The Bank Robbery of summervi1Ie
The dispatches have already told us Of
the robbery of the Summerville bank on
the night of the Sd inst. 1t may not
be generally known here that the robbed
bank is owned by members of the fam
lily of DR.. W. E. Rinehart of this city. |
In fact DIR. Rinehart himself has a fourth
interest in the concern. A private letter
to the doctor from his brother contains
the following account of the robbery:
1 returned to the Office last night about
Z O'Clock to do some work and little
after s returned home. After blowing
out the lights started out the front door
and just as opened it, two masked men
presented pistols at me and forced me
into the bank. i came near forcing them
out, had the door almost shut bnt they
overpowered me. During the time / made
one good yell, and Jack Patters saloon
door was open but they thought it was
some boy and paid no attention to me.
l was forced at the muzzle of the gun to
open the vault and deliver over the cash.
They got away with $4779. so. How is
that? We will make clear search for
them in a couple of hours and hope to
be able to do something.
Yours truly
III. G. REMNANT.
