Safecracker Gets About $200 From Bowling Alley Fingerprint experts were summoned early Friday to aid investigation of a safecracking job i Circleville Moose bowling alleys.

Police Chief William F. McCrady said S. F. Van Allen, state highway patrol fingerprint expert, has been called in to help solve the case. An estimated $200 in change was taken from a safe in the bowling alleys sometime Thursday night.

Chief Mf'Crady said the safecracker entered the bowling alleys through a basement window, carefully rcp.acing the window after gaining entrance. After reaching the inside, the burglar carried the safe away from a wall and knocked off the combination dial. Successfully punching the safe open, the safecracker wrenched door off and apparently probed into the fireproof inner composition, since it was littered over the floor. McCrady said the job apparently linked with recent safecracking in i produce mse, where the burglar had removed dollars with a deft, professional touch. In addition to cracking the fe in the bowling alleys, the burglar also pushed a cash register from its regular position.

The burglary was discovered at about noon Friday when ployes reported to work in the alleys.
