Cincinnati, O., Feb. :4 tUP)-A gang of bandits using acetylene torches cut their way through con- crete walls and into the vault of tho Frank Herschede jewelry store over the weekend and escaped with jew clry valued at s100,000, it was learned today.
 The robbers apparently short cir cuited the burglar alarm before try ing 10 penetrate the vault. To do this they strung electric wires con- nected with batteries and completed a circuit so that when they pierced the vault the alarm circuit would not be broken.
 After drilling their way through the cement walls, the vegas passed through maze of burglar alarm wires but contacts, if any, failed to sound an alarm. Then they at lacked the vault, cutting an open- ing large enough to admit the body of an avera ged sized man.
 The loot consisted of set and un- set gems and other articles, the value of which will run we'll over s100,000, store officials said.
