Safe-Crackers Fail
In Attempt On
McIlwain Car Go.

Burglars broke into the build
ing of the McIlWain Motor Com
pany Sunday night and attempt
ed to force a safe but apparent
ly were scared off before the job
was completed. Later that night
an 800-lb safe was stolen in Pril-
chard, Ala, ana Tuesday night
the L. and N. safe in Biloxi was
burglarized, leading Chief j. r.
Shirley to express the opinion
that a team of expert safe-erack-
ers was conducting tour through
this area.
The attempt to crack the au-
tomobile company safe was dis
covered by the owner, r. B. Me-
Twain, who entered his place of
business on Highway 80 and Mar
ket street about $50 p. m. Sun
day. He found the side door had
been forced, apparently by the
use of a crowbar, and that the
heavy safe, had been turned on
its side and the dial smashed off.
Chief Shirley said it was pos
sible that the burglars were at
work at the time Mr.. McIlWain
drove up to the store, or may
have been frightened off earlier
for some other reason. 1t was
possible, he said, that the safe
proved too tough for their abili-
ty and that they had given it
up as a bad job and gone away.
Mr.. McIlwain notified city po-
lice instantly and Officer N. W.
Goff went to the scene and made
an investigation, searching the
store to make sure that the men
were not still hiding.
Later a Sheriff's assistant In
Mobile, j. c. Holcomb, was call
ed to take fingerprints and he
was able to lift a number of them
from the safe and other objects.
They were being analyzed this
week in Mobile.
The safe which was carried
off in Pritchard later that night
contained $3l00 Chief Shirley
said that a team of safe-robbers
was apparently making a drag"
through this part of the coast,
and that they were probably fol-
lowing route after having spot
ted various businesses establish
ments in this area in the past
weeks.
