Asheville, N.C.—Blowing open the door of the Texas Oil company office on Avery street, thieves blasted off the safe door with nitroglycerine and escaped with $500 in cash. It is believed the same explosive was used in destroying the lock on the door. Checks and notes aggregating almost $500 were left behind.
From page 3 of the Roanoke Beacon, Plymouth, N.C., Friday, Feb. 29, 1924. Yeggmen were safe crackers who used explosives.
