OFFICE
VAULT Blown
BY YEGGMEN!!
Olympia Robbers
Get Big Sum in
Safe, But Fail to
Take 100000

After breaking their way thru
three doors TO gain entrance TO
the building, bandits early Mon
day blew two doors on the OIyn-
piA postoffice vault, cracked a
huge steel safe inside the vault
and escaped with between SIG, 900
and $4,000 In stamps and ap-
proximately $500 OF the postof-
fees money.
More than 100000 In the
money chambers was not
touched, altho there were Indica-
lions that preparations had been
made 10 blow the chambers.
The robbery was discovered early
Monday morning by Fireman Paul
Barker when ne came to work. He
Immediately notified the postmaster.
Frank S. Glen. and postoffice in.
spectors and secret service men were
on the Job soon sfterward.
An investigation disclosed that
the robbers had first broken their
way thru the heavy iron doors on the
coal chute. which were securely
locked. Then they smashed thru a
heavy oak door TO the main floor OF
the postoffice and thru a similar door
TO the financial room.
Secret service men who were ON
the Job Monday declared the work
to be that OF experts. First the
bandits had drilled the heavy ont
side vault door and had blown off
the combination. Next the lock OF
the inner vault door had been drilled
and opened.
The combination Of the safe.
inside the vault, was also blasted
off.
THE men must have worked swift
iy and accurately" Postmaster Glen
said Monday. The robbery took
place between the hours OF a. m.
and possibly 4 a. M"
Unusually we have a man on duty
until 3 o'clock In the morning. but
on Sunday nights there is not so
much work. and he leaves. generally
about o'clock Monday morning. 1t
Is evident that the men knew the Law
OF the land and probably knew that
the employe quit early Sunday
nights"
Every precaution had been
taken by the bandits, II was
found. Even the telephone wires
from the building had been cut.
Olympia police were Inclined to be-
lieve that the work was that OF one
man. but this theory was discounted
by the investigators who were on the
job later in the day. They doubted
IL one man would attempt such a lob
without at least one lookout.
Monday morning a guest registered
at the Hotel Mitchell declared that
he heard muffled explosion early in
the morning. The hotel is lust
across the street from the postofficc.
Two suspicious strangers were re-
ported to have been lettering around
the postoffice building early Sunday
evening, but police could not confirm
the report.
Cities all along the coast had been
advised Monday at noon Of the rob-
cry and asked to be on the lookout
for any suspicious characters. Post
office officials were making a careful
check to establish the exact amount
Of loot obtained by the robbers.
