IDENTIFY while the Easter crowds were
in the stores.
Withthese screws removed in ad-
vance, it was explained by the police,
the robbers merely had to punch in
the lock and open the door.
Two envelopes filed with $5 and
SO gold pieces, q check for $500,
scores of valuable, but non negotia-
BILE papers, and $40 in change, con-
tanned in an envelope, were over
looked by the safe crackers.
The robbery at the F street store
was discovered this morning by Ed
ward Berry after he reported for
work. Mr.. Berry opened the west
front door and went around to open
the east front door, when he found
the yawning space where the lock
should be. J. Harper Hetherington,
manager of the Connecticut avenue
store, discovered the attempt to break
the safe at that establishment.
Fred Sandberg, fingerprint expert,
arrived early on the scene at the +
street store, but after an examina-
ton reported the robbers unquestion-
ably had worn gloves. He was un.
able to get any pictures.
No Theft Insurance.
William f. GUIDE, proprietor of the
Guide firm, was notified of the rob
berries and went to the f street store.
He said that he carried no theft in.
surance. He said that usually there
is q night watchman on duty in the
store, but the watchman was sick last
night.
Mr.. Guide was informed there had
been $4,000 in the safe yesterday aft
ernoon, but that $4,000 of this amount
had been banked. His bookkeeper
told hi mthat a good part of the sum
taken was in checks, which it is
thought certain never will be realized
upon by the robbers.
Headquarters Detectives Curtis
Trammell and Jim Springmann have
been assigned to investigate the GUIDE
safe jobs.
Two lumber dealers also were visit
ed by robbers with designs on safes
the police report. They are galliher
& Huguely, Sherman avenue and w
street, and J. Frank Kelly, 211O
Georgia avenue.
Gaining entrance through a window
the burglars tampered with the safe
of Galliher & Huguely, but were un-
able to open it. They took car token
and 20 cents from the cash register.
An attempt to break open the safe
of the Kelly Lumber Co. also was I'M
successful, and nothing was reported
missing, although two cash drawers
were tan1pered with.
