Burglars Rifled Cash Register

They Entered Heusel Bros.' Bakery Early Thursday

ADEPTS IN THEIR LINE

They Unlocked the Register Took Six Dollars and Then Made Their Escape

A daring burglary occurred sometime early Thursday at the confectionery store of Heusel Brothers, at Fifth avenue and Washington street.

The store was entered through the transom of a door at the rear of the building. The cash register was removed to the small yard adjoining the store and its contents taken, which amounted to the sum of $6.

A peculiar feature of the robbery, and one which shows that the thieves are adepts in their line, is the fact that they did not break open the register, but unlocked it in the regular way, with the key which is attached to its side.

After taking the money from the register the thieves locked it and left it in the yard.

That the robbery must have been effected after  12:30 o'clock last night seems to be proven by the statement of Miss Amanda F. Krumm. a stenographer with Mack & Co., and who has apartments over the confectionery store.

Miss Krumm. who was visiting friends last evening, did not return home until about half past twelve o'clock. When she entered the house through the side entrance she says that everything about the place was in its usual quiet condition. There was no stir about the yard and she is positive that the cash register was not there when she reached the house. If it had been she would have seen it, she believes, as the yard is of small proportions, all parts of it being readily seen from the point at which Miss Krumm entered the building.

Outside of the cash register, nothing else in the store was disturbed. There was no tracks or marks on the floor that would give any clue to who the perpetrators of the crime are.

Sheriff Gillen was immediately notified by Mr. Heusel this morning, of the robbery after he discovered the register in the yard and its contents gone.
