Safe Robbery

 "I put that bill in the safe in June or July, 1942," Schultz said "It was just keepsake be- cause I was losing some of the bartenders to the army and 1t seemed that we would never be together again."
 Stanley s. Hughes, clerk at the Cheechako Club, said IacO. petit, after the burglary, pre- sented the patched bill along with three other burned ones and had them changed for $20 bill.
 'I commented that the bills were all burned on the edges and he said That's nothing. I've got a hundred more of themW, Hughes testified.
 J. H. Pierce, chief of police at that time. testified that he had all business houses alerted to watch for burned bills in the be- lief that the safe would have to be opened with an acetylene torch and it was likely that the currency would be burned. He also said he picked up burned bills from the steamship office and was told that Iacopetti had presented them in purchasing a ticket to Seattle.
 Private Robinson said Iaco- petit early in October invited him to make a little easy money"
 q asked him how and he said he knew how," Robinson said. "He said he had seen a lot of money put in the Ships Tavern safe in the Schultz home and he planned to steal the safe. He wanted to use my ear to move the safe but 1 refused to have anything to do with it.
 "On the evening of Oct. 21 Il was at the Cheechako and Iaco- petit told me the thing would happen that night and that I shouldn't say anything about it. He said he was going to take same other fellows and steal the safe. 1 didn't say anything to because 1 value my neck too highly"
 Beatty revealed that Iacopetti had confessed to him that he was in on the safe robbery.
 "He pointed out Eddie, Gus and Frank as the ones who helped him." Beatty said. "He used a cab, to haul the safe away and said that he had kept it in the car a week. He wanted me to rent an old gambling house where he could open it. He plan ned to swipe a torch" /"
 Beatty said he became i'll in Nov and borrowed $2000 from Iacopetti to go the States.
