Walter Taylor
are to Leave WorkhOuse

The Board of Pardons Thursday
granted absolute pardons to two ap-
plicants, Bronson Guilbert and Walter
Taylor. They were both serving two
years in the WOrkhouse for larceny,
Taylor having but three months yet to
serve. The case of Guilbert was pre-
sented by Rev. Robert Watt. The
board thought if an application for
parole had been made at the trial, ow-
ing to circumstances surrounding the
case, the court would likely have
granted parole or probation.

tors permanent and that the danger
of a block Of 100000 shares of Gem

New Jersey Flour Company, near the
vx;s Railroad tracks in Clifton early
th;s morning, blew open the safe with a
b,asting outfit, and pillaged the place

non-negotiable. In currency, they may

kent in the safe"
Batter Down Auto Gate
Mr.. 0rbe was the first to discover the
burglary. The intruders had bat
.sred down great ironbound gates at
tbe entrance TO the warehouse through
which motor trucks pass, proceeded
through the warehouse to the offices,
the stout door of which they had shat
sered with axes. Two holes had been
drilled in the door of the big safe.
when en- explosive had ben introduced
through the holes, decorating caps
connected by wires with an electric ex-
ploder were inserted,
The exploder, its handle showed down
as the burglars had left it when the
charge was detonated, was found in
the hall, Just outside the Office door
The safe doors had been blown off by
the explosion. The contents, papers,
ledgers and all, except the securities,
we're scattered about the floor. So
we're the contents of the various desks,
every drawer of which had been pulled
aut and dumped on the floor.
Eight or ten steel safe deposit boxes
which had been in the safe were miss
lug. Some of them were found this
evening in field about quarter of q
mile from the warehouse, where they
had been ripped open. Some of the
securities taken belonged to the -four
company, some to Mr.. Orbe and some
to other officers and employees, all of
whom regarded the massive safe as 8
secure place of deposit.
Watchman Heard Blast at
James s. Sutter, watchman for the
Walser Silk Manufacturing Co., whose
factory is about three blocks from the
-four warehouse, fixed the time of the
burglary as about a. m. At that hour,
he said, he heard an explosion, which
he thought at first must be a delayed
blast in the quarries near here.
As the improbability of this explains
ton dawned upon him, he said. he de-
cided to notify the police. For two
hours, he. SAID, he tried one after an
other of the telephones in the factory,
endeavoring to inform the police Of the
explosion. He could not even get Gem
tral, he said, and gave it up about 6
o'clock. AS he was the only person at
the silk factory and responsible for the
safety of everything in it, he did not
feel at liberty to investigate the ex-
plosion himself.
