Except for the lack of signatures, the bills were completé in every respect.

The vault is' located at the .rear of the building near a doorway which leads into a laneway. It was through this door that entry was gained by cutting a square hole. Garage Also Entered Subsequent investigation showed that the acetylene welding outfit used to cut the combination from the vault was stolen during the night from Pengelly's Garage which is also on the main street about a hundred yards north of the bank. Tracks in the snow showed the two tanks wheeled on their car- riage from the garage to the bank. Clarence Pengelly. told The Times-Gagette that entry was gain- ed to the garage through a rear door. A large tarpaulin, was stolen from the truck parked at the rear of the garage, The tarpaulin was cut in two and was used in front of the vault to keep the glare from the cutting operation reaching , the street. Poor Cutting Job Mr. Pengelly, who is an expert welder, said that the thieves must have been inexperienced in the operation of the welding outfit as they did a very poor job of trying to cut open the vault. The attempted robbery is the sixth ih recent months in this sec- tion of Ontario County.
