One of the safes con- tained several hundred dollars worth of jewelry, but a check-up this mofning revealed that the contents had not been removed Combination Battered. The combination on the safe was battered and scars on the tops of the hinge-pins showed an attempt had been made to drive them out. Another safe in the shop, containing only old books, was similarly battered, and a | scarred spot on the front of the door indicated that an unsuccessful attempt had been made to driil into it The men, who were apparently frig ened away from the shop, left a larg 10-pound sledge hammer and a tire iron, leading police and Mr. Duehring to lieve tne work was that of amateurs and probably not the same men Who Thursday night expertly blew the safe at Loose Wiles Biscuit Co., 513 Rhode Island avenue northeast Entrance to the second floor shop was gained through a rear window, reached | from the roof of a single-story adjoining structure.
