 arriving at work this morning Mr.
 Barrett found the door of the post
 office smashed open, He investigat-
 ed but sound nothing missing. Go-
 ing out into the hall to see how the
 burglars had gained admittance he
 noticed the door of the town clerks
 office WIS partly open. Upon investi-
 Sation tie postmaster found that the
 lock hal been pried off the door and
 the OffEe entered. Mr. Barrett dis
 covercl that the large vault in the
 town derk's office htv1 been broken
 openeC and at once notified Prose- cutting Attorney C. r. Lewis and Constable J. Kanupka. Mir. Lewis
 hurri'd to the scene and upon sizing
 up tle matter ordered that nothing
 be tsuched. He got in touch with the tate police.
 \ member of the state police de- parment arrived shortly after wads and started an investigation. It vas found that the burglars had ganed entrance through a side win iCY of the town clerks office. This wndow was hidden by a stairway l.ading to the second floor and hid tle thieves from the sight by any ne passing by. It could not be .etermined whether the break was made Saturday or Sunday because both offices were closed and were not visited by either Mr. Woodruff or Mr. Barrett.
 -A desk belonging to George F. Carter was pried opened but none of the contents were disturbed The police were at a loss to explain why inc robbers had gone to the trouble ing the contents. There was noth- ing of value in the desk. The large vault in the town clerks office was practically ruined. The combina- lion lock And handles on the main door had been pried loose. After setting through the first door the | burglars attacked the inner door of | the vault. The door was badly smashed and dented but it could not | be determined at the time if the | door hid been opened. Mr. Wood- ! ruff applied a key but the badly i damaIed condition of the door rem dcred the key useless. The police , did rot attempt to push the poor in ! hecalse of the possibility of finding ting.r prints on it. The finger print eXp4rt of the state police was busy on a case in Rockville.
 1e was expected to arrive on the case sometime today and, until then, i. could not be determined if the Nlult had been entered. The vault vas filled with records and deeds but Ess than $50 of cash was in it. The loor was covered with matches which the burglars used after break ing through the first door of the vault, The matches were taken from he post office.
