Four department manager*, two watchmen and a woman bookkeeper were in the building at the time.
The bandits lined the employees up along a counter and guarded them, while other members of the gang blew open three safes in the basement of the store, securing $5,-000 from one of them.

Meanwhile one member of the bandit gang made the rounds ot call boxes with a watchman.
The watchman, John liuddin, obeyed, but in addition to his regular boxes, pulled a ‘'blind" box which never was to be pulled except under just such circumstances.
