The paddock on the gate of the yard was found smashed. The glass iR window had been re- moved and entrance gained. A wrench and two pieces of iron were found on the floor near the safe. The arrival of a truck driven by Louis Tedesco. an employe, frus- trated the attempt.
 Telesco arrived at the yard of the plant about o'clock considerably behind schedule owing to late or ders. He noticed that the pad lock had been smashed and sus- pecting something. was wrong hur- ried to a neighboring home and summoned the police. While wait ing for the cops Telesco saw one man leave the place and disappear in the woods.

per day at the Rangers training
table, and his room at the Windsor
