worthless except for office memoir
anda, and leaving behind them on
the floor a block of $4,000 worth of
gilt edged negotiable securities,
burglars who blew the big safe in
the office of the Fuller Holway Com :
pany, sometime Friday night or early
Saturday morning were Ill paid for
their efforts. The safe was prac-
tically demolished with the use Of
nitro glycerine and fuse, and the
contents scattered about the Offices
and storehouse.
Four young men were taken into
custody by the Augusta police Sat-
urday m@ning and questioned in
connection with the break, but they
accounted for their whereabouts dur
ing the night hours Of Friday and
Saturday to the satisfaction of the
investiga ting officers. The four men
were wanted In York county, how
ever. On charges of obtaining money
under false pretenses and were turn
ed over &c two deputy sheriffs from
that county Sunday.
The break was discovered about 6
o'clock Saturday morning, when the
man who sweeps and cleans the Of
flee entered for that purpose. City
Marshal Skehan was at once notified
and started an investigation of the
burglary. Thomas Ingraham of the
Fuller-Holway Company said that
there was only about 50 in cash in
the safe. which the burglars took.
There were also missing several
stock certificates of unknown and
questionable value as we'll as the
bundle of stock Of the Fuller Hol-
way Company which had been can

1t was found that entrance had
been gained to the building by Jim

of the building next to the railroad
tracks. This window gave entrance
to one of the series. of three offices
extending from the front of the
building to the rear. 1t was only
necessary for the burglars to pass
through the intervening Office to the
office at the front, where was located
the safe.
The charge Of soup" or nitro
glycerine had been placed in the
joint above the door of the safe and
wadded with a bit OF newspaper.
Flour and sugar sacks had been
dragged in from the storeroom and
placed to deaden the noise of the eX-
plosion. The charge though 1t badly
wrecked the big safe, failed to entire
ly loosen the door, and it was neces-
sary for the cracksmen to use crow
bars to pry the door free of the bar
lock which held 1t at the top. The
