Bloomington (Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana) Daily Telephone, June 25, 1928, p. 1. Note: The first part of this item was cut off in copying as indicated by ellipsis. .. Bakery on north Indiana avenue was blown Saturday night by professional yeggs but on account of a piece of hard-luck the yeggs did not get into the same which contained $380. There is no doubt about the work being that of professionals, as the explosive which demolished the safe was handled with skill and hardly any damage was done to the store. The safe, valued at $75, was utterly wrecked, but a half-inch inside steel door was blown inward and jammed. The yeggs could not budge this door and could not blow it as they could not seal up the nitro-glycerin. It took three men with sledge-hammers to break out this jammed inside door this morning. The yeggs entered the bakery, of which George Dietz is manager, at about midnight Saturday and the robbery was not discovered until Sunday morning at 7 o'clock. The yeggs cut a neat hole in the back door, went to the safe and set about their work. They moved back of the show cases and bakery equipment so it would be outside the range of the explosion. They used shoe polish to hold the "nitro" in the cracks of the safe, and they wrecked the safe completely with the explosion. Only by a chance was the inside steel door wedged in such a way that the yeggs could not get into the cash. They must have struggled at it desperately but were probably frightened away. They went out the front door and slid the key to that door back under it. The robbery was very lucky for the bakery in that the expert safe blowers did not do any special damage to the equipment and also failed to get the money. The safe is a total loss. No clues.

I think there was photographer in Bloomington named 'Correa' at one point, and there was until a few years ago a resident with that surname.
