The car was in charge of one forced open and car of the company’s messengers, named Thorne, whoee duty it was to attend to the opening and fastening of the lock. The safe was taken from the depot at 27th street up to the station at 42d street, and thence placed in the car at the given time the train started, the messenger going through the car and reporting all right. As the train neared Stamford the messenger found that the door had been forced open, and upon farther exam~- ination discovered that one of the safes had been broken into and its contents taken. It is supposed that the thieves, after having gained access to the safes, jumped off the train at “Coos Cut,” about three miles west of Stam- ford. A jimmy, three dark lanterns, and a sledge hammer were found in the car. It is supposed that the padlock was knocked away by a blow from the hammer. The most singu- lar part of the robbery was that the lock was found inside the car, showing that the thieves eo bands at cab poy wong hag plan to rob the safe is supposed to have arranged by parties who were familiar with the work- ings of the company's express cars, and it no doubt took months before they had it com- pleted.—N. ¥.
