Synopsis
Excerpt from How the Bank Sneak Works: The Personal Experience and Observation of Harry Schindler, Alias the Swindler; Twenty-Two Years of a Bank Sneak's Work Accurately Portrayed
A man whom the author knows better than any one else once essayed to enter a bank vault which was protected in an hitherto unsuspected manner. In front of the door lay an innocent looking rubber mat. The size and position of this mat were such that it was impossible to enter the vault without stepping upon it. Now this mat was so fitted that the pressure of a foot upon it closed an electric circuit and in stantly started the clamor of an alarm bell. Our friend's first introduction to the device was the sound of the bell. And the alarm had not failed of its purpose. Its ringing had scarcely ceased when a bank man confronted the intruder.
