Two safes, one on the second floor and one on the third floor, were blown open with charges of nitro--glycerin and. their. contents emptied on the floor, while the drawers of all the desks in the of-- fice and several metal lockers were pried open and searched. oL P on fandic flns Aos ie . oi S anannnn e Untold quantitiee of valuable ghemicals, explosives, narcotics, al-- cohol and chemical instruments were ignored by . the thieves who seemed to be after something in particular, which they evidently found before their departure.

Dilger, who succeeded Bairstow in this office preferred the charge, claiming that his predecessor is holding back $54,-- 695.89 of money belonging to the township of Waukegan. Dilger said at the time he made the com-- plaint against Bairstow that he was compelled to start criminal action because of failure of the former su-- pervisor to make a settlement with him. He says that when he took office an audit of the books was made and showed Bairstow -- owed the county $59,695.89, this sum later being reduced by a $5,000 payment Claims $48,000 Due Attorney Bairstow contends that Michael H.
