The robbers apparently entered the store, which is at 14th and Washington 'Streets, by climbing to the roof of an adjoining building and then through- a second-floor window, according to Police Inspectors E. F. Murphy ancj William Marshall. They carried with them a set of dry-cell batteries.

From one of store departments they stole a length of copper wire, Ase.t -up the batteries In the crockery department, and then ran the wire to the office, some distance away. Then they knocked off the combination of- the safe with a sledge and into the. hole poured- a heavy charge of nitro glycerine, damming it' in with soap. BLAST MUFFLED The police believe they' then waited till a lookout informed them that a street car was about to cross the intersection of 14th and' Washington Streets, and; took advantage of the resulting noisej to turn the switch which detonated the powerful explosive. sound of the ex plosion was heard by police, although there were a score or more of them in Central Station, less than 150 feet away on the first two floors ofjhe City Hall.

The rbbery was not discovered until C. H. Lancaster, manager of the sporting goods department, arrived at the store this morning, and noticed' the wire running along the floor. He followed it into the office, and then called police. John P.

This was difficult, he said, because the safe had contained the entire receipts of from noon until closing time at 8 o'clock, and these hac. been uncounted except by the separate departments. CHECKS, CHANGE LEFT The robbers had left behind all the checks, and also the small change, much of which they had left scattered on the floor. Inspectors Murphy and Marshall said the men had worked in expert fashion.
