MOSCOW BUI IS LOOTED AlmostHalf Million Carried Away by Twenty Masked Men. OFFICERS ON DUTY OUTSIDE Chief of Robbers. With Key to Vault's Combination, Swings Back Heavy Doors. The Credit Mutual, one or the larg est banks In Moscow, was myster iously robbed by masked men at dusk, the robbers securing $1X2.500. It was an extremely daring job. The facts already developed raise tho question that the robbery was com mitted by ir under the direction or someone at present or previously em ployed in the institution. The bank Is situated in Jllnka street, in the heart of tho city. Tho last of the clerks had just departed, leaving an inside guard of three men, while outside were a policeman and the house porter. The street was crowded with people hurrying home ward. According to the story of the guards, in the twinkling of nn eye they were confronted with revolvers in the hands of 20 masked men, who had entered silently by the main door, which had been locked when the oflice force left. Tin; guards were quickly bound ami gagged and thrown into a dark corner. The chief of the robbers, who directed tho operations of his associates, went to the burglar-proof safe, and, with a few whirls ot the knob, threw the combination of the lock, the heavy doors swung open and the treasure of the bank was re vealed. The plunder, consisting of gold, silver nnd notes, was speedily, thrust into sacks. When a clean haul or the money hail been made, not a kopeck being left, the robbers departed as silently aa they came, making their exit through the main entrance and leaving no trace behind them. Twenty minutes alter the robberv w ,,, , , ,"' """ -ui-cecueu in iree- "HHBim ami gave ine alarm. J he ituniloniiiled policemen and house porter who had been standing in front of the bank throughout claimed they bad seen no one enter or leave it. It is the general impression that the key to the mystery is within the bank itself. JUSTICE DEUEL RESIGNS Sends Resignation as Member of the Bar Association. Jndgo Joseph M.
