Two Safes Are Looted
Over the Week End

Safe-crackers did double duty over
the week end, pilfering money chests

ropohtan police officials revealed to-
day.
The robberies occurred at Tate's
drug store, 1107 G street NV, and
the Charles G. Stott Paper Co., 804
Rhode Island avenue NE. Store
clerks reported the thefts after open
ing for business this morning.
More than 500 was obtained from
the Stott safe, but no estimate of
the loot of Tate's store was avail
able at late hour this morning, due
to the necessity of checking daily
receipts which Peter Stillman, man.
ager. said would require several
hours
Lieut.. John Fowler, in charge of
the robbery and safe squad, which
is investigating both cases, said that
no clues had been found at either
scene. He described the drug store
robbery as a punch job" where the
dial had been knocked off and a
punch used to open the door. The
theft was discovered by Raymond
Shenberger, clerk, at TAO am. to-
day.
Mrs. Clayta Raney, 20, 518 Pow
hatan place NV. clerk, discovered
the robbery at the Stott com pany
She advanced the theory that some
one had entered the building by use
of a duplicate key and took the
money from the unlocked safe, some
time since Saturday night. The
building was closed over the week
end.
