LAKE COUNTY, ILLINOIS, THURSDAY, ADGUST 30, 1928 BANK BUILDING OFFICES RIFLED BY 'LONELY ONF' Glass Broken, Desks Upset _ and Papers Piled Up in Waukegan Nat'l Bidg. Entering from the roof of an ad-- joining building, the Lonely One sometime early this morning ran-- sacked twelve offtices in the Wauke-- gan National Bank building and es-- caped with loot slightly in excess of $50. No attempt was made to en-- ter the bank proper. NO ATTEMPT ON THE BANK . The petty thief had things his own way from midnight to early this morning as the police have no ac-- cess to the building at night and the watchman's duties keep him in the basement of the building after that hour. Apparently the Lonely One walked up the rickety wooden stairs at the rear of the clothing store next door, climbed over roof to top of bank pro-- per--. broke a hole near the latch window of a vacant office on third floor of the building and en rifled, and their contents strewn over the rooms. The large frosted glass in the doors of each of the of-- fices entered was broken near the latch, the door unlocked from the in-- side and the Loneély One was able to step in. * Alex Hein of the Hein Watry Fi nance company reported the largest theft as be had left $58 in an un-- locked desk drawer, money that he had taken in ay payments during the late afternoon. Others reported small amounts while still others re-- ported that the thief had overiook-- ed small sums of money easily ac-- cesable to him. The total loot was fixed at $66.12. ed the rooms. His activities from then on were confined from the fifth floor down to the second floor where twelve offices were entered. drawers and desks broken open and 'The robbery was discovered at 6:55 this morning when the day en-- gineer at the bank building went on the job and discovered the broken and Lieutenant Earl Hicks, Officers William Blaylock and True Whittier responded and made an investiga-- tion.

' A pool of blood and drops of blood leading from the third floor landing and down the stairway to the sec-- ond floor lnd@utrh that the Lonely One cut himself when he broke the door intor the Household Finance company office, Police are looking for three of their suspects to see it they have new cuts on their hands. Fred W, Buck, who has charge of the building and H. C. Burnett, pru-' ident of the Waukegan National bank, made an investigation this morning and declared that the big-- 'gest loss was in broken glass and. the cost of painting the names of the occupants on the office doors. He declared that the police could: not in any way be blamed for the robbery because the front doors of the bank are locked at night and as the engineer and cleaning women are working up to midnight, it would not be 'strange to see lights in vari-- ous parts of the building. The fact that the 'night engineer makes his last round at: midnight, collecting the waste paper and taking it to the basement for baling, leaves the up-- per floors unguarded in the eariy morning hours. 'The sound of break-- Ing glass in the doors would proba-- LLE INDEPENDENT . Orvis:> Glass broken, He called the police bly not carry to the lower floors of the building. Mr. Burnett declared that the building was fully covered 'by in-- surance and as a large stock of glass is kept at the bank for emergency use, the bank workmen were around before ning o'clock this morning re-- placing the shattered panes in the doors. It has not been fully de-- rided whether the owners of the building will offer a reward, call in private detectives or leave the mat-- ter up to the police. © "We know that the police are do-- ing everything in their pwoer and that the offer of a reward would not change the situation at all," said Mr. Burnett. "The officer who cap tures him, dead or alive, will be well taken care of." _ The visit of the Lonely One caus-- ed inconvenience more than any-- thing else. Occupants of the offices had big jobs abead of them straight-- ening out the mess the petty thief made in his insanely small hauls under such great risk. Bank Well Protected. But for the old buildings in the block, the bank building is especial-- ly well protected. Every modern device for safety has been installed, but with the old wooden stairway leading to the second floor of the old building next «door, and the easy access to the third floor of the same building, the rear windowssof the third floor in the bank building at present offer an easy access to the building. Bars and alarms are to be installed on the windows 'of the third floor to prevent any further burglarizing: Some time ago a "pallette burg--} lar" had made visits to the office byl slipping a pallette into the door, catch and forcing it back. This no, longer is possible because of the mi locking devices on the doors and the , glass to gain an entrance. Occupants of the majority of the offices, which: were not. entered, were unable to understand the Lone-- ly One's apparent partiality, Dr. M. Aronstam jokingly declared he felt slighted, but explained that possibly the eyes 'painted on his door fright: ened the Lonely One away.
