Stonington Mirror, April 24, 1907: "The Stonington

Stonington Mirror, April 24, 1907: "The Stonington post office was entered by burglars last night and a quantity of stamps and cash taken. The burglars entered the office from the tenement in the rear, which has been vacant for some time, evidently by picking the lock or by key. The safe was blown open and the explosion was heard by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ide who reside opposite, besides others shortly before four o'clock this morning. A new bit stock and several drills and chisels were found near the safe. Several hundred one and two cent stamps, about $100 in stamps of higher denominations were taken and the contents of the cash drawers, over $500. Money orders and registered letters in the safe were left in the haste of the burglars. The work was evidently that of professionals."
