“Burglars Attempt to Crack Safe Here,” from the July 23, 1920 issue of
the Elizabeth City Independent.
Safeblowers who are believed to be members of a gang who
have recently entered a number of country stores and post offices in
Northeastern North Carolina and Tidewater Virginia, entered the office of the
Farmers Ginning and Produce Co. at the end of Main street last Sunday night,
drilled one hole thru the door of the safe, and started two others, when,
evidently frightened away, they left the job unfinished. The local police found
no clue as to their identity when they visited the scene of the attempted
robbery the next morning.
