BELIEVE FIVE MEN
TOOK RUTLAND BOOZE
Amateurs Thought to Have Hand in
Raid on Marble City
Cache

Rutland, April 25.-The burglarizing
OF the Rutland county court house and
the theft Of about 70 quarts OF liquor
out OF a stock OF upwards Of 900 bot
ties, sometime early last Thursday
morning, was not the work of profes-
s'onal bootleggers, the officials are sat
isfed There are sufficient tell-tale
evidences OF amateurism left behind
that convince States Attorney Charles
h. Noyak and Sheriff Henry r. Adams
that they are on the right track in
their investigation Of certain phases
OF the break into the county's depos-
itory OF seized liquor.
The liquor stolen was that seized
recently from the Dominion Drug com
pany at its stockroom in the Cold Stor-
age plant on Cleveland avenue.
The officials have obtained clews
showing that more than one person
was concerned in the burglary In
fact the states attorney and sheriff
are convinced that FIVE men engineer
ed the break-that one secured en-
trance into the building and then ad-
mitted the others.
One of the FIVE men. one of whom
may be a suspect that the officers
have been watching since the break
was discovered, tore away the heavy
screening at the mouth Of the cold
air duct leading from a window at the
west side Of the basement Of the build
ing. nearly opposite the center Of the
east wall of the Baptist church. and
made a mole-like journey OF at least
35 feet through a dust checked wooden
tube into the furnace room and crawl.
ed out Of the duct through an aper-
ture allowed for cleaning the tube Of
dust
1t required nerve for a man to drop
six feet into a darkened tube, not
knowing what distance he might fall
and though. as II Is believed was the
case, four companions stood guard TO
give the signal OF danger in case OF
discovery.
The man who made the trip through
the airduct knew the lay OF the land
in the basement of the court house
and he climbed the flight OF stairs
leading to the corridor on the first
floor where he found the switch that
controller the electric lights in the
basement. The current was turned on
and left on even after the burglars
departed-and the other four men
were admitted by the man "on the In
side" who had only to remove heavy
bar that fastened the door leading
/ from the basement onto the lawn be-
tween the court house and church.
