THE PERFECT BURGLARY.
NO CLUES IN £4OO RAID. Burglars who stole £4OO in notes from a restaurant' safe at a London railway station planned their raid so carefully that not a single clue was left to aid the dotectives investigating tho affair. Tho safe, which contained the takings of the station restaurants, is kept in a room in the administrative block of the station buildings adjoining the main restaurant on i\'o. 1 platform, and is opposite tho headquarters of tho railway police. After tho money had been taken from the safo the empty safe was locked by the thieves, and the theft was not discovered until tho cashier opened tho safo in tho morning.
The door of the room in which tho safo was kept had also been locked after the burglary. There were no marks on the safe which might have been caused by any safe-forcing implement, and it is believed that the room and the sale were opened with skeleton keys.
