4. It was revealed tonight by Sheriff Roy H. Leonard that burglars who cracked the safe in the post-office at Castleton before daylight today made off with post-age stamps valued at about $800 and between $50 and $60 in cash. The stamps included manv commemorative issues which are of value to collectors. Entrance to the building was gained.

Leonard said, by prying open a window. Although the safe was of simple construction and could easily have been opened by experts the burglars took the trouble to bore into it and explode a charge of dynamite, leading the investigators to believe that the theft was the work of amateurs. Similar methods were used in recent postoffice burglaries in Dorset and Londonderry. Persons working in a restaurant near the postoffice at Castleton heard a dull explosion at 3 a. m.
