RESOURCEFUL ROBBERS
OWNER HELPS THEM TO GEMS NEW YORK, Oct. 20.' Two resourceful robbers, posing as telegraph messengers, gained access to a Times Square jewellery store and got away with gems valued at £50,000. They held up the watchman; then, as the clerks arrived, the robbers lined them up against a wall beside the watchman. Half an hour later the manager arrived. He confessed he know the combination of the safe, but pleaded that the excitement had driven the figures from Ins mind. Trembling violently, he was, in actual fact, unable to open the safe. The robbers forced him to telephone the proprietor who, from his residence, dictated the safe combination to the robbers. They then opened it themselves.
