The Tasmanian Bank Robbery.

SENSATIONAL DETAILS

The robbery of the Bank of Aus tralasia at Queenstown, Tasmania, re corded in our cable message Thursday, occurred on the night of January 24th. The Qoeenatown correspondent of the Hobart Mercury sends the following aeootmt of ife to hia paper:—

Qukenstowk, Friday (midnight)

A great sensation was caused in town this evening when ib became known thaV-the Bank of Australasia iiad been robbed of a considerable sum of money, the tellsr being gagged and bound. The baujte is situated in Orr itreet, which is the-main street of the town, and the daring nature of the burglary is shown by the fact that an entry was effected soon after 10 o'clock by the front door Mr N B Brownrigg, the teller, had been workiug all the evening, and some time between 10 o'clock and twenty minutes past ten, he heard a tap at the door of the bank. On go- Ing to the door he waa confronted by two meo, one of whom clapped a re volver to hia head, saying 'Not a word.'

He was speedily gagged, bound, and thrown on the floor behind the counter

The bank wan then ransacked quickly, about £5000 being taken, and 1 the thieves got safely away Mr Brownrigg then worked himself on his heel and hands to the door communicating with the private apartments of the bank manager, the Attention of whose wife he succeeded in attracting. This was at 10.30 pm, showing how rapidly the whole affair hid occurred

The bank manager, Mr O De Vere Hodge, bad returned from Zeehan earlier ia the evening with two boxes of diver, and it is surmised that the burglar* knew of this, and broke into the bank, with the in&ention of obtain* Ing this bad They did better, however, leaving feht filver, and taking come £5000 in gold and Loies. Mr Hodge was absent from the bank •I the time ef the occurrence.

Mr Brownrigg sustained a severe gheck, but is otherwise unhurt;

When Mr Broworigg was called fo the door his revolver wss lying below the ledge of tbe counter at which he wae working. It was loaded in all six chambers. This weapon has disap peared, and no doubt il has been taken by the burglars,

There his been tntftih talk eg to the possibility of anyone in the etroet look ing into the banksogjjroom by lifting himself go as to bring tais eyes en a level with the top of the woodoa shutter?, which reach to a, height of some six feat from the ground, That intending borgltiTß would do this was extremely unlikely, for each proceedings would not only attract attention outside, but the Intruders would also run the riffc of their being seeo from insido. There is, however, a slight übrinkaga of wood tf the shutters that has left a imrow slit through which it is possible to obtain a fairly clear view of both sides of the noil liter.

Tht amoQQt stotan from tbe bank was &c follow!:—£1240 in £10 notes, £2445 in £5 notes £1142, in s'nglo notes .£529 in gold, «nd £82 in e'-lver. This formed but a email portion of the money iv the building, being merely tho teller's c»Bh for ordinary rrquirenjentp. Ihe bulk of the specie wae in the m«na> ger'p room. Of tho tnonpy in tbo bsnk ing cbtmbsr, absolutely tho whole of the gold was taken. The copper was untouched, and the only roll of bank saotesthit opctped the clutches of (he burglars wib one totalling in vslne £100 which was hidden from view behind the copper. The ex»ct amount of silver left was £250 worth, only one of four bags in tbe Bale being t»ken, piker brought,from Z^elian thai; evening by Mr Hodge, the mnusger being left un touched.

Superintendent Hedberg arrived in Qtteenstown from Straban the next mbrmng, in order to superintend efforts to diecoyer the authors of the crime, »net bring them to justice. The police sr® very reticent, but.are qoiatly con fideat that they are on the trail of the criaamalg. They have great hopes of their efiorti being crowned success within the next day or two. Priar to the departure of the Mahi. napua from Strahan for Hobart. the n^xfe morning, the'police examined sun dry items of passengers' luggage at it was being transhipped frcm the Qaeen etown train to the boat

The bank building is a small make shift structure of the usual style which banking corporations erect in miningf towuthips while they are feeling their way to permanent buildings. There is a back as well as a front entrance, bat to get to the latter fa broken ground, and obstacles to pats over, and, as a matter of fact, many private callera on the manager's household prefer the front entrance. Hence there are fre quent taps at the front door—that ia the bank dcor—and ready response is given. Though the bank Is situated in Orr street, the baaiaesa centre of Qaeenetowia, and where townsfolk at night mostly congregate, it so happen ed that on the night of the robbery there, had been a meeting to hear the views of candidates for election to the Hospital Board, This was held at some distance from the baak, and^ as a matter of coarse, even after the meet ing was ovqr, people stayed to talk, | and the centre portion of Orr strcrt I was for the time deserted. I

This was the robbers opportunity, and fitted in splendidly with the- re torn of the manager of the ba-nk from. Zeeham earlier in- the evening. The manager who waa abeeßf-, was, we understand, engaged In a quiet game ot cKeaa in the company of fellow chess players at their customary place of »eeting, ttome little distance from the bast, when the robbery was cftected.
