safe containing over $5,000 in cash
was too much for them.
After breaking them way through
a two-foot brick wall into the vault
where a three-ton safe holds the
bank’s cash on hand, the robbers at
tacked the front of the safe with ni
tro-glycerine. Bo heavy was the

tumbling over on its face, thus ef
fectively blocking further’ efforts to
get it open. Even the strong-arm
robbers could not lift it up to take
another crack at the door.
'The explosion while frustrating
the major robbery led the way to
lesser loot as it dislodged the safety
deposit boxes and from one of these
