E. SIDE ‘KILLERS’ CARTED OFF WRONG SAFE: SON

The thugs who killed a 91-year-old Auschwitz survivor grabbed the wrong safe — taking one stuffed with paperwork and leaving behind the one with $3,000 in cash, police sources and his son said yesterday.

Angela Murray and her male accomplice stole the larger of the two safes in Guido Felix Brinkmann’s East Side apartment, placing it on an office chair and wheeling it down four flights of stairs, the sources said.

When cops found it at Murray’s Bronx apartment, it contained only papers and tax returns, the sources said.

Brinkmann’s son, Rick, said his father kept cash in a small 10-by-9-inch cylindrical safe that the thieves left behind. Cops later found $3,000 inside, the sources said.

Brinkmann, who survived three Nazi death camps and ran the popular Adams Apple disco in the 1970s, was bound and beaten to death last Wednesday in his East 65th Street apartment.

Investigators theorize he was slain when he wouldn’t give up the combinations to the two safes, the sources said.

Murray, 30, was arrested Saturday after the doorman at Brinkmann’s building picked her out of a lineup. Her alleged accomplice is still at large.
