BANDITS SECURE $14,000 Blow Open Vault with Nitroglycerine and Escape with Plunder After Exchanging 8hots with a Citizen. Pepperell, Dec73.

Burglars blew open the safe of the First National bank here Wednesday, took $14. 000, and escaped In an automobile. The thoroughness and skill with which the work was performed has convinced the police that the burglars were professionals. Three were in the party, and although they were seen escaping in the auto, all trace of them was soon lost, and the authorities were unable to ascertain In what di rection they departed. It Is believed, however, that the burglars went in the direction of Groton.

The bank vault was blown open about two o'clock, at which time the last of three explosions was heard by Ernest Tarbell, who was sleeping next door. The two earlier detonations had aroused him, but he was uncertain as to their origin, as the sound was muffled. The third' explosion, however, was less guarded and was followed by a crash and rattle, as the vault door fell away and Interior glass fittings were broken. Starts with Revolver; Barred. Tarbell armed himself with a revolver and started to Investigate, only to find the door of his house barred from the outside.

He succeeded In breaking open his door and immediately started for the bank. Tarbell reached the bank just as the robbers were leav ing In an automobile. After shouting an alarm, Tarbell fired several shots at the burglars. The shots were fired at a distance of about 20 feet, but there is no Indication that any of them took effect. Tarbell, who followed the automobile for some distance along the main street, is certain that the machine took the road to Groton.

Cashier Henry F. Tarbell. who was at once notified of the robbery, came to the bank immediately. He found a quantity of bills and silver scattered about the vault, giving evidence of the hurry with which the burglars secured their booty. The large quantity of gold stored In one of the inner recesses of the safe was untouched save for a single ten dollar coin, which was missing.
