__

some time during the night and an
undetermined amount of rash was
taken from the vault. It was learned

an acetylene torch.

ing.
According to Postal Inspector
Coble, who talked with Postmaster

ing, the latter tojd him that he didn’t
know whether the cash box had been
looted. *
The yeggmen, WTrkman stated,
cut a large hole in the vault with
an acetylene torch stolen from a
local garage to permit one of their
member* to enter. The cash blx
within the vault. Is a compartment
opened only by a key and lever and
lhe only possible way to open it was
for the yeggs to dynamite It. No
explosions was beard.
The door of the cash box la so
battered that It Is Impossible for
Wickman to determine whether It
v.-as entered. So far. a check made
shows that between $1,200 and $1,500
worth of stamps was stolen.
The yeggs left the torch, gloves
and a punch, the latter evidently used
to pry the cash box.
The Norfolk postoffice Is a three
story building.
