NO TRACE YET
OF THIEVES Who
RIFLED 4 PLACES
Three in Oakland and One in
Grantsville Observation-Disclosures
and Merchandise Stolen

Some good sets of fngerprints
which might lead to Identification,
were the only encouraging signs au-
thorities could offer as they continued
their investigation into the series of
robberies and safe crackings over
the weekend, in which combined loot
and damage amounted to more than
81 900.
Three of the burglaries were at
Oakland and one of the state police
who investigated said it was their
belief that all were pulled by the
same thieves.
Places entered were the Piedmont
Grocery company, Acorn Associates
and Southern States Oakland Ser
vice store, all on Liberty street in
Oakland; and the Casselman Motor
company at Grantsville
C. O. Bender discovered the theft
OF about $500 in cash from the Cas-
selman garage about o'clock Mon
day morning. Those at Oakland were
reported about 7 "a. M, on Monday, to
Sheriff J. S. Teats, and they pre-
sumably occurred late Sunday night
or early Monday morning.
Approximately $500 in cash and
eight cases of cigarets were taken
from the Piedmont Grocery, accord
ing to Joseph Harmon, manager. He
said the intrudcrs first attempted to
gain entrance by prying a rear door
but failed. They then pried a heavy
steel screen from a rear window and
forced the window open. The safe
was broken open and damaged to the
extent of 500, he said
At the Acorn Associates store
Lowell Loomis, manager, said the
thieves used a crowbar to pry open
an unloading door in rear of the
building. There was no safe but two
unlocked filing cabinets were looted
and several dollars in change taken.
They did not disturb checks which
had been made ready for deposit in
the bank the following day.
Paul F. Nazelrod, manager of the
Southern States, said nothing was
taken from the store when the thieves
were unable to batter open a safe,
but it was estimated the safe was
damaged to the extent of about $500.
A crowbar was also used here to
break open a rear door.
All three Oakland business houses
have back doors that open on to the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and Cpl.
Holsinger said Investigators surmised
that the thieves took advantage of
the noise of passing trains to force
their way into the buildings and bat
ter the safes. 1t was estimated they
were in the three establishments for
about four hours.
Three Garrett county men were
picked up Gin and around Oakland
on Monday for questioning but were
released in the afternoon.
Assisting in the investigation are
State Troopers Glen d. Folk, Blair
j. Bucket and Milton G. Hart, and
Deputy Sheriff Paul Fisher.
