Show POLICE m TEGGMEH fiiic LEAVING HE CITY Tlicy iSecm to Have Been Known, hut No A rresis Were . Made. Voggmen aro leaving the city and the pollco are beginning to breathe freer at their departure. Tho xodus of bod njon began the lirst of Inst week und nearly all tho yeggs aro gone, the police conll-dently conll-dently believe. The yeggs aro on their way to the coast, iho police believe, but Ogden was their objective point whon thoy "left horc, so It Is reasonable to oxpect tho cracking crack-ing of two or thrc safes In the Junction City before they llnally shake the dust of Uio socond town of Utah from their feet. They camo hero from Denver, tho pollco say. Safo blowers, whether yeggs or "aon-tlemon "aon-tlemon burglars." netted a rich haul hero, turning two easy trii-ks In tho cracking and blowing of the Marriott meat market and tho Rowo & Kelly safes, and getting I away with ease, with something like SUOO In cash. Prosperity in some form struck some of tho yeggs who favorod Salt Lako with short visrtH. Prior to the moat market and i-Iolhlng store robberies two or three of tho yeggmcn appeared at tho pollco station, shabbily dressed, and applied for lodging, and one of thm suspected of having taken part In the safo crackings actually slept In the lodgers' apartments nt tho city Jail two or three nights, but there way no substantial ovldonro against him and he was not detained. After the burglaries two or threo of the yoggmen blossomed out In swell suits, shaved nnd otherwise well groomed, having the appearance ap-pearance of gentlemen, but other evidence evi-dence against them could not bo obtained. ob-tained. As nitroglycerin wna used In tho clothing cloth-ing store burglary the police visited tho drug stores In an effort to traco the sales of glycerine and tho other component of tho powerful explosive, nitre, but tho search produced no favorable results, so it Is presumed that tho cracksmen either carried the explosive with them or manufactured it thomnelves. All efforts to apprehend the burglars through the tools they left behind, two slcdgo hammers, have proved Ineffectual so far. although tho search has not been given up. |
