toned by Mr.. Miles has been used

Thugs Tie Watchman,
Work 5Hours on Safe
But Fail 10 Crack Il
Star Staff Photo.

Montgomery County police today
searched for three thugs who bound
a night watchman with rope, robbed
him of about SIG, then worked un-
successfully for five hours to crack
the safe in a Silver Spring bottling
plant.
The 1,400-pound safe in the Office
of Canada Dry Ginger Ale, Inc,
1901 East-West Highway, contained
$500, half in cash.
The Watchman, Richard Oliver
Lowe, Is, was unharmed by the
three who broke into the plant late
Saturday night. =
Says They Weren't Professional.
i r.. K. Quinn, production manager
forkthe bottling company, described
the burglars as mon professionals =
He said they worked with welding
tip instead of a hardy cutting tip
which could have been attached to
the welding equipment from the
plants machine shop.
The thugs burned hole 4 inches
square in the top of the safe.
Police quoted Mr.. Lowe as saying
the three men. all colored, surprised
him in the company Office after he
had made a check of the premises
about 1890 pm. He inquired what
they wanted and one replied that
they were looking for jobs, the
watchman said.
When he told them to return in
Office hours, Mr.. Lowe said, one of
the men overpowered him, binding
his hands and tying him to So
gallon drum. He said he was forced
to tell where the welding equip
ment was kept and he was turned
so he could not watch the thieves
at work.
Wallet Given Back Empty.
Meanwhile, he said, he was re-
lieved of his wallet. The money
was removed but the wallet re-
turned. He reported they threat
ened to blow your brains OUT if
he tried, to call for help.
The burglars knocked off the
dial on top of the safe and then
burned the hole.
When they quit about $3.50 am,
Mr.. Lowe said, they tied his feet
and severed the Office telephone
wires. He managed to -
self and ran two blocks to a fire
station to send word to the police.
Mr.. Quinn said the watchman
