Intruder Makes History by Entering Impregnable Financial Institution.
By the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 30.—The bank of England, hither-to considered impregnable as the Rock of Gibraltar and absolutely burglar-proof, was broken into some time after midnight on Saturday.
History of a sort was made in Police Court today when Timothy Phillips was arraigned on a charge of “breaking and entering the premises of the Bank of England with intent to commit a felony.”
A detective testified that a watchman at the bank had found Phillips hiding in the basement. The man told police he had climbed through a back window. He was reminded for trial.
