CUMBERLAND SCHOOL IS ROBBED
Forrest Howell, school executive, is shown here checking
the safe in his office at the Cumberland high school which was
broken in^ and robbed last Friday night.
Mr. Howefl said the thieves punched off the combination
wheel of the safe, shown above, and made Jf with approximate
ly $44.00. It was reported earlier that they got only $10.00 but
the junior class had left $34.00 of their money in the safe Friday.
The robbery was discovered by Coach James Marks. En
trance to the building was gained by breaking out a window.
It is believed the thieves left the building thru the door leading
into the gymnasium, for it was that door Marks first noticed
was not locked when he reported to the gym Saturday morning
to check out some basketball material.
Guernsey county authorities who investigated the robbery
reported that it was impossible to detect any finger prints. It
is thought that those persons responsible for the break-in wore
gloves to avoid any possible clue.
