TO PREVENT BURGLARIES.
TEAR GAS EMPLOYED. WEEPING BANDITS. (Electric Telegraph.—Copyright). (Received This Day, 9.20 a.m.) NEW YORK, April 13. Tears are the underlying method of a new device “to prevent bank burglaries in Chicago. Many banks throughout the country have installed a system whereby tear gas is released whenever a vault is tampered with. Bandit gangs drilled safes recently and found all they could do was to cry, cry, cry. The only remedy was to rush into the open air.
The Orange State Bank in a Chicago suburb was attacked and dense fumes quickly permeated the building so that the weeping bandits were forced to leap into a waiting automobile, leaving their tools and the cash behind them. —(“Sun”).
