Plunder at Sullivan Safe Blown Into Office
The Standard Oil plant in Sullivan Indiana was struck again last night. A large charge of nitroglycerin is suspected after the safe was demolished, money and checks totaling about $60 were taken, and the building’s side and windows were severely damaged. Jesse Burnett, the plant manager, said most of the loss was in checks. The new safe, installed a week ago, was shattered and debris spread fifty feet. Deputies and the plant manager believe nitro glycerin caused the blast, not dynamite.
